Brooklyn
Fickle Friends Lyrics

I wake up with worry
The singer wakes up feeling concerned.

Nothing fills me up
The singer feels unfulfilled.

He follows me daily
The singer is in love with someone who is always on their mind.

He knows how to love
The object of the artist's affections is a skilled and attentive lover.

No true end inside me
The artist doesn't feel like there is a clear resolution to their feelings.

I won't ever say it enough
The singer feels like they can never express their feelings enough.

You're a Brooklyn baby
The object of the singer's affection is from Brooklyn and has a certain quality that the singer likes.

I know what can rule me
The artist is aware of what can control them emotionally.

Sink me with the sand
The artist can be weighed down emotionally.

Oh, I can be the warden
The artist can be controlling in relationships.

And I will never crave it
The singer doesn't need to be in control of their relationship to be happy.

You are someone else
The object of the artist's affection is not who they thought they were.

There's something I can't define
The singer can't quite put their finger on what is different about their loved one.

You are not mine
The singer feels like they don't have a strong hold on their loved one.

Worrying in my head
The singer is worried and anxious about their relationship.

That's what she said
The artist is quoting someone else who also expressed their worry.

You are like the honey
The artist has very strong feelings for their loved one.

I am not allowed
The singer doesn't feel like they can fully express their feelings.

Oh, I won't go without
The singer will not give up on their love.

Show me in a movie
The artist wants to see a story similar to theirs in a movie.

You can tell me what you're about
The artist wants their loved one to open up and share their true self.

Oh, I'm in Brooklyn baby
The artist is metaphorically in Brooklyn, in the same emotional space as their loved one.

I'm a long way out
The singer feels like they're far from experiencing a resolution to their emotions.

Swear I go
The artist is trying to convince themselves they can move on.

Does he know
The singer is concerned if their loved one knows how they feel.

That we're different, I
The singer feels like there are fundamental differences between them and their loved one.

And I still say
The singer continues to reassure themselves.

Each new day
The artist is taking it one day at a time.

I got this one
The artist feels like they can handle this challenge.

You are someone else
Reiteration that the singer feels like their loved one is different than they thought.

You, you, you are not my
The singer is running out of ways to say that their loved one is not what they thought they were.
