Wooming
Thriftworks Lyrics

Baby, I don't feel so good
The singer is expressing an emotional discomfort to someone they care about.

Six words you never understood
The person they are addressing does not understand the singer's emotional pain.

I'll never let you go
The singer is desperate to hold onto the person they are addressing.

Five words you'll never say
The person they are addressing will not reciprocate the artist's feelings of love.

I laugh along like nothing's wrong
The artist is pretending to be happy in spite of their emotional pain.

Four days has never felt so long
The singer is experiencing an emotional time, and the days seem to drag on.

If three's a crowd and two was us
The singer and the person they are addressing were close, but now there seems to be a third party present.

One slipped away
One of the two people who used to be close has drifted away from the other person.

I just wanna make you feel okay
The artist wants to make the other person happy and alleviate their emotional pain.

But all you do is look the other way
The person they are addressing is uninterested in the artist's emotional distress.

I can't tell you how much I wish I didn't wanna stay
The singer wishes they could move on from their emotional attachment to the other person.

I just kinda wish you were gay
The artist wishes the other person was gay, as their unrequited love would then seem more understandable.

Is there a reason we're not through?
The singer is wondering if there is a reason they and the person they are addressing are not finished with each other yet.

Is there a twelve step just for you?
The singer is questioning if the person they are addressing will ever change their behavior.

Our conversation's all in blue
The conversation the singer and the person they are addressing have is strained and full of sadness.

Eleven 'heys' (hey, hey, hey, hey)
The person they are addressing is being unresponsive to the artist.

Ten fingers tearing out my hair
The artist is upset and anxious.

Nine times you never made it there
The person they are addressing failed to show up nine times.

I ate alone at seven, you were six minutes away
The person they are addressing was close by but did not show up to eat with the singer.

To spare my pride
The artist is trying to protect their pride and emotions.

To give your lack of interest an explanation
The artist is trying to understand why the person does not care about them.

Don't say, I'm not your type
The artist is asking the other person to spare their feelings.

Just say that I'm not your preferred sexual orientation
The singer is wishing that the person did not feel a romantic attraction to the same gender as them.

I'm so selfish
The artist acknowledges that their desires are self-centered.

But you make me feel helpless, yeah
The person they are addressing makes them feel powerless and vulnerable.

And I can't stand another day
The person they are addressing is causing too much emotional pain, and the singer cannot endure it anymore.

I just wanna make you feel okay
The singer still wants to help the other person feel better despite their own emotional pain.

I can't tell you how much I wish I didn't wanna stay
The artist wishes they could stop wanting to remain close to the person they are addressing.

I just kinda wish you were gay
The artist still wishes that the other person was gay to make their unrequited love more understandable and less painful.
