Lyrics
You got plenty of reasons for keepin' it distant
You have numerous reasons for maintaining emotional distance.
But please just listen when I say I
Despite the reasons, please pay attention when I express myself.
I can't do this alone
I cannot handle this situation on my own.
It's late at night, yeah I'm cryin' on the phone
During late nights, I find myself crying on the phone.
And I'm sleepin' all day except it's all on my own
I spend the entire day sleeping, feeling isolated.
Remember when we use to talk all night on the phone
Recalling the past when we used to talk for hours on the phone.
You know I'm tryin' hard to make things right
I am making a sincere effort to set things right.
I don't wanna be alone tonight
I don't want to be alone tonight.
And in my sleep I hear you callin' my name
In my dreams, I hear you calling my name.
I hear you cryin' just to try and take all the blame
I perceive your pain, attempting to shoulder all the blame.
It's all way too much that I can take
The burden is overwhelming, surpassing my capacity.
Can't we try to find another way out
Suggesting an exploration of alternative solutions.
Smokin' cigarettes on the porch with your friends
Sharing moments, smoking cigarettes with your friends.
I'm not ready to go, I don't want this to end
Expressing a reluctance for things to come to an end.
I just wanna stay another night
Desiring to stay together for another night.
Can't we try to just keep things light
Suggesting to maintain a lighter, less serious atmosphere.
And I don't know where you're gonna go now
Uncertain about where you might go from here.
I don't know how this could ever turn out
Expressing uncertainty about the future outcome.
To be everything we use to be
Hoping to revive the past and everything we used to be.
But can we try even if I bleed
Willing to try, even if it involves emotional pain.
You got plenty of reasons for keepin' it distant
Reiteration of the multitude of reasons for emotional distance.
But please just listen when I say I
Reiterating the plea for attentive listening.
I can't do this alone
Emphasizing the inability to face the situation alone.
It's late at night, yeah I'm cryin' on the phone
Narrating a scene of nighttime distress and crying on the phone.
And I'm sleepin' all day except it's all on my own
Continuing the theme of isolation during the day.
Remember when we use to talk all night on the phone
Nostalgia for past conversations that stretched into the night.
You know I'm tryin' hard to make things right
Reaffirming the commitment to making amends.
I don't wanna be alone tonight
Expressing the desire not to face loneliness tonight.
And in my sleep I hear you callin' my name
Revisiting the dream realm where your name is called.
I hear you cryin' just to try and take all the blame
Hearing your cries and acknowledging the attempt to bear blame.
It's all way too much that I can take
Acknowledging the overwhelming nature of the situation.
Can't we try to find another way out
Pleading for an exploration of alternative solutions once again.
