Lyrics
With you here
Expressing the presence of someone important.
It's hard not to care
Highlighting the difficulty of not caring when that person is around.
You keep your hands to yourself
Describing a boundary; advising to keep physical distance.
Your mind is somewhere else
Suggesting the person's distraction or lack of focus.
I guess you've forgotten
Implying forgetfulness or neglect of a shared experience.
How light my touch feels
Recalling the delicacy of the speaker's touch.
It wears you down
Noting the impact of the relationship on the speaker.
You say I wear you down
Quoting the partner acknowledging the wearing effect.
Don't come and tell me I should never have gone out of my way with you
Defending a past action, implying regret or reproach.
Seem to think if we keep talking you'll just end up losing it to
Suggesting a fear that continued communication may lead to emotional breakdown.
It's all right here
Asserting the presence and availability of understanding.
I won't force you to care
Declaring a lack of intention to force emotional involvement.
Got too much time on my hands
Expressing an abundance of free time.
Guess you do understand
Noting a perceived mutual understanding of the speaker's situation.
I'd all but forgotten how nice your touch feels
Recalling the positive sensation of the partner's touch.
You wore me down
Acknowledging the wearing down effect on the speaker.
You know you wore me down
Affirming the partner's awareness of wearing down the speaker.
Don't come and tell me I should never have gone out of my way with you
Reiterating the regret or reproach for a past action.
Seem to think if we keep talking you'll just end up losing it to
Expressing concern about the potential negative outcome of continued communication.
(Losing it too)
(Repetition) Reemphasizing the fear of emotional loss or breakdown.
Don't come and tell me I should never have gone out of my way with you
(Repetition) Reiterating regret or reproach for a past action.
Seem to think if we keep talking you'll just end up losing it to
(Repetition) Reemphasizing concern about the potential negative outcome of continued communication.
