Glass Animals Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Now can we place a bet
You love collect calls inside of your cigarettes
I still wonder why you can't seem
To get it yet
If we go half then maybe we can spend another night
Another day another chance for us to get right
Inside these walls we watch the tables turn
And watch my navel yearn
There are things that I expect you know
How you gone plant a whole seed and not expect it to grow?
We just smoking too much weed
I'm still expecting to blow
Let's take a walk
Don't forget your key baby
Let's say a prayer
Come on get down on your knees baby
[Hook]
Please A-ha x3
Don't get up x3
Please A-ha x3
[Verse 2: Jean Deaux]
There's no doubt
You know I want this
Just as much as you
What if you lyin
Then I'm just stuck here like a fuckin fool
I'll still be stuck even if
This is the fuckin truth
You say I'm running from my problems
But there's no other way
If you decide to keep it
I don't know if I'mma stay
My shoulders dislocating
Breaking under all is weight
I'm just thinkin bout your lateness
It's a bad time
I want to be situated before I have mine
Lets talk a walk
Don't forget your key baby
Let's say a prayer
Come on get down on your knees
Baby
[Second Hook]
Come on get down on your knees baby
(Please A-ha x3
Don't get up x3
Please A-ha x3
Please A-ha x3
Don't get up x3)
The song "Woozy" by Glass Animals, featuring Jean Deaux, explores the complexity of a relationship between two people who are struggling to communicate their feelings. In the first verse, Jean Deaux challenges her partner to place a bet on whether he loves collect calls inside of his cigarettes. She wonders why he can't seem to understand her perspective. They both long for another chance to get things right, but the tables keep turning, and they are stuck in a rut. Jean Deaux questions how he can plant a seed and not expect it to grow. Despite their disagreements, they share a joint and decide to take a walk and say a prayer together.
In the second verse, Jean Deaux admits that she wants the relationship to work but worries that her partner may be lying. She feels stuck and unsure of whether she should stay or leave. She feels the weight of her own problems and her partner's lateness on her shoulders. She wants to be situated before she has to face the consequences of her decisions. They again take a walk and say a prayer together, hoping that they will find a way to work things out.
The song's chorus features Jean Deaux pleading for her partner to stay with her and not get up. The repetition of "Please A-ha" emphasizes the emotional intensity of the situation.

You love collect calls inside of your cigarettes
You smoke so much that you're practically inhaling a phone call
I still wonder why you can't seem to get it yet
I'm confused why you don't understand
If we go half then maybe we can spend another night
If we split the cost, we can stay together another night
Another day another chance for us to get right
We have another day to try to improve our relationship
Inside these walls we watch the tables turn
Our relationship is changing
You say I should've had a mother and watch my navel yearn
You think I have unresolved issues from not having a mother figure
There are things that I expect you know
I assume you're aware of certain things
How you gone plant a whole seed and not expect it to grow?
How can you put effort into something and not hope for it to flourish?
We just smoking too much weed
We're using marijuana excessively
I'm still expecting to blow
I still anticipate success and fame
Let's take a walk
Let's go for a walk

I'll still be stuck, even if this is the truth
You say I'm running from my problems
You think I'm avoiding my issues
But there's no other way
I don't see any other options
If you decide to keep it
If you choose to keep the truth from me
I don't know if I'mma stay
I'm not sure if I'll still be here
My shoulders dislocating
I'm under a lot of pressure
Breaking under all is weight
Cracking under the pressure
I'm just thinkin bout your lateness
I'm concerned about how long it's taking you to be honest with me
It's a bad time
This is not an ideal situation
I want to be situated before I have mine
I want to have things in order before I have children
Come on get down on your knees baby
Please kneel down with me
