Lyrics

What's up, Tonight, can you call me if you've got the time

Asking someone to call if they have time tonight.

Cause I'm not coming back

Expressing a decision not to return.

I'm not coming back if i leave you

Reiterating the reluctance to return if leaving.

It's you again

Noticing the recurrence of a particular person (likely a romantic interest).

The voices in my head got me spinning round you like a carousel

Feeling mentally consumed by thoughts of someone, comparing it to a carousel.

I know I'm meant for better, I put in all the effort

Acknowledging a belief in personal worth and effort for a better situation.


Wanted to rock, since before I could walk

Expressing a desire for a dynamic and exciting life since childhood.

I knew I had a feeling, maybe I'm dreaming

Reflecting on a feeling, questioning if it's a dream.

Turning and tossed, my emotions are washed

Describing emotional turmoil and confusion.

She told me I'm reckless, don't know how to stop

Being perceived as reckless and unable to stop by someone.


I got nothing to lose

Emphasizing a lack of possessions or commitments.

If I don't see you tomorrow I won't know what to do, but I know I can't follow you there

Expressing uncertainty about the future without the person but unwilling to follow them.

This is goodbye, I'm not scared

Facing the end of a relationship without fear.

Cause I got nothing to lose, I know it's just an attachment

Acknowledging the transient nature of feelings, seeing them as attachments.

Hope is holding me hostage, so I never forgot

Feeling controlled by hope, preventing forgetfulness.

It's not fair

Expressing a sense of unfairness.

You look at me like you don't care, so I guess I'm out of here

Perceiving indifference in the other person and deciding to leave.


Glad that you're gone, cause I'm too young to settle down

Expressing relief at the departure of the person, not wanting to settle down.

You played the part that people just forget about

Noting the forgettable role played by the person in the past.

Don't even start, cause I know what you're doing now

Warning against starting something again, aware of the other person's intentions.

Play with my head, I know you love to mess around

Accusing the person of playing with emotions and enjoying manipulation.


Do it again

Desiring a repetitive action (possibly the emotional manipulation).

It's like it's over and over

Feeling stuck in a cycle that repeats.

You don't want it to end

Not wanting the cycle to end despite losing control.

But you've been losing composure

Noticing the loss of composure in the other person.

I don't know how that's fair to me

Expressing confusion about the perceived unfairness.

Now I don't need you there for me

Declaring independence, not needing the other person for support.


Wanted to rock, since before I could walk

Repeating the desire for an exciting life since childhood.

I knew I had a feeling, maybe I'm dreaming

Reiterating the feeling and questioning if it's a dream.

Turning and tossed, my emotions are washed

Describing emotional upheaval.

She told me I'm reckless, don't know how to stop

Recalling being labeled as reckless and unable to stop.
