Wallpaper
Neon Dreams Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Dont want to miss ya dont want to miss ya
Even though you slipped away
Still stuck on me like wallpaper
Its probably been a thousand days
Still hoping that you call later...
Watched your eyes say let me go (Let me go)
Watching it all slip through our fingers
The rain paints the window like wallpaper...
I know how it feels
To be a shield
Filling with water
Pulling you under
Nothing clear and you cant hear
Heavier Armour
I need to get you out of my sight
Before i lose my mind
Even angels deserve too...
Watched your eyes say let me go (Let me go)
Held you close enough to know (Wallpaper)
OH WOA OH WO OH OH OH
OH WOA OH WO OH OH OH
Wallpaper!
Ill draw the line if you paint the picture...
Watched your eyes say let me go (Let me go)
Held you close enough to know (Wallpaper)
OH WOA OH WO OH OH OH x2
STILL STUCK ON ME LIKE WALLPAPER!

They know that they need to let go, but they are holding on tight, unable to accept that the relationship is over. The metaphorical language used throughout the song paints a picture of someone who is struggling to move past the end of the relationship.
