Hotel Beds
Heartstrings Tied: A Melodic Tale of Longing and Choices
Lyrics
You crossed my mind when I crossed state lines
You were on my mind when I traveled across state borders
I know I really should have called you
Acknowledging the need to have contacted you
Between the city signs on the all night drives back home
Reflecting on the journey between city signs during late-night drives back home
I really should have called you but I just didn't want to
Admitting the realization that a call should have been made but intentionally avoided
You've got me wrapped around your finger
Expressing emotional attachment and vulnerability to the person
Like a noose tied around my neck, so what's next?
Describing the emotional entanglement as tight and potentially harmful
'Cause I might be falling but I'm not down yet
Acknowledging the possibility of falling emotionally but not completely succumbing
I swear I saw your name in letters on a license plate last night
Noticing the person's name in unexpected places, possibly due to preoccupation with thoughts
I must be losing my mind
Expressing a sense of confusion or mental strain
Every song I've heard this week was written about you and me I think
Suggesting that every song heard lately relates to the person, indicating a strong emotional impact
I really should have called you, I just couldn't bring myself to
Acknowledging the missed opportunity to call and the difficulty in doing so
You've got me wrapped around your finger
Reiterating emotional attachment and vulnerability
Like a noose tied around my neck, so what's next?
Comparing emotional entanglement to a noose, questioning what comes next
You're keeping me awake in a hotel bed
Stating that thoughts of the person are keeping the singer awake in a hotel bed
You got me wrapped around your finger, so what's next?
Repeating the idea of being wrapped around the person's finger and questioning the future
'Cause I might be falling but I'm not down yet
Reiterating the potential for emotional falling without complete surrender
So let's try to be honest I don't know what I want
Expressing uncertainty and the difficulty of understanding personal desires
'Cause it's too much to handle and I just get caught up
Admitting the overwhelming nature of emotions and getting entangled in them
Tripping over every word I would say to you
Describing difficulty in articulating thoughts and words to the person
If you let me 'cause you got me
Requesting permission to express emotions fully
