Nothing Left To Lose
The Wipers Lyrics

Did I see you the other day?
Questioning if the singer saw someone recently

Grey eyes looked so grey...
Describing the appearance of the person's eyes

Bitten once with indecision
Feeling hesitant or unsure about something

I could run all the way...
Expressing the artist's desire to escape or avoid something

I turned around
Describing a physical action taken by the artist

To see the sound
Using descriptive language to illustrate synesthesia

And watched the world explode in the sky
Using imagery to describe a powerful or catastrophic event

But when I look straight at you...
Transitioning to a specific focus on the person being addressed

I'm livin a deja vu
Feeling a sense of familiarity or repetition

There's nothin else to do...
Expressing a feeling of being stuck or without options

We've got nothing left to lose, yeah
Acknowledging a lack of stakes or consequences

For and for the fantasy
Suggesting a focus on imagination or unrealistic ideas

We bear it the same everyday
Alluding to a shared experience of monotony or routine

Our lives are shaped by the ones who say
Implying external influences on one's identity or choices

There are no reaons for your mistakes
Expressing a belief that errors or missteps are unavoidable

When I saw you the other day
Referencing a previous encounter with the person being addressed

You made your mark on me
Describing the lasting impact of the person's actions or presence

I can wait for a million years
Exaggerating the length of time the singer is willing to wait for something

But will you wait for me?
Asking if the person being addressed shares the same level of commitment

You feel the heat and you feel the need
Describing the person's emotional and physical responses

As I watched them collide in your eyes
Using metaphor to describe the intensity of the person's emotions

You could run away, but what's the use?
Implying that escaping a situation is futile

Please don't say not a single thing...
Asking for the person's silence or lack of response

Nothing but words, anyway
Downplaying the significance of language or communication

Is this just a blind obsession...
Questioning the rationality or sanity of the singer's feelings

Or was it destiny?
Considering the possibility of fate or predestination

Let's stick around my secret ground
Proposing a shared, private space or experience

And watch the world spin into sand
Using metaphor to describe a destructive or transformative event
