Can't Wait to Be Dead
FINNEAS Lyrics

Somebody's drivin' you home
You are being driven home by someone you don't know.

But they don't know who you are
The driver does not know who you are.

You're in the back of the car
You are sitting in the backseat of the car.

Somebody's tryin' to help
Someone is trying to assist.

And makin' everything worse
Their attempt to help is only making things worse.

Somebody please call the nurse
You need medical attention, so someone should call a nurse.

Somebody's ripping you off
Someone is attempting to scam you.

Tryin' to sell you good news
They are attempting to sell you something that is not true or beneficial.

You know we're still gonna lose
You acknowledge that the situation will ultimately end in defeat or failure.

But I need to be where you are
You need to be with someone, regardless of the circumstances.

For no reason at all
There is no logical reason or purpose for this desire.

Or else I'll suffer withdrawal
If you're not with this person, you'll experience withdrawal symptoms.

Nobody's comin' to save me
No one is going to help or rescue you.

Nobody knows any better, anyway
No one has the knowledge or understanding to offer superior assistance.

I think we're thinkin' the same thing
You suspect that someone else shares your current thoughts or feelings.

If this is how it ends, I wasn't listenin'
If the situation ultimately ends in failure or defeat, it will not be because of your lack of effort or attention.

Somebody's screamin' again
Someone nearby is screaming.

Another sunburn with hair
The person is likely sunburned, with visible hair.

It's too much fun not to stare
You find it amusing to stare at the person who is screaming or sunburned.

Somebody's callin' you out
Someone is falsely accusing you of something.

For somethin' you never said
They are accusing you of a statement or action that you did not make.

Kinda can't wait to be dead
You feel like you can't handle the situation anymore, and would rather be dead than alive.

Somebody's wasting my time
Someone is wasting your time or attempting to distract you.

Fuck your Confederate flag
You have a disdain for a symbol of oppression or racism.

You've got no reason to brag
The person has no logical reason or justification for boasting or being prideful.

To you
Addressing someone directly.

I wasn't listenin' yet
You were not paying attention or fully engaged in the conversation or situation.

Not even gone, but you'll be missin' me yet
Although you haven't left yet, you believe that someone will miss you when you're gone.

I wasn't listenin' yet
Reiteration of not paying attention or being fully present in the moment.

I wasn't listenin'
Final statement reinforcing lack of attention or focus.
