Can You Hear Me Now
UPSAHL Lyrics

Manipulate me
She feels like she is being emotionally manipulated by someone.

Your elevator's up and down try to shake me
The person she is referring to is inconsistent with their actions, which causes her to feel uneasy.

My feet are too high off the ground
She feels like she is in a vulnerable position and is not sure how to solve it.

I try to run from the sound (sound)
She tries to ignore the issue, but it keeps coming back to her.

Just let the fumes breath
She is suggesting that the issue needs to be allowed to air out before it can be addressed properly.

A simple set of goodbyes at least
She just wants the person to be honest with her and to leave if necessary.

Coincidence or synchronicity
She questions if the situation is based on chance or something more orchestrated.

I try to run but I can't find a way to leave
She wants to escape the situation, but feels trapped and can't figure out how to get away.

I won't give up now
She is determined to keep trying to fix the situation.

Giving you an out
She is giving the other person a chance to leave.

I'm burning now
She is feeling intense emotions about the situation and can't keep them bottled up.

Can you hear me now
She is trying to communicate her feelings to the other person and wants to be heard.

Flip this upside down
She wants to change the situation completely.

Spin it all around
She wants to examine the situation from all angles to try to find a solution.

The new reliability
She is looking for something or someone to rely on in this situation.

A new philosophy
She needs to approach the situation with a new mindset.

A new trip to give in to
She is willing to try a different approach or new things to resolve the issue.

This feeling has got me
She is overwhelmed by her emotions and doesn't know how to deal with the situation.

Losing sleep
She is losing emotional or physical rest due to the problem at hand.

I try to run from the weak
She tries to avoid feeling vulnerable in the situation.

If this is right then I'm wrong
She questions if she is the one in the wrong in the situation.

It's the discomfort I believe
She believes that the discomfort she feels is the issue at hand and wants to address it.

My expectation is high
She has high expectations for the situation and wants it to be resolved to her satisfaction.

Because of your integrity
She believes the other person has certain values that uphold the situation to a certain standard.

While you still have chance to leave
She is giving the other person a chance to exit the situation without continuing to hurt her.

Stuck in the love with a feeling that's so untrue
She feels trapped in a love that doesn't feel real or honest.

I have no one to blame but myself and you
She takes responsibility for her own part in the situation, but also recognizes that the other person has played a role in it as well.

I see the final score if your words are true
She sees the eventual outcome of the situation if the other person is being truthful.

Then I'll be convinced
If the other person is honest, she will have no choice but to believe them and act accordingly.

Can you hear me
She is desperate to be heard and wants to resolve the situation.

Can you hear me now
She is asking the other person to truly listen and understand her perspective.
