Prelude
Tessa Violet Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
don't need a counselor or seminar to see
and even when it's only you and me
there seems to be something that you keep behind your teeth
you think I would know how this would go
but maybe that's exactly why I want it: no need to hope
count to three, you get what you see and every time you go I'm here thinking
Maybe it's me

I'm insecure, of that I'm sure
I lack confidence and trust in myself
don't need a counselor or seminar to see
I can recognize my own insecurities without outside help
and even when it's only you and me
Even in our intimate moments
there seems to be something that you keep behind your teeth
You're holding back something important from me
you think I would know how this would go
You assume I have more knowledge or experience than I do
but maybe that's exactly why I want it: no need to hope
I am attracted to the unknown because it keeps me from disappointment
count to three, you get what you see
There is simplicity and predictability in this relationship
and every time you go I'm here thinking
Whenever you leave, my mind wanders
Maybe it's me
I wonder if my insecurities are the root of our problems
you think I'd know better by now
You expect me to have learned from past experiences
