We Could Leave
Mansionair Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Not the shape I fit
How'd I get so tongue tied?
So sorry I'm vacant, I'm watching from the sidelines
While all the noise, it holds me still
And I wanna be by your side but I ain't got the patience
Been waiting for you all night
Come and fill the space I fill
But I'm caught up in your guidelines
With all this time left to kill
We don't have to have everything at once
The light upon your figure is pulling on the trigger
We don't have to have everything at once
The light upon your figure
Got me wrapped around your finger
I heard her whispering as I was walking in
It's something I can't fix
Oh, how I'd get so tongue tied?
So sorry I am vacant, been watching from the sidelines
While all the noise, it holds me still
We don't have to have everything at once
The light upon your figure is pulling on the trigger
We don't have to have everything at once
The light upon your figure
Has got me wrapped around your finger
It's pulling on the trigger
It's pulling on the trigger
I'm wrapped around your finger
Wrapped around your finger
Pulling on the trigger
It's pulling on the trigger (We don't have to have everything at once)
It's pulling on the trigger (We don't have to have everything at once)
It's pulling on the trigger
It's pulling on the trigger
The lyrics of Mansionair's song "We Could Leave" portray a sense of vulnerability and hesitation towards a romantic relationship. The opening line, "I'm only flickering, it's just a phase I'm in," suggests a state of insecurity and uncertainty in the singer's mind. They feel like they don't fit in with their partner or the society around them. They also feel tongue-tied and can't express themselves properly. The chorus repeats the idea that the singer doesn't have everything figured out and doesn't need everything at once. They just want to be with their partner and enjoy the moment. However, the second verse adds a layer of complexity to the story. The singer hears their partner whispering something they can't fix, which indicates an underlying issue in the relationship or their partner's life.
Overall, "We Could Leave" is a melancholic and introspective song that delves into the complexities of human relationships. It beautifully captures the feeling of being lost and directionless, while also offering a glimmer of hope and connection.

I'm feeling unstable and unsteady at the moment but I know it won't last forever
Not the shape I fit
I'm feeling out of place and not quite like myself
How'd I get so tongue tied?
I'm feeling nervous and struggling to express myself clearly
So sorry I'm vacant, I'm watching from the sidelines
I apologize for being absent and not fully engaging
While all the noise, it holds me still
I am paralyzed and unable to move forward with all the distractions around me
And I wanna be by your side but I ain't got the patience
I desire to be close to you but I lack the ability to wait for it
Been waiting for you all night
I have been anticipating your presence for a long time
Come and fill the space I fill
Join me and fill the emptiness inside me
We could leave and grace the night lights 'fore everybody vacates
Let's escape together and enjoy the nightlife before everybody else leaves
But I'm caught up in your guidelines
I'm feeling trapped and limited by your expectations
With all this time left to kill
There's so much time to spend together and enjoy each other's company
We don't have to have everything at once
We don't need to rush to have everything all at once
The light upon your figure is pulling on the trigger
Your presence and beauty are captivating and making me fall for you
Got me wrapped around your finger
I'm under your spell and completely drawn to you
I heard her whispering as I was walking in
I overheard her talking as I entered the room
It's something I can't fix
I know there are some things that cannot be solved or changed
Oh, how I'd get so tongue tied?
I often become speechless and nervous around you
It's pulling on the trigger
Your beauty and charm are irresistibly drawing me closer to you
I'm wrapped around your finger
I'm completely under your influence and can't resist you
Pulling on the trigger
Your pull on me is too strong to resist

You're one of the bands I feel possessive about and only share with close friends or people who seem to be the kind that would really understand how amazing you guys are. Adore all your songs. Please never stop.
