Wisdom HQ 2
E.O.E Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That distant look is in your eyes
I thought with time you'd realize it's over, over
It's not the way I choose to live
And something's somewhere's got to give
As sharing this relationship get's over, over
You know I'd fight for you
But how can I fight someone who isn't even there
I don't care if that's not fair
Cause I want it all or nothing at all
There's no where left to fall
When you reach the bottom it's now or never
Is it all or are we just friends
Is this how it ends with a simple telephone call
You leave me here with nothing at all
There are times it seems to me
I'm sharing you in memories
I feel it in my heart but I don't show it, show it
And then there's times you look at me
As though I'm all that you can see
Those times I don't believe it's right, I know it, know it
Don't make me promises
Baby you never did know how to keep them well
I've had the rest of you now I want the best of you
It's time for show and tell
Cause I want it all or nothing at all
There's no where left to fall
When you reach the bottom it's now or never
Is it all or are we just friends
Is this how it ends with a simple telephone call
You leave me here with nothing at all
Cause you and I could lose it all
If you've got no more room, no no
Inside, for me in your life
Cause I want it all or nothing at all
There's no where left to fall
It's now or never
Is it all or nothing at all
There's no where left to fall
When you reach the bottom it's now or never
Is it all or are we just friends
Is this how it ends with a simple telephone call
You leave me here with nothing at all
Or nothing at all
There's no where left to fall
When you reach the bottom it's now or never
Is it all or are we just friends
Is this how it ends with a simple telephone call
You leave me here with nothing at all
The lyrics to E.O.E's song "Wisdom HQ 2" convey a sense of frustration and desperation from the point of view of someone who wants their romantic partner to commit fully to the relationship. The first verse references the partner's distant look and indicates that the singer thought the partner would realize the relationship was over with time. The chorus makes it clear that the singer wants their partner to either fully commit or end things, with phrases like "I want it all or nothing at all" and "when you reach the bottom it's now or never." The singer is willing to fight for the partner, but also acknowledges that it's difficult to fight someone who isn't present in the relationship.
The second verse suggests some ambivalence on the part of both the singer and the partner. The singer feels like they're only sharing the partner in memories, while the partner gives mixed signals about their feelings. The bridge highlights the potential consequences of not making a choice - the singer and partner could "lose it all" if there's no room left for the singer in the partner's life. The final chorus returns to the main theme of wanting either full commitment or a clean break.

I know when he's been on your mind
I know you're thinking about someone else
That distant look is in your eyes
You have a far-off look in your eyes that reveals your thoughts
I thought with time you'd realize it's over, over
I expected you to eventually come to terms with the end of our relationship
It's not the way I choose to live
Breaking up is not how I want to live my life
And something's somewhere's got to give
Something has to change in this relationship
As sharing this relationship gets over, over
Our relationship is coming to an end
You know I'd fight for you
I am willing to fight for us
But how can I fight someone who isn't even there
I cannot fight for you if you're not present
I've had the rest of you, now I want the best of you
I wanted all of you before, but now I only want the best version of you
I don't care if that's not fair
I don't care if this seems unfair
Cause I want it all or nothing at all
I want everything or nothing from this relationship
There's no where left to fall
There is no more ground to lose
When you reach the bottom it's now or never
We've hit rock bottom and have to make a decision now
Is it all or are we just friends
Are we still in a relationship or just friends?
Is this how it ends with a simple telephone call
Is this really how our relationship ends, with a simple phone call?
You leave me here with nothing at all
You leave me with nothing
There are times it seems to me
Sometimes it feels like
I'm sharing you in memories
You're with me only in my memories
I feel it in my heart but I don't show it, show it
I feel the pain in my heart, but I don't let it show
And then there's times you look at me
Sometimes you look at me
As though I'm all that you can see
As if you only see me in those moments
Those times I don't believe it's right, I know it, know it
I doubt these moments are genuine and question their authenticity
Don't make me promises
Don't make promises you can't keep
Baby you never did know how to keep them well
You were never good at keeping promises
It's time for show and tell
It's time for us to be honest
Cause you and I could lose it all
Our relationship could fail
If you've got no more room, no no
If you have no more love to give me
Inside, for me in your life
If there's no more place for me in your life
Or nothing at all
Either everything or nothing
There's no where left to fall
There is no more ground to lose
When you reach the bottom it's now or never
We've hit rock bottom and have to make a decision now
Is it all or are we just friends
Are we still in a relationship or just friends?
Is this how it ends with a simple telephone call
Is this really how our relationship ends, with a simple phone call?
You leave me here with nothing at all
You leave me with nothing
