Right Here
Semisane Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When you're around me, yeah
Why do you slow me down when I'm wired
Leading me on in a new direction from here, oh-oh
But whatever you say
I never really cared anyway
About these games you play
So not here, not now, 'til forever
You just gotta know
So right here, right now, you won't know
'Til you let it show to me
I'm sick of lying to your face
I'm taking my things and I'm leaving
To a better place
Whatever you say
I never really cared anyway
About these games you play
Whatever you do
Whatever you say
I know it don't matter anyway
'Cause you'll never change, not you
So not here, not now, 'til forever
You just gotta know
So right here, right now, you won't know
'Til you let it show to me
You know what I mean with together
You just gotta know it'll be forever
You just gotta know
You just gotta know
Right here, right now
Right here, right now
Right here, right now
Right here, right now
Right here, right now
Right here, right now
Right here, right now
Right here, right now
Not here, not now, 'til forever
You just gotta know
So right here, right now, you won't know
'Til you let it show
Right here, right now, 'til forever
You just gotta know
So right here, right now, you won't know
'Til you let it show to me

I'm sick and tired of stormy weather
I'm fed up with the negative atmosphere around me
When you're around me, yeah
Your presence makes things worse for me
Why do you slow me down when I'm wired
I feel held back by you even when I'm energized
Leading me on in a new direction from here, oh-oh
You're taking me somewhere I don't want to go
But whatever you say
I don't care about your words anymore
I never really cared anyway
Your actions are meaningless to me now
About these games you play
I'm tired of the manipulative games you play with me
So not here, not now, 'til forever
I won't put up with you anymore, even in the future
You just gotta know
You need to understand
So right here, right now, you won't know
You won't understand until you show me
'Til you let it show to me
Until you reveal your true intentions to me
I'm sick of lying to your face
I'm tired of pretending everything is okay between us
I'm taking my things and I'm leaving
I'm removing myself from this toxic situation
To a better place
To a more positive environment
Whatever you do
I don't care what you do
I know it don't matter anyway
Your actions don't affect me anymore
'Cause you'll never change, not you
You're incapable of changing your behavior
You know what I mean with together
We had a connection at one point
You just gotta know it'll be forever
I hoped our connection would last
Right here, right now
In this moment
Not here, not now, 'til forever
I won't tolerate you anymore
Right here, right now, you won't know
You won't understand until you're honest with me
'Til you let it show to me
Until you reveal your true intentions to me

RIP Tikara, really hurts to hear your sweet sweet voice and to know you're no longer with us. Gone way too soon.
