Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Not as warm as it seemed
Hope you found some of that space
That you seem to really need
Anyways
How does it feel now?
Knowing that you won't see me
Till I fly back to you cause
Come to see me
Don't say you need me, life or death
When you'd rather live two thousand
Miles away from here
I don't feel the way you're feeling
When you say we hit a ceiling
Don't say you're freezing in our bed
Cause you'll never know how bad
It feels to be alone
Not welcome home
I feel rearranged
So temporary
Short-term
A change of pace
It's like you died of boredom
Shipped me off like all the others
Ten months in, you blew your cover
I can't re-explain
You never hear me
I'm lost like a new stray
Empty house with a roommate
Cause we can't split the rent with you living so far
I split it with them but still don't have a car
So I go nowhere
And you say that's fine
That we don't need to share every second and minute
Like I'm a waste of time
I feel rearranged
So temporary
Short-term
A change of pace
It's like you died of boredom
Shipped me off like all the others
Ten months in, you blew your cover
I can't re-explain
You never hear me
Shipped me off like all the others
Ten months in, you blew your cover
I'll be gone, you tell your mother
You needed the space
Don't say you need me, life or death
When you'd rather live two thousand
Miles away from here
I don't feel the way you're feeling
When you say we hit a ceiling

I can't re-explain
I am unable to clarify again
You never hear me
You never truly listen to me
I'm lost like a new stray
I am bewildered and adrift, like a recently abandoned animal
Empty house with a roommate
An unoccupied house shared with a housemate
Cause we can't split the rent with you living so far
Because it is not feasible to divide the rent with you residing at such a distance
I split it with them but still don't have a car
I share the rent with them but still lack a vehicle
So I go nowhere
Consequently, I am unable to travel or move anywhere
And you say that's fine
You declare that this situation is acceptable
That we don't need to share every second and minute
We do not require to share every single moment
Like I'm a waste of time
As if I am a pointless utilization of time
Shipped me off like all the others
Sent me away like previous individuals
Ten months in, you blew your cover
After ten months, your true intentions or motives were revealed
I'll be gone, you tell your mother
I will be absent, as you inform your mother
You needed the space
You required the personal freedom and distance
Don't say you need me, life or death
Do not claim that you require me to the extent of life or death
When you'd rather live two thousand
Despite preferring to reside two thousand
Miles away from here
Miles away from this place
I don't feel the way you're feeling
My emotions do not align with yours
When you say we hit a ceiling
When you assert that our relationship has reached its limit
