Lyrics
Leave but come home soon
Expresses a desire for departure but also a wish for a swift return.
And can you get me something?
Asking someone to acquire something for the speaker.
And I don't usually break many promises I make
Usually keeps promises but acknowledges occasional failure.
It's just sometimes I could use a little shove
Admits needing encouragement or motivation at times.
These are things I did for my love
Repetition emphasizing actions taken out of love or devotion.
These are things I did for my love
-These are things I
-Hey kid you go wrong
Advising someone who often makes mistakes.
More times than you thought you could be
Acknowledges repeated errors or missteps.
Running on streaks of no money I'll be
Enduring periods without funds.
Too far to catch you up if you should need
Unable to offer help due to distance.
Because your heart's breaking, your mouth's shaking
Describes emotional distress and a need for self-preservation.
Your eyes are full and high
-For now I've got to look out for me
-Wasted....
Implies squandered or lost opportunities or resources.
Hey kid look around
Questioning self-reflection about personal growth.
Is your look in the mirror clearer than it used to be?
Wondering if self-awareness has improved.
Still running on streaks of no money no sleep
Continued struggle without money or rest.
And no friends to get you off if you should need
Isolated without friends for support.
Because your heart's breaking your mouth's shaking
Repeated emotional turmoil and the need for self-focus.
Your eyes are full and high
-And the handshake was a mistake
-When you wished you said goodbye
-For now I've got to look out for me
-And life sure passes you by
Reflects on time passing while feeling stagnant.
When you're living in living rooms
Metaphorically living in a state of complacency or lack of progress.
Maybe you should find a place of your own
Suggests the need for change or finding independence.
Maybe find another place
Encouraging finding a new and better environment.
Because your heart's breaking, your mouth's shaking
Reiterating personal turmoil and the necessity of self-preservation.
Your eyes are full and high
-And the handshake was a mistake
-And you wished you said goodbye
-Lost your last name, missed your last train
-And your rides just said goodbye
-For now I've got to look out for me
-Grown-ups sometimes get their fill of sleeping pills
Adults sometimes turn to substances to cope with stress.
And end up on the brink after drinking all night
Describes risky behavior after excessive drinking.
Rental cars and topless bars, sit underneath the radar just a bit
Suggests engaging in activities unnoticed or under the radar.
And to make it all right so make it all right
Seeking a way to make things okay or acceptable.
Make it all right it's bearable
Repetition emphasizing the pursuit of making things bearable.
So make it all right make it all right it's bearable
-These are things I did for my love
Reiteration of actions taken out of love.
These are things I did for my love
-These are things I did for my love
-These are things I did for my love
Final repetition underscoring actions done for love.
