killing me
Jack and the Weatherman Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Don't stop now baby just keep on walking.
You keep foolin' around treating me like your clown,
I kept my composure, kept believing.
And it's true, you fancy me, like the guy who's always there for you.
Now I'm through, find someone new,
I wish that you'd find someone new.
Are you kidding me?
Are you kidding me?
I keep giving you the signals but you just don't see,
That you're killing me,
That you're killing me,
I keep giving you the signals but you just don't see,
And you, and me, head out for the city lights,
Maybe this could be the night.
That we, that we're gonna get it right,
Probably not because.
We, are, stand, ding, at, the, bar, ha, ving, a, good, time,
Laughing, joking, and foolin' around.
All the sudden,
This guy comes up to you,
Ignores me, and starts to talk to you,
Grabs your hand, than you go dancing,
On the dance floor you start kissing.
And I'm looking at you; yeah I'm looking at you.
Tell me what am I suppose to do.
Are you kidding me?
Are you kidding me?
I keep giving you the signals but you just don't see,
That you're killing me,
That you're killing me,
I keep giving you the signals but you just don't see,
And maybe we've gone just a little to far,
Maybe I should just not see you anymore.
And maybe we've known each other too long,
Won't you tell me babe, cause I'm confused.
And maybe we've gone just a little to far,
Maybe I should just not see you anymore.
And maybe we've known each other too long,
Are you kidding me?
Are you kidding me?
I keep giving you the signals but you just don't see,
That you're killing me,
That you're killing me,
I keep giving you the signals but you just don't see,
Are you kidding me,
Are you kidding me,
Are you kidding me,
Are you kidding me,
Girl your killing me.
Girl your killing me.
Girl your killing me.
Girl your killing me.
The lyrics to "Killing Me" by Jack and the Weatherman is a song about a guy who is tired of being treated badly by his lover. He is asking for her to stop playing games with his emotions and to stop taking him for granted. He feels like he has given her all the signals, but she just doesn't seem to understand how much she's hurting him. The song implies that while there might have been a chance for a reconciliation between the two, this possibility has all but vanished, and the relationship has gone too far.
The lyrics are very relatable and speak to anyone who has been in an unhealthy relationship. The singer tries to keep his composure and believes that the person he loves will eventually come around. As the song progresses, he realizes that he is kidding himself and decides to move on. He knows he deserves better and wishes that she could find someone new who can love her better than he can.
