Unusual
Kevin McCullough Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

the day we met you told me everything
your life story and your history
but when we said goodbye
you said it was all a lie
and you made it up as you went along
no name but you wrote your number on my arm

your so unusual
something turns me on about your usual ways
your so unusual
something makes me wanna make me
use you always
but do you wanna use me?

you read the paper
but you hate the news
you won't go shopping
cuz you hate to choose
sophisticated cute
your breaking all the rules
and it only makes me wanna know you more
but I've never felt quite this insecure

your so unusual
something turns me on about your usual ways
your so unusual
something makes me wanna make me use you always
but do you wanna use me?

well I might be a parachute cuz
I'm falling faster over you
well I'm trying to figure out why
I like it when you shut down
knock knock I've been waiting here,
so come on come on just make it clear
if you want me to play it cool
I'll play it cool

your so unusual ...unusual

your so unusual
something turns me on about your usual ways
your so unusual




something makes me wanna make me use you always
but do you wanna use me?

The lyric "I might be a parachute cuz I'm falling faster over you" paints a picture of the singer falling hard and fast for this person, but also feeling like they might crash and burn. They feel insecure and unsure of the other person's intentions, wondering if they are being used.
