Some Other Day
Flick Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I was wondering if you were still awake
And I, I called you up, got scared and hung up
And I'm not sure if I can understand the pain
That held you back, that held you back, oh
Take me away
I feel okay
Come back some other day
Smile, if only for a little while
Please smile, from the start you've played the part
Your smile, I gave you the heart you're tearing apart
Your smile, took me in but it's no friend

Take me away
I feel okay
Come back some other day

Take me away
I feel okay
Come back some other day

But can't you see
You're taking it out
You're taking it out on me

I was wondering if you were still awake
And I wasn't the one who held you back

Take me away
I feel okay
Come back some other day

Take me away
I fell okay
Come back some other day
Take me away
I feel okay
Come back some other day

Take me away




I feel okay
Come back some other day

Line by Line Meaning

I was wondering if you were still awake
I couldn't stop thinking about you and whether or not you were still up


And I, I called you up, got scared and hung up
I tried to call you but got too nervous and hung up before you could answer


And I'm not sure if I can understand the pain
I'm not sure if I can comprehend the hurt you're going through


That held you back, that held you back, oh
The pain that's been holding you down for so long


Take me away
Help me escape from reality


I feel okay
I'm trying to convince myself that everything is fine


Come back some other day
Let's deal with this whole mess at a later time


Smile, if only for a little while
Fake a smile, just to make things easier


Please smile, from the start you've played the part
You're good at pretending everything is okay from the beginning


Your smile, I gave you the heart you're tearing apart
I trusted you with my heart, but you're breaking it with your act


Your smile, took me in but it's no friend
Your fake smile fooled me, but it's not a true friend


But can't you see
Why can't you understand


You're taking it out
You're venting your frustrations on me


You're taking it out on me
You're using me as a release for your pain


And I wasn't the one who held you back
I'm not the one responsible for your struggles


Take me away
Please let me escape this situation


I fell okay
I'm trying to convince myself that everything is fine, even though it's not


Come back some other day
We need to deal with this later when things aren't so overwhelming
