Danger Can't
Mom Jeans Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Still feels like I'm not quite moved in yet
I'm getting kind of tired of facing all my fears
At one time it's hard to believe that I'll be fine one day
I don't get too far before I waver off
Take as much as I can before I get caught
And sticking out my tongue to catch the breath you stole the day you
Told me this was love and healed me with your hugs
And made me feel this might just not be doomed to fail so hard
I'm not scared of dying I'm just overwhelmed
I love you more than I've ever loved myself
I don't expect anything can't get my hopes up too far
Don't text me just to pick up, call just to cut me off
And it makes me kind of glad that you think
About me late at night when you can't sleep
And I'm sorry that your sad but I can't do anything for you
Anymore
In "Danger Can't," Mom Jeans talks about feeling exhausted and overwhelmed. The song presents a mixture of negative and positive emotions that the singer is facing. The first verse talks about feeling unfulfilled, despite trying to make the space feel more homely. The song's narrator is also tired of facing his fears, and it's hard to believe that things will ever be okay. In the pre-chorus, the singer realizes that he is unstable in his actions but does not want to get caught.
The second verse is about the singer's past relationship, where he expresses how tired he is of feeling inadequate. The song suggests that the singer's partner left him breathless and made him feel like he could finally succeed in their relationship. The chorus probably tells us that the singer isn't afraid of dying but more scared of the overwhelming emotions he has over his partner.
The bridge presents two contrasting feelings of guilt and satisfaction. It makes the singer feel good that his partner thinks of him late at night, but he's deeply sorry that he can't do anything to help them. In summary, "Danger Can't" shows the complexities of our emotional life, where we have to face the good and the bad.
