Bedroom Eyes
Ryan Cassata Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Cause it's been a hard year
But after that when it's all been said and done
I'll come runnin, I'll come running, I'll run
Cause after all I always get so weird at this part in the winter
And I can't even tell if that was true love I felt when I kissed her
Trust a boy with bedroom eyes
Don't you ever, don't you ever
Cause it's a ploy I tell my mind
Cause I can't even trust myself when it comes down to the wire
And I've been known to sprint right before I catch fire
Don't believe
I don't know where I'm headed or what my plan is this time
I'm trying to keep my head well above my shoulders to ease my worrying cry
Cause after all my flaws have been exposed she still kinda likes me
But I'm not used to being loved so I don't know just how she'll mind me
Don't you ever, don't you ever
Trust a boy with bedroom eyes
Don't you ever, don't you ever
Cause it's a ploy I tell my mind
Cause I can't even trust myself when it comes down to the wire
And I've been known to sprint right before I catch fire
I can't even trust myself when it comes down to the wire
And i've been known to sprint right before I catch fire
Don't believe

They caution the listener not to trust someone with "bedroom eyes," recognizing it as a tactic they themselves might use.
The chorus serves as a warning to the listener, advising them not to trust anyone too easily, especially someone who looks as alluring as the singer's own "bedroom eyes." The singer admits that they cannot even trust themselves when it comes to matters of the heart, as they tend to bolt before things get too serious.

I'm not ready to be somebody's baby
I'm not emotionally ready to commit to a relationship
Cause it's been a hard year
Recently, I've been through some tough times
But after that when it's all been said and done
Once I've worked through my personal issues...
I'll come runnin, I'll come running, I'll run
...I'll be ready to pursue a relationship wholeheartedly
Cause after all I always get so weird at this part in the winter
I tend to feel a sense of loneliness and confusion around this time of year
And I can't even tell if that was true love I felt when I kissed her
I'm not sure if my strong feelings for someone were genuine or just a temporary infatuation
Don't you ever, don't you ever
Trust a boy with bedroom eyes
I'm warning you not to trust someone who seems charming and seductive
Cause it's a ploy I tell my mind
It's a tactic that I, myself, sometimes use to get what I want
Cause I can't even trust myself when it comes down to the wire
In the heat of the moment, I'm not always sure if my choices are the right ones
And I've been known to sprint right before I catch fire
I have a tendency to back away from things that scare me, even if they might be good for me
I don't know where I'm headed or what my plan is this time
Currently, I'm uncertain about my future and what actions to take
I'm trying to keep my head well above my shoulders to ease my worrying cry
I'm doing my best to stay calm and level-headed despite my anxieties
Cause after all my flaws have been exposed she still kinda likes me
Even though I'm not perfect and have shown my imperfections, the person I'm interested in still seems to be attracted to me
But I'm not used to being loved so I don't know just how she'll mind me
I don't have much experience with being in a healthy relationship, so I'm unsure of how to navigate it
I can't even trust myself when it comes down to the wire
Once again, I struggle with making decisions when I'm under pressure
And i've been known to sprint right before I catch fire
I tend to run away from high-pressure situations instead of facing them head-on
Don't believe
Don't trust everything I say or do, as I am still figuring things out
