Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Hope I don't find you alone
Hope I don't find you alone
Hope I don't find you alone
(Hope I don't)
Hope I don't, hope I don't
Hope I don't give into the struggle and
Hope I don't find you alone
Hope I don't find you in the pillows and
I hope I don't find you alone
You're like a dream
And you've got me kinda tongue-tied
Like cartoon with its tongue out
Let me get my tongue right
Over my teeth so I can a few words
A couple things I regret
And hope I haven't been heard (Yeah)
I get more chicken than the damn pox
I'm squarer than a damn box
I'm crueler than some lamb chops
I'll hit 'em with a sigh and float off to a good cry
'Cause when it boils down I'm just a sensitive guy
Hope I don't, hope I don't
Hope I don't give into the struggle and
Hope I don't find you alone
Hope I don't, hope I don't
Hope I don't find you in the pillows and
I hope I don't find you alone
If it was me, I'd let the rules be broken
If it was me, I'd take things as they go
It's not what you think, I lived a life before you
But if it was me, I'd let you be my home
Hope I don't, hope I don't
Hope I don't give into the struggle and
Hope I don't find you alone
Hope I don't, hope I don't
Hope I don't find you in the pillows and
I hope I don't find you alone
The lyrics to "&friends's" song "I Don" seem to be about the fear of being alone and the hope of avoiding it. The repetition of the line "hope I don't find you alone" emphasizes the concern of being isolated. The singer appears to be addressing someone they care for and don't want to see hurting or struggling. They express their desire to be a comfort and a home for this person. The lyrics also mention the singer's own insecurities and sensitivity.
The imagery used in the song reflects the playful and imaginative nature of the lyrics. The line "let me get my tongue right over my teeth" suggests the singer is nervous and wants to speak carefully to the person they care for. The comparison to a cartoon with its tongue out creates a lighthearted visual. The line "I get more chicken than the damn pox" is a humorous way of saying the singer is a bit of a coward. Even with these moments of playfulness, the underlying fear of loneliness and isolation remains.

I desire to not find you by yourself
Hope I don't give into the struggle and
I wish to not surrender to the difficulty and pressure
Hope I don't find you in the pillows and
I hope to not discover you hiding under cushions
You're like a dream
You resemble a fantasy or imagination
And you've got me kinda tongue-tied
You have made me a little speechless and at a loss for words
Like cartoon with its tongue out
Similar to a character from a cartoon sticking its tongue out
Let me get my tongue right
Let me fix myself and be ready to speak
Over my teeth so I can a few words
With my tongue positioned over my teeth so I can say some things
A couple things I regret
There are some things I feel remorse for
And hope I haven't been heard (Yeah)
And I hope no one has heard me say those things
I get more chicken than the damn pox
I get more food than I could ever eat
I'm squarer than a damn box
I'm straight-laced and rigid
I'm crueler than some lamb chops
I can be harsher than expected
I'll hit 'em with a sigh and float off to a good cry
I'll give an exasperated sigh and then retreat to cry alone
'Cause when it boils down I'm just a sensitive guy
Because ultimately, I am a emotionally responsive man
If it was me, I'd let the rules be broken
If I were in charge, I would allow the rules to be bent or disregarded
If it was me, I'd take things as they go
If it were up to me, I would handle things as they happen
It's not what you think, I lived a life before you
It is not what it seems, I had experiences before I met you
But if it was me, I'd let you be my home
However, if I had a choice, I would make you my home
