Lyrics
Watch it all play out
Observing a situation unfold
Reactions too familiar
Responses are too familiar or predictable
The way I act is similar
Behavior mirrors a mental image
To how I see it in my mind
Actions align with mental perceptions
Say just what you mean
Advocating for honesty in communication
But love I don't believe in
Expressing skepticism or lack of belief in love
The days we spend are fleeting
Time spent together feels brief and transient
And passing by the time
Time is passing quickly
Stand up straighter
Adjusting posture, possibly symbolizing readiness
With my back against the wall
Feeling defensive or cornered
Keep me still
Desire for stillness and reflection
And wondering just why we falter
Questioning reasons for stumbling or failure
Don't you want to stay here
Inviting the partner to stay in the moment
Or do you want to phase me out?
Asking if the partner wants to distance themselves
Don't you want to lay here
Asking if the partner wants to remain in the current situation
Or would you rather do without?
Exploring the possibility of being excluded
Eventually you'll crack
Predicting emotional breakdown or vulnerability
And remember there's no need for
Recalling the unnecessary nature of conflict
Siphoning some reason
Drawing on rationality from a fading boundary
From a dissipating line we drew
Referencing a diminishing connection or commitment
Stand up straighter
Repeating the need for readiness and vigilance
With my back against the wall
Reiterating the desire for stability
Keep me still
Seeking stillness amid uncertainty
And wondering just why we falter
Questioning the reasons for relationship challenges
Don't you want to stay here
Encouraging the partner to remain in the current situation
Or do you want to phase me out?
Pleading for the partner to stay connected
Don't you want to lay here
Asking if the partner wants to continue the relationship
Or would you rather do without?
Exploring the possibility of separation
Stand up straight
Emphasizing the need for resilience
With my back against the wall
Reiterating the defensive posture
Keep me still
Expressing the desire for stability
And wondering just why we falter
Questioning the reasons for relationship challenges
Don't you want to stay here
Encouraging the partner to remain in the current situation
Or do you want to phase me out?
Pleading for the partner to stay connected
Don't you want to lay here
Asking if the partner wants to continue the relationship
Or would you rather do without?
Exploring the possibility of separation
Don't you want to stay here
Reiterating the plea for the partner to stay
Or do you want to phase me out?
Asking if the partner wants to distance themselves
