Stepping Stone
Pop Evil Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I got you letter on the table
The keys still in the car
Your lipstick stained upon my pillow
From the night before
I wish I knew my right from wrong
I wish I had affliction
Since I read your letter
Girl, you been my new addiction

Well I don't need you to be my stepping stone
I just want you to come back home
And just breathe and believe
It will be alright
But tonight for tonight
Just let it be

I never was one for introductions
Till I first saw your face
And blinded by my intuitions
I had to take my chance now
And looking back, you had your reasons
I couldn't read between the lines
And now you're gone
Nothing else that I can do

I don't need you to be my stepping stone
Yeah, I just want you to come back home
And just breathe and believe
It will be alright
But tonight for tonight
Just let it be

All the years that I have spent on you
Does it really even matter
Through the years, would we amount to something
Does it really even matter

I don't need you
I don't need you to be my stepping stone
I just want you to come back home
And just breathe and believe
It will be alright
But tonight for tonight
Just let it be

Well I don't need you to be my stepping stone
I just want you to come back home
And just breathe and believe




It will be alright
But tonight for just one day

Line by Line Meaning

I got you letter on the table
I received your letter and left it on the table


The keys still in the car
Your keys are still in the car


Your lipstick stained upon my pillow, From the night before
I can see your lipstick on my pillow from when you slept over last night


I wish I knew my right from wrong
I wish I knew what decision to make


I wish I had affliction
I wish I had an ailment or a problem to excuse my behavior


Since I read your letter, Girl, you been my new addiction
Ever since I received your letter, I've been addicted to you


Well I don't need you to be my stepping stone
I don't need you to help me advance or succeed


I just want you to come back home
I just want you to return to our home


And just breathe and believe, It will be alright
Just take a moment to relax and trust that things will be ok


But tonight for tonight, Just let it be
For tonight, let's just be in the moment and not worry about anything else


I never was one for introductions, Till I first saw your face
I've never been good at initiating conversations until I first saw you


And blinded by my intuitions, I had to take my chance now
My instincts told me to take my chance with you and I was blinded by that feeling


And looking back, you had your reasons, I couldn't read between the lines
Now that I look back, I realize that you had your reasons for leaving and I didn't understand your subtle hints


And now you're gone, Nothing else that I can do
And now that you're gone, there's nothing else I can do to change the situation


All the years that I have spent on you, Does it really even matter
Do all the years I invested in our relationship even matter anymore?


Through the years, would we amount to something, Does it really even matter
Despite spending all those years together, would we have ultimately succeeded together? Does it even matter now?


I don't need you, I don't need you to be my stepping stone
I don't need you to support me


But tonight for just one day, Just let it be
Just for tonight, let's relax and not worry about anything else
