Lyrics
Get ahold of yourself, man
Encouragement to regain composure and control.
It's 2am, time to make a plan
Recognition of the late hour, suggesting a need for decisive action.
If I had it my way you 'ain't getting anything you don't deserve
Desire for fairness, implying consequences based on deserving.
You've got a lot of nerve
Pointing out audacity or boldness in the person addressed.
And I know, I know, that it was easier to go
Acknowledgment of the ease of leaving compared to enduring a challenging situation.
Than to stand by your man
Choosing departure over supporting a significant other.
They say, "get a vision and write it down
Advice to set goals and document them, emphasizing their importance.
Only way it's gonna come around"
Emphasizing the necessity of proactive efforts for desired outcomes.
But I'm fucked up and I'm starting to think it's a situ-to-slow-down
Expressing personal turmoil and considering it a factor slowing progress.
And I don't know if I can do it alone
Uncertainty about the ability to face challenges alone.
But I have to try
A commitment to attempt despite uncertainties.
I know, I know, that you're not one to blame
Acknowledging the other person's lack of blame in the situation.
We can't go over this again
Resistance to revisiting or rehashing a problematic situation.
'Cuz I'd choke, I know, on every word I wanted to say
Anticipating difficulty expressing thoughts and emotions.
Maybe it's better this way
Suggesting acceptance of a possibly inevitable separation.
You pull away for something else
Noting a withdrawal or distancing for another pursuit.
You wanted to run away from me, now
Highlighting a desire to escape the relationship.
To run away, for someone else you wanted
Reiterating the wish to leave for someone else.
You'll get away with it all
Expectation of escaping consequences successfully.
Oh, I had visions of grandeur
Reflecting on ambitious dreams or aspirations.
Well I had visions of grandeur
Reiteration of past ambitious visions.
Now I don't know if I can do it
Expressing doubt about facing challenges.
All I know, is I have to try
Acknowledging the necessity to make an effort despite uncertainties.
