Out of Style
Brandon Rogers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But we?ve got a library of history on the shelf
I?ve got some things that I need to say
And no, baby. This can?t wait
I got to do it
I was hoping that it would never come to this
But if I save right now for later, I?d be remiss
We got to do it
When I?m out
With my friends
You think I?m doing wrong
And if I don?t
Call you every five minutes
It?s been too long
I know
You think honesty is not in style
All that I?m trying to say
Is you?ve got to change?sometimes
Now, I know I haven?t always been the best
I did my time for the crime that I confessed
So let?s keep the past the past
You got to trust me, this I ask
Are you gonna do it?
When I?m out
With my friends
You think I?m doing wrong
And if I don?t
Call you every five minutes
It?s been too long
I know
You think honesty is not in style
All that I?m trying to say
Is you?ve got to change?sometimes
Cause I don?t know how much more that I can take
If you keep treading on thin ice, it?s bound to break
If it?s the end you want to see, then baby keep on pushing me
Do you really wanna do it?

The second verse continues to illustrate the issues plaguing the relationship, namely trust and insecurity. Brandon sings about how his partner becomes suspicious of him when he's out with friends, which leads to a lack of trust and feelings of inadequacy. He acknowledges that honesty may not be considered fashionable or stylish, but emphasizes its importance nonetheless. He also notes that both parties must be willing to change in order for the relationship to improve, and pleads with his partner to trust him and move past the mistakes of the past.
Overall, "Out of Style" speaks to the universal struggle of maintaining open and honest communication with a loved one. It emphasizes the value of trust and the necessity of confronting difficult situations head-on in order to grow and move forward.

I’ve been trying to keep these feelings to myself
I've been avoiding telling you how I feel
But we’ve got a library of history on the shelf
We have a lot of memories between us
I’ve got some things that I need to say
I have some things I need to express
And no, baby. This can’t wait
We need to talk about this now
I got to do it
I have to say what’s on my mind
I was hoping that it would never come to this
I hoped that we wouldn't have to have this conversation
But if I save right now for later, I’d be remiss
If I postpone this talk, I would be neglectful
So, if I want to work this out, Then we gotta duke it out
If we want to resolve this, we need to confront each other
We got to do it
We have to talk things out
When I’m out. With my friends
When I’m spending time with my friends
You think I’m doing wrong
You believe that I’m doing something bad
And if I don’t. Call you every five minutes
And if I don’t call you very often
It’s been too long
You think I’m neglecting you
I know
I understand
You think honesty is not in style
You think people don’t value honesty
All that I’m trying to say. Is you’ve got to change—sometimes
All I’m saying is that sometimes you need to be flexible and change
Now, I know I haven’t always been the best
I understand that I haven’t always been perfect
I did my time for the crime that I confessed
I paid the price for the mistake that I owned up to
So let’s keep the past the past
Let’s not dwell on the past
You got to trust me, this I ask
I need you to trust me
Are you gonna do it?
Will you trust me?
Cause I don’t know how much more that I can take
I'm not sure how much longer I can handle this situation
If you keep treading on thin ice, it’s bound to break
If you continue to push me, we're going to have serious problems
If it’s the end you want to see, then baby keep on pushing me
If you want things to end, then keep agitating me
Do you really wanna do it?
Do you want to continue this relationship?
