Procrastination
Mallwalker Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
With anything else, I wouldn't even care
I have to say it's all a bit confusing to me
And for some reason I can't seem to just leave it there
I'd normally just get up and go do something else
I'm usually as lazy as can be
We're living in a procrastination generation
And nobody does it better than me
'Cause I can't win when I'm always having doubts
And hey now, don't go thinking that I don't like you
I just need to sit down and figure this shit out
I really hope that it's alright
To let you know that you've kept me up at night
And I don't even know what I'm talking about
And I'm talking to myself just to reassure my doubts
Every time I think about you, I just start to cry
I don't remember the last day I didn't have you on my mind
And soon on a cold, dark night
I hope that I can look up at you and you'll be looking back at me with arms wide open
I need you to find me
I need you beside me
You can't be a memory
Just stuck there behind me
I hope that it's not all in my head
And you're actually hearing the words that I've said
Would it scare you to say you love me just a little less
'Cause I can't win when I'm always having doubts
And hey now, don't go thinking that I don't like you
I just need to sit down and figure this shit out
Would it scare you to say you love me just a little less
'Cause I can't win when I'm always having doubts
And hey now, don't go thinking that I don't like you
I just need to sit down and figure this shit out

Would it cause you fear to admit a slightly diminished affection towards me

And hey now, don't go thinking that I don't like you
And hey, please do not assume that I do not have fondness for you
I just need to sit down and figure this shit out
I just need some time to contemplate and resolve these issues
