Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
If we fight just show me mercy, if I hold you don't you hurt me, that's the deal
I know it's real I feel it in my chest don't be mistaken
Tell me everything about you, all the good inside and out, no hearts are breaking
You'll see, the other half of me I keep inside
You know it's hard for me, but boy I try
Fourty miles up and down, my head's spinning around
Pack your bags, i wish you could. California that's no good, don't let me drown
We can try you'll see it's hard, but when you love there's always scars, just wait you'll see
You'll see, the other half of me I keep inside
You know it's hard for me, but boy I try
Walk away, don't put your head on my chest baby, you know it drives me crazy
Slam the door, don't hit my phone, leave me alone
But if I call
You'll see, the other half of me I keep inside
You know it's hard for me but boy I try, I'll try
Tate Brusa's song "46" is a song about love, trust, and the complexities of relationships. The song starts with the singer asking his significant other to tell him that they love him so that he knows that their relationship is real. He then sets boundaries for the relationship and asks for mercy during fights and to not be hurt when he holds his partner. He wants to know everything about his partner- the good and the bad, worth not breaking each other's heart. These lyrics portray the sense of vulnerability in the relationship, where the singer is highly invested and is desperate for his partner to be on the same page.
The song goes on to talk about a distance of "fourty six miles up and down", which is causing frustration for the singer. He wants his partner to pack the bags and move in with him; however, they are currently in California, which is not ideal. He acknowledges the difficulty of the relationship but suggests that they can work on it together regardless of the scars that come along with it.
Later on, the tone of the song changes into the aspects of break-ups. The singer insists that if everything falls apart, it's important to walk away instead of putting his head on his chest or hitting his phone, which also signifies the boundaries he has already discussed within the relationship. However, in a moment of weakness, if the singer or his partner reaches out to each other, they will see the other half of themselves that they keep locked up.
Overall, the song shows that the relationship is a tough journey, with highs and lows. It's about navigating through it together with honesty and effort.
