Junior Boys Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

This is barely a word
If I can hold on to a page
And if I don't, will pass soon
You might forget it again

And you're so careful with the terms
But they slipped in your hands
'Cause you wrote 'Love' and I know you mean it
Yeah, you wrote 'Love' and I know you mean it

And do you hold on to it too?
And do you curse the way I go
Is every new street that you move to
Just an empty road

Well, I don't care about the past
And if we made a mistake then I wanna repeat it
'Cause it's not gone and I wanna repeat it

It's just a second of your time
Gone like a casual sign
Just to know I'll never shake it off so easily
I'll never shake it off, shake it off in time

And if you're staring at the screen
Still deciding how to say what you mean, yeah you can
All the things that you mean, yes, you can

But should I try to put it off?
'Cause when I try to be cool, well, I just can't fake it
I'm making things worse when I just can't fake it

But if you wanted me to stop
You never say the things you do
Up, in the middle of the night, yeah

'Cause you know just what it leads to
That I can never hold my tongue
'Cause I love you so bad and I wanna repeat it
I love you so bad now I'm gonna repeat it

I love you so bad and I wanna repeat it
I love you so bad and I wanna repeat it
I love you too bad 'cause I'm gonna repeat it
I love you so bad and I'm gonna repeat it

I love you so bad and I wanna repeat it
I love you so bad and I wanna repeat it
I love you too bad 'cause I'm gonna repeat it
I love you so bad, so bad

It's just a second of your time
Gone like a casual sign
Just to know you'll never shake it off so easily

Come on, now, baby, don't deny it
I see your eyes and now I'll prove it
'Cause we know we'll never shake this off and why should we?
It's a dream

You don't need to change nothing at all
There's no [Incomprehensible]




Time could change nothing at all
There's no [Incomprehensible]

Overall Meaning

The Junior Boys song "EP" revolves around the idea of needing to repeat something, namely the phrase "I love you so bad." The lyrics illustrate a sense of urgency and desperation in the singer's need to verbalize their love for the other person. It seems as though the person they are addressing is hesitant, having to carefully choose their words in response. Yet, the singer is so overcome with love that they cannot help but blurt the phrase out over and over again, even if it makes the situation worse.


The song seems to be about the inability to control one's emotions, specifically, one's love for someone else. The repetition of "I love you so bad" emphasizes the uncontainable nature of this love, as the singer claims they simply cannot hold it back, no matter how hard they try. In contrast, the other person seems more reserved and hesitant, potentially causing frustration for the singer who desires a more open and honest communication style.


Overall, "EP" is a song about the power of love and the emotions it can evoke. The repetition of the chorus emphasizes the need to express these feelings, even if it risks making things more difficult or complicated.


Line by Line Meaning

This is barely a word
The feeling expressed is beyond words and difficult to label


If I can hold on to a page

But they slipped in your hands
Despite your precision, your words may fail to capture the exact feeling


'Cause you wrote 'Love' and I know you mean it
Even though certain words may not be sufficient, the use of 'Love' conveys sincerity


And do you hold on to it too?
Do you also struggle to convey and retain this feeling?


And do you curse the way I go
Are you frustrated with my approach to capturing this feeling?


Is every new street that you move to
Each attempt to capture this feeling is like moving to a new location


Just an empty road
These attempts may lead to nowhere


Well, I don't care about the past

Take your time to craft the message you want to express


All the things that you mean, yes, you can
You have the power to express all that you intend to convey


But should I try to put it off?
Is it better to delay recording this feeling?


'Cause when I try to be cool, well, I just can't fake it
Trying to be restrained when recording this feeling is futile


I'm making things worse when I just can't fake it
Trying to suppress the feeling only makes things more difficult

If you want me to stop pursuing this feeling

Up, in the middle of the night, yeah
This feeling can arise at any time, even in the middle of the night


'Cause you know just what it leads to
You are aware of the possible consequences of pursuing this feeling

There is no need for explanation


Time could change nothing at all
The intensity of these feelings will not fade with time


There's no [Incomprehensible]
There is no need for explanation
