Antonio Carlos Jobim
Heatmiser Lyrics

Why are you here?
Asking why the person is present in the situation.

Couldn't you tell him?
Questioning if the person had the ability to communicate effectively with another person involved in the situation.

Were you afraid he'd hear?
Asking if fear was the reason why the person did not say something.

You should have been thankful to be alone
Expressing that being alone would have been beneficial in this situation.

You took off your shoes
Describing an action that was done in the situation.

Said anything further would be bad news
Stating that continuing conversation may have led to negative consequences.

'Cause you'd already started to disappear
Indicating that the person was beginning to leave the situation emotionally or physically.

And he couldn't complain
Noting that the other person involved in the situation did not express dissatisfaction or opposition.

Just looked at your lyric and crossed over to play
Describing an action that the other person involved in the situation did.

A record of quiet instrumentals
Describing the type of music that was played in the situation.

And I like what you wrote
Expressing approval and enjoyment of something that the person said or wrote.

This is a record full of sour notes
Stating that the record being played had an unpleasant sound or tune.

But don't say you mean it when you know you don't
Admonishing the person to not claim to understand or agree with something when they do not.

You should have been thankful to be alone, you know
Repeating the sentiment that being alone would have been beneficial in this situation.

You should have been thankful to be alone, you know
Repeating the sentiment that being alone would have been beneficial in this situation.

You should have been thankful to be alone
Reiterating the idea that being alone would have been advantageous in the situation.
