Lyrics
Can you hear them knocking at our door?
Expressing awareness of external pressures or challenges approaching.
Can't let them take us away no more
Resisting being separated or taken away by external forces.
Can you hear them knocking at our door?
Reiteration of the awareness of external challenges at the doorstep.
Same excuses that we've heard before
Noticing repetitive excuses that have been heard before.
Stare at pictures of you 'til I'm blind
Focusing intensely on images or memories until losing sight, possibly metaphorical.
Do your words make up what's on your mind?
Questioning if spoken words accurately reflect thoughts or emotions.
Can you hear them knocking at our door?
Reiterating the presence of external challenges at the door.
I don't wanna think about it
Expressing reluctance to dwell on certain thoughts, possibly related to a relationship and geographical distance.
If I'm the only thing on your mind
-I don't wanna think about it
-If I'm really wastin' all of your time
-I don't wanna think about it
-When we're on different coastlines
-I don't wanna think about it
-I don't wanna think about it
-I don't wanna think about it
Repeating the desire to avoid certain thoughts and drama in the situation.
I don't mean to be dramatic
-I don't wanna think about it, about it
-Shut the door and we can lock them out
Suggesting closing the door to keep external influences out.
Things look different when you're not around
Noticing a change in perspective when someone is absent.
Too embarrassed to admit I've cried
Feeling too embarrassed to admit emotional vulnerability, perhaps crying.
Sort of hope it's that way on your side
Expressing a wish for a similar emotional experience on the other person's side.
I don't wanna think about it
Repeating the reluctance to think about specific issues, including being a predominant thought in someone's mind and wasting their time.
