Clover
Latepost Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It might have something to do with my wild life
You get your heart broken, you're not outspoken
Such an introvert
Feel like a hero whose powers went to zero
That I didn't deserve
So I'm taking it back
And I'm getting back my cash
Get a text from a girl that I really was hoping for
She'll forget her coat, my heart will be sold
I'll let her borrow mine
Wait a few days, tomorrow, Thursday
I'll get my coat back in time
So I'm taking it back
And I'm getting back my cash
Well, it was good to talk to you, my friend
It's better than typing away at my phone
I'm getting overwhelmed, I'm going through hell
Tapping out for a bit
I miss her so much, it wasn't real love
I'm not okay with it
So I'm taking it back
And I'm getting back my cash
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

This momentary excitement is tempered by the anticipation of a temporary connection, symbolized by the shared coat. The bittersweet nostalgia for the girl and the realization that their relationship was not genuine love create a sense of longing and unresolved emotions.
In the final repetition of the chorus, the lyrics reinforce the singer's resolve to take back what is theirs and regain their independence.
