Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When I'm down, I get real down
When I'm high, I don't come down
And I get angry, baby, believe me
I could love you just like that
And I could leave you just this fast
But you don't judge me
I would judge you too
See, you don't judge me
'Cause if you did, baby
I would judge you too
See I got issues you got 'em too
So give 'em all to me
And I'll give mine to you bask in the glory
Of all our problems
'Cause we got the kind of love
It takes to solve 'em
See, I got issues
And one of them is how bad I need you
You do shit on purpose
You get mad and you break things
Feel bad, try to fix things
But you're perfect poorly wired circuit
