Staplegunned
The Spill Canvas Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Should have kissed you in the elevator
But I was too scared to
It was in the morning, when I made up my mind
I want you staple gunned
Right to my side all of the time
Whoa
[Chorus]
Do I have to spell it out for you
Or scream it in your face
Oh, the chemistry between us
Could destroy this place
Do I have to spell it out for you
Or whisper in your ear
Oh, just stop right there
I think that we've got something here
We all alone when I finally made a pass at you
It didn't work, and no it never does
But you know how I do
We were all alone when I made up my mind
I want you staple gunned
Right to my side all of the time
Whoa
In the song "Staplegunned" by The Spill Canvas, the singer sings about his infatuation with his crush. The lyrics begin in the lobby of a building where he saw the person and regretted not kissing them in the elevator because he was too scared to make a move. The singer continues to express his feelings and how he has decided that he wants the person "staple gunned" to his side all the time. In the chorus, he asks if he needs to spell it out for the person by screaming it in their face or whispering it in their ear. He implies that the chemistry between them is so strong that it could destroy everything around them. In the second verse, he recounts how he tried to make a pass at them, but it didn't work out, like it usually does, showing that he has tried this before. He still confesses that he wants the person with him all the time.
The song is about unrequited love and the fear of rejection. The singer wishes that their crush would reciprocate their feelings, but they are hesitant to take the first step. The line "staple gunned to my side all of the time" is a metaphorical way of saying that the singer wants the person with them always. The song expresses the fear of making a move and losing the friendship and the excitement of the possibility of a romance.

It was in the lobby, when I set my sights on you
I first noticed you in the lobby of this building
Should have kissed you in the elevator
I regret not kissing you when we were alone in the elevator.
But I was too scared to
I was too afraid to take a chance and kiss you.
It was in the morning, when I made up my mind
One morning I decided that I want you to be with me all the time.
I want you staple gunned
I want you to be attached to me at all times.
Right to my side all of the time
I want you to always be by my side.
Do I have to spell it out for you
Do I need to make it clearer for you to understand?
Or scream it in your face
Should I have to be loud and forceful to get my point across?
Oh, the chemistry between us
Our connection is powerful.
Could destroy this place
It could create chaos or change things dramatically.
Or whisper in your ear
Do I need to be close and intimate to express my feelings?
Oh, just stop right there
Let's pause and consider the significance of this moment.
I think that we've got something here
I believe that we have a special relationship.
We all alone when I finally made a pass at you
We were alone when I expressed my romantic interest in you.
It didn't work, and no it never does
My attempts at pursuing you rarely succeed.
But you know how I do
You're aware of the way that I act and feel towards you.
We were all alone when I made up my mind
We were in a private setting when I decided that I want to be with you.
