Let Down
Michigander Lyrics

You're a concept
You and our potential relationship are a mere idea or abstract notion at this point.

Worth exploring
This idea is intriguing and potentially valuable enough to be further investigated or developed.

Never nervous, never boring
I am excited about the prospect of pursuing a relationship with you and don't feel apprehensive or uninterested about it.

I don't wanna mess it up
I am afraid of doing or saying something that may negatively impact our developing relationship.

No, I don't wanna mess it up
I am emphasizing the importance of not making a mistake or taking the wrong action when it comes to you and our relationship.

Cross the state line to the morning
Metaphorically, I am willing to go through the journey or challenges of being in a relationship with you until we reach a brighter future together.

Little tired, little swerving
I am already feeling the fatigue and uncertainty that comes with navigating a new relationship.

'Cause I got high hopes, I got high hopes
I am optimistic about what the future may hold for us and have great expectations for our relationship.

But they let me down, they usually let me down
However, in the past, my high hopes and expectations haven't been met and I fear the same may happen again.

Well I feel like I've known you
Despite only recently being introduced, it already feels like I am familiar with you and our connection.

Even though I've only met you
I am acknowledging the short amount of time we have known each other, but also acknowledging the strength of the connection I feel for you.

I don't wanna mess it up
Repetition of earlier sentiment emphasizing the importance of not mishandling our relationship.

I'm probably gonna mess it up
Despite my best intentions, I fear that my own mistakes or shortcomings may ultimately damage our relationship.

Yeah you're walking down the stairs on a Wednesday night
A specific memory or moment that further cements the idea of our relationship and serves as a possible defining moment in our journey together.

Sure, it's kinda cold but I feel alright
The physical environment or conditions around us may not be perfect, but I still feel good and hopeful about where things are between us.

'Cause I got you in the front seat
Metaphor for having you in my life and being in the driver's seat of this relationship, where I have some control but also responsibility.

And you keep on looking at me
Your attention and affection towards me confirms and encourages the feelings I have for you.

Love, love, yeah love
A general reference to the power and importance of love in our lives and relationship.

Will find you when it's ready
Love is something that cannot be rushed or forced, but will come naturally when the time is right.

Well I got high hopes, I got high hopes
Repeating an earlier sentiment of hope and optimism for what the future may hold for us and our relationship.

But they let me down, they usually let me down
However, the risk of disappointment or failure still looms large and continues to be a source of anxiety or fear for me.
