Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
What you can
And you just always want
To understand
And I don't want to be
What you fear
So i just look it up
Now it's here
I don't remember so I just look down and slide
And I would like to try
Moccasins
Because I saw you too
We all win
And now i think it's back
Above the knees
I need to see you first
Tell me please
I don't remember so I just look down and slide
And you just say what you need to
And you just be what they tweet you
It's just okay cause you want to
You're by the bae/y and she's blonde too
We all just be the same
We all just be the same
We all just be the same
We all just be the same
I don't remember why
I like that
Cause it just makes her cry
Let's go chat
But i don't want to talk
I'll just go
Cause i can't stand to be
All alone
I don't remember so i just look down and slide
It doesn't matter cause I don't know where to hide
And you just say what you need to
And you just be what they tweet you
It's just okay cause you want to
You're by the bae/y and she's blonde too
We all just be the same
We all just be the same
We all just be the same
We all just be the same
And you just say what you need to
And you just be what they tweet you
It's just okay cause you want to
You're by the bae'y and she's blonde too
We all just be the same
We all just be the same
We all just be the same
We all just be the same

To explore the limits of what is possible
And you just always want
You consistently have a desire

The object of your fear
So I just look it up
Therefore, I simply search for information
Now it's here
Now I have the knowledge or answer

Because I have no recollection, I simply divert my attention and move along
And I would like to try
I am interested in attempting
Moccasins
A type of footwear
Because I saw you too
Because I noticed you as well
We all win
We all achieve success
And now I think it's back
And now I believe it has returned
Above the knees
Higher than the kneecaps
I need to see you first
I require visual contact with you before anything else
Tell me please
Kindly provide me with the requested information
I don't remember so I just look down and slide
Because I cannot recall, I simply avert my gaze and move smoothly
And you just say what you need to
You express only what is necessary
And you just be what they tweet you
You conform to the expectations set by social media messages about you
It's just okay cause you want to
It is considered acceptable because it aligns with your desires
You're by the bae/y and she's blonde too
You are near the significant other and she also has blonde hair
We all just be the same
We all act identically
I don’t remember why
I cannot recall the reason
I like that
I find it enjoyable
Cause it just makes her cry
Because it causes her to shed tears
Let's go chat
Let us engage in conversation
But I don't want to talk
However, I do not wish to communicate verbally
I'll just go
I will simply depart
Cause I can't stand to be
Because I cannot tolerate being
All alone
In solitude
It doesn't matter cause I don't know where to hide
The reason is irrelevant because I am unsure of a suitable place for concealment
