Or Something
Speechwriters LLC Lyrics

I never want to be strangers again, she says
She expresses her desire to maintain a close relationship and not revert to being strangers.

There are tears in her eyes
She is emotional and possibly sad.

And later on when I'm all by myself,
In solitude, when he reflects on the situation...

There are tears in mine
...he is also emotional and possibly sad.

We sell our love like it was fresh lemonade
We can easily give away love, like something we can sell or promote.

We yell as cars go by
We are vivid and vocal, willing to capture attention in any way possible.

Run up to strangers and we tug at their coats
We are impulsive and don't hesitate to approach even strangers to connect with them.

And plead with them to try
We try to convince others to explore something new or different or to see things from our perspective.

Growing up is just betraying ourselves
Maturing often means that we have to sacrifice or compromise our own desires and beliefs for the sake of practicality or social norms.

We do it all the time
It becomes a common occurrence in our daily lives.

A year ago I was in love with a girl,
He had a romantic relationship around a year ago.

Now she's gone I'm fine
He has moved on from that relationship and is okay.

Well here we are together
They are together in the moment and possibly connected romantically?

Well here's our favorite song
They share a song that is meaningful or enjoyable to both.

We talked about forever, yeah,
They discussed a potential long-term future together.

Well maybe that's too long
But upon reflection or apprehension, maybe such a commitment is too much or too long.

And I'm alone, she left me
He is currently alone because she is no longer with him.

And I'm alone, tired and weak
He feels lonely, tired and possibly hopeless.

And I'm alone, it's raining, and I'm wondering if I'm happy
The mood is sad and he is questioning his state of happiness while experiencing possible negative circumstances like rain and being alone.

Well I'm alone, talk to me please,
He yearns for interaction and communication with another person.

And I'm alone, breathe me in deep
He wants to experience closeness and intimacy with another person.

And I'm alone, ask me to leave, let's go grab a beer or something
He invites someone to spend time with him and do something light, like having a beer.

But you, you've taken all of my dreams
He feels that the other person has captured his desires and imagination.

And melted them to stone
They are unattainable or no longer meaningful.

And you've skipped them across the water and they're gone
Like stone thrown into a pond, his dreams have now sunk and disappeared.

But you, you gave me nothing at all
He feels that the other person did not do anything significant for him.

But hope when I was weak
The only thing he appreciates is the positivity and optimism she offered when he was feeling down.

And now you're gone, I played along, and I'm alone
Since she left, he feels that he was pretending or going along with something that was not actually fulfilling (possibly a romantic relationship), and is now alone.
