Contagious
Trapt Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Such a lack of conviction, no real connection, what should I settle for?
But you caught my attention, you built on the tension, and you left me wanting more
Now I don't know what to do with myself, do with myself
I don't want nobody else
I let you in, I let you in and you infected me
Can't get enough of you, Can't get enough of you
I breathed you in, I breathed you in and now I'm in too deep
Don't think I'm pulling through, Don't think I'm pulling through
Can't get enough of you, Can't get enough of you
You're so contagious
Running through my veins you're so contagious
Hanging onto every word you're so contagious
And I can't get away
You're so contagious and now I know for sure there is no cure
I saw your intentions, i gave you permission, go ahead and start the war
I was out of addictions, by my own admission, oh I've been keeping score
But you made an exception you taught me a lesson
Who cares where I've been before?
You would never leave me all by myself, all by myself
You don't want nobody else
I let you in, I let you in and you infected me
Can't get enough of you, Can't get enough of you
I breathed you in, I breathed you in and now I'm in too deep
Don't think I'm pulling through, Don't think I'm pulling through
Can't get enough of you, Can't get enough of you
You're so contagious
Running through my veins you're so contagious
Hanging onto every word you're so contagious
And I can't get away
You're so contagious and now I know for sure there is no cure
And I am burning in your fire (There is no cure)
And I have only one desire (There is no cure)
(Now I don't know what to do with myself, do with myself)
I can not deny her (There is no cure)
Now I don't know what to with myself, do with myself
I don't want nobody else
I let you in, I let you in and you infected me
Can't get enough of you, Can't get enough of you
I breathed you in, I breathed you in and now I'm in too deep
Don't think I'm pulling through, Don't think I'm pulling through
Can't get enough of you, Can't get enough of you, Can't get enough of you
You're so contagious
Running through my veins you're so contagious
Hanging onto every word you're so contagious
And I can't get away
You're so contagious and now I know for sure there is no cure
You keep running, you keep running, you keep running through my veins
You keep running, you keep running, you keep running through my veins
You keep running, you keep running, you keep running through my veins
You keep running, you keep running, you keep running through my veins

I was sick of restrictions, sick of the boundaries, about to close the door
I was tired of the limitations and rules that controlled my life and almost gave up
Such a lack of conviction, no real connection, what should I settle for?
I lacked motivation and purpose, with no meaningful relationships. I didn't know what to accept anymore
But you caught my attention, you built on the tension, and you left me wanting more
But then you came along and intrigued me, you fueled my curiosity and desire for something more
Now I don't know what to do with myself, do with myself
Now that you are in my life, I am lost without you
I let you in, I let you in and you infected me
I allowed myself to become vulnerable to you, and now I am deeply affected by you
Can't get enough of you, Can't get enough of you
I crave your presence and cannot get enough of it
I breathed you in, I breathed you in and now I'm in too deep
I have become so engrossed in you that it feels impossible to escape
Don't think I'm pulling through, Don't think I'm pulling through
I don't think I can survive without you
You're so contagious
Your effect on me is like a disease that I cannot escape
Running through my veins you're so contagious
Your influence over me is so deep that it feels like it's running through my blood
Hanging onto every word you're so contagious
I am captivated by everything you say and do
And I can't get away
I am unable to distance myself from you
And now I know for sure there is no cure
I realize that there is no way to undo the effect that you have had on me
I was out of addictions, by my own admission, oh I've been keeping score
I had overcome my past addictions, and was aware of them. I was aware how many times I had failed in the past.
But you made an exception you taught me a lesson
But you were different, and you taught me something valuable
Who cares where I've been before?
You didn't judge me based on my past, and that didn't matter to you
You would never leave me all by myself, all by myself
You promised to always be there for me, no matter what
You keep running, you keep running, you keep running through my veins
Your effect on me is relentless, you continue to be a powerful presence in my life

The more I have heard of this band the more I have realized how brilliant they are, I tell ya. A very rich tapestry in every single fucking song of theirs.
@Jesus4Guitar
Yet they will always be underated because their singer and people think headstrong is the only song they have written
@SidNightWalker
@Daniel Tonkin yeah and that's like their worst song by far. Ugh.
@Spooder-Man_
@SidNightWalker Headstrong is my favorite song
