Carpet
Frenship Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And these feelings get a little bit old
On the cusp of getting it right
But it never is black and white, and white, no
She gave me the time when shit got rough
A little more time could've been enough for us
She says to me on the carpet floor
Stretch yourself thin
So I can be with you once again
Before I have to run
And leave these bars of one
I'm reaching for what I can't see
But the quiet still gets to me
I swallow, had I known it's worth
Love seldom and that's why it hurts
She gave me the time when shit got rough
A little more time could've been enough for us
"Do more"
She says to me on the carpet floor
Stretch yourself thin
So I can be with you once again
Before I have to run
And leave these bars of one
She gave me the time when shit got rough
A little more time could've been enough
I ran out of time and lost my luck
A little more time could've been enough for us
"Do more"
She says to me on the carpet floor
Stretch yourself thin
So I can be with you once again
Before I have to run
And leave these bars of one
Before I have to run
And leave these bars of one
I said it's not even
You ended up just leaving
Me and your feelings
Lying on the carpet floor
It's not that even
You ended up just leaving
Me and your feelings
Lying on the carpet floor
The song “Carpet” by Frenship is a heartfelt ballad about a relationship that has ended in heartbreak, with the singer reflecting on what went wrong and what could have been done better. The repeated line “Do more” represents the expectations placed on the singer by their partner, who wants them to stretch themselves thin in order to keep the relationship alive. However, despite the singer’s attempts to give the relationship their all, they still end up alone, lying on the carpet floor with nothing but their regrets.
One of the key themes of the song is the idea of “living with ‘I told you so,’” or the regret that comes from knowing what could have been done differently but being unable to change the past. The singer sings about being “on the cusp of getting it right” and feeling frustrated that things are never black and white, but the reality is that they didn’t act in time to save the relationship. The sense of loss and heartbreak is palpable throughout the song, with lyrics like “Love seldom and that’s why it hurts” emphasizing the bittersweet nature of relationships.
Another important element of “Carpet” is the use of repetition and parallel structure to emphasize the singer’s feelings of regret and longing. The repeated lines “She gave me the time when shit got rough / A little more time could’ve been enough for us” and “Before I have to run / And leave these bars of one” drive home the idea that the singer wishes they could have done more to save the relationship. The use of the phrase “bars of one” also gives a sense of confinement and isolation, highlighting the fact that the singer is now alone and cut off from their former partner.

I'm living with "I told you so"
I constantly hear "I told you so" from others and it's getting tiring
And these feelings get a little bit old
The negative feelings I have about myself are also getting tiring
On the cusp of getting it right
I'm almost successful in my endeavors
But it never is black and white, and white, no
Success and failure are not straightforward, there are gray areas
She gave me the time when shit got rough
My partner supported me during tough times
A little more time could've been enough for us
If we had more time together, our relationship could have been saved
"Do more"
She asks me to put in more effort
She says to me on the carpet floor
She is having a conversation with me while we sit on the floor
Stretch yourself thin
She wants me to give more than I feel capable of giving
So I can be with you once again
She wants our relationship to return to what it was before
Before I have to run
She doesn't want to leave quickly or abruptly
And leave these bars of one
She doesn't want to be alone after the relationship ends
I'm reaching for what I can't see
I'm pursuing something that may not exist
But the quiet still gets to me
Even though I'm busy, silence and loneliness can still affect me
I swallow, had I known it's worth
I regret not realizing the value of love sooner
Love seldom and that's why it hurts
Because love is rare, it's more painful when it ends
I ran out of time and lost my luck
I didn't have enough time and things didn't go my way
It's not that even
The relationship wasn't balanced or fair
You ended up just leaving
My partner ended the relationship despite my efforts to save it
Me and your feelings
My partner left me with my own emotions and regrets
Lying on the carpet floor
The conversation about the end of our relationship takes place on the floor
