Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

You know I'm bad at communication, it's the hardest thing for me to do
And it's said, it's the most important part that relationships go through
And I give it all away just so I could say that
I know, I know, I know, I know that you're gonna be okay anyway

You know there's no rhyme or reason for the way you turned out to be
I didn't go and try to change my mind, not intentionally
I know it's hard to hear me say it but I can't bear to stay and

I just know, I know, I know, I know, that you're gonna be okay anyway

Always keep your heart locked tight, don't let your mind retire, oh
But I just couldn't take it, I tried hard not to fake it
But I fumbled and when it came down to the wire
It felt right, it felt right, oh
But I fumbled it when it came down to the wire
It felt right, it felt right, oh
But I fumbled it when it came down to the wire, huh

Know you use your imagination, try to make it what you want it to be
Because I'm sorry I did what I did, but it came naturally
And I gave it all away just so I could say that
Well I know, I know, I know, I know that you're gonna be okay anyway

When I tried to keep myself together, after all the opportunities
I try to stay true to you and try to do what you wanted from me
And I'd give it all away just to hear you say that
Well I know, I know, I know, I know that you're gonna be okay anyway

Always keep your heart locked tight, don't let your mind retire, oh
But I just couldn't take it, I tried hard not to fake it
But I fumbled it when it came down to the wire
It felt right, it felt right, oh
But I fumbled it when it came down to the wire
It felt right, it felt right, oh

But I fumbled it when it came down to the wire, huh
Ooh yeah

Always keep your heart locked tight, don't let your mind retire
Always keep your heart locked tight, don't let your mind retire, oh
But I just couldn't take it, I tried hard not to fake it
But I fumbled it when I came down to the wire
But I just couldn't take it, I tried hard not to fake it
But I fumbled it when I came down to the wire
It felt great, it felt right, oh
But I fumbled it when I came down to the wire
It felt great, it felt right, oh
But I fumbled it when I came down to the wire
It felt great, it felt right, oh

Ooh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
No no, no, no

Line by Line Meaning

You know I'm bad at communication, it's the hardest thing for me to do
I struggle with conveying my feelings and thoughts and it's one of the biggest challenges for me

And it's said, it's the most important part that relationships go through
People say that communication is the most essential part of any relationship

And I give it all away just so I could say that
Sometimes, I overshare in order to express myself or feel heard

I know, I know, I know, I know that you're gonna be okay anyway
Despite my communication shortcomings, I trust that you'll be okay without my input

You know there's no rhyme or reason for the way you turned out to be
I recognize that there's no explanation for who you are

I didn't go and try to change my mind, not intentionally
I didn't purposely try to change my opinion or perception

I know it's hard to hear me say it but I can't bear to stay and
It's tough for me to admit, but I can't deal with staying in this situation

Always keep your heart locked tight, don't let your mind retire, oh
It's important to hold onto your emotions and not let your mind give up

But I just couldn't take it, I tried hard not to fake it
I attempted to be genuine, but I couldn't handle it

But I fumbled and when it came down to the wire
But when it was time to decide, I made a mistake

It felt right, it felt right, oh
At the time, it seemed like the right thing to do

Know you use your imagination, try to make it what you want it to be
You tend to imagine situations the way you want them to be

Because I'm sorry I did what I did, but it came naturally
I apologize for my actions, but they seemed like the natural thing to do at the time

When I tried to keep myself together, after all the opportunities
Once I tried to hold myself together despite the chances I had to leave

I try to stay true to you and try to do what you wanted from me
I attempted to stay faithful and do what you expected of me

It felt great, it felt right, oh
It seemed wonderful and perfect in the moment

No no, no, no
A negative response, indicating disagreement

Does your imagination try to make you what you wanted to be?
Because I'm sorry I do what I did, but it came naturally

What sets Haim apart from other groups is not that they are female or that they are sisters; it is the fact they can resonate a fresh and original sound that has an original beat and is complimented by excellent vocals w/ tremendous range! Very few groups have this quality!

@feitocomfruta

3y↑7

I hear influences of other artists and styles that I enjoy, but it’s the combination of the styles that makes them fun and unique. For example with this song, I hear Sara Bareilles in the vocals, Wilson Phillips in the spirit, and Rod Stewart in the instrumental. So very alto-leading, girl group influenced, 80s synth pop-rock.

I didn’t listen to HAIM before August 9 (LA Eras Tour, closing night), so that’s how I discovered it 😂 I had it forced on me, they were one of the two opening acts (and they’re also one of the bestest friends of my fave, Taylor, but I previously didn’t see that as a reason to listen to HAIM 🫣).

Hearing it live was amazing. It was my first ever concert too. Listening to it now, on my phone, I really do prefer it in-person. Every musical beat, beating everywhere in your body ‘cause it’s so LOUD.

And I do have to emphasize how LOUD it is in a stadium !!!! even earplugs for an 80%-deaf girl like me wasn’t totally enough. But it helped immensely and made it tolerable. (Guys, bring your noise-canceling headphones TOO, don’t just bring only the premium quality earplugs. The people that I saw, didn’t wear headphones, so I assume everyone just wears earplugs. I was often worried for everyone, even though everyone was having the absolute time of their lives).

Honestly, I never heard of them until SNL, but I think they're absolutely fantastic. I immediately bought their CD the next day. It's so refreshing to see real musicians in a day when we are force-fed other studio-contrived garbage music from TV talent shows.

refreshing to see a music video about men going through heartache when all we see nowadays is women "overreacting" over a lost relationship.

@Sunriser

11y↑46

Refreshing that girls can joke about themselves overreacting by breakups and using Boys as a sort of mirror for that.

@Anttonina

11y↑74

Ezraielor seidl look, let's be real, have you ever seen a music video like this before? when a girl acts this way, she's a bitch. when a guy acts this way, he's a boss. what i meant is that the media overdramatizes the idea that women shouldn't be so miserable due to heartache, when in reality everyone is like this, even guys.

@spinypants9

Anttonina lol had nothing to say now. Nice work Anttonina

@joshguzek3054

Thats because women always overreact over a lost relationship :/ and they get away with any damage they do to the guy

@stefy1524

11y↑14

The damage is the same for both genders, the difference is on the intensity of the relationship, feelings, and etc. basically how fond and depended you become for whom seems to be your other half and be completely happy.

Loved this song long before I knew what it was about. But anyone who has felt unrequited love should listen to it, to remember the other side of the story that to you seems a tragedy. If you have ever seen through the other side of the looking glass, you will understand the ecstacy of having the courage to realize your own need for liberty and personal happiness. You don't wish to cause inevitable suffering to someone who mistakenly believes you are crucial to their own contentment, but trying in futility to avoid this pain of life for them is not worth your peace of mind.

I was heartbroken when I first discovered about this song in 2016. And I must say that it was the most important heartbreak I had in my life because I get to know the music of Haim. And now in 2020, had moved one with that lost love but my love for Haim only gets deeper.

to the critics: there ain't nothing new under the sun... gotta do it well, and these ladies do. the clean snaps, claps and sounds they reference to MJ at times... i believe HAIM will indeed go far and we need more to follow. 80's sound and style, welcome back :)

I like how so many people are getting offended by how they dump the guys and they're heartbroken over it, when guys are usually portrayed as treating girls that way and it's fine... Calm down, and enjoy the music. And if you don't like it, just a bit of advice, you don't have to listen to it! Yayyyy :D
