You’re here that’s the thing
beabadoobee Lyrics

Catch the rain
Find beauty even in less-than-ideal situations.

Even on a sunny day
Life can be unpredictable and contradictory, so be prepared for anything.

I swear, I'm not excusing
I'm not trying to make excuses for my behavior or feelings.

I'll cross my heart to prove it
I'm swearing on something dear to me to show that I'm being honest.

But she seems tired 'cause we've been through this
The other person may be getting worn down from this ongoing situation between us.

And I know you said that we're not a thing
I understand that you don't see us as a couple or anything more than just friends.

But you're here, that's the thing
But the fact that you're spending time with me and paying attention to me makes me think that there might be more between us.

And I'm not tryna give you a ring
I'm not trying to force a commitment on you or rush into anything.

Well, maybe on the phone if you let it sing
But I wouldn't mind expressing my feelings to you over the phone or in some other way, if you're willing to listen.

You're overcomplicating everything
Sometimes it can seem like you're making things more complicated than they need to be.

When the lights go down, don't say I didn't warn ya
I'm giving you fair warning that things might get intense or emotional if we keep spending time together.

I don't think that's legal in the state of California
Just kidding, but whatever we do together should be consensual and safe for both of us.

I've got you wrapped around my finger
I feel like I have some control over your feelings or actions.

Like a piece of ribbon
You're pliable and easy to manipulate.

You just won't admit it that you're smitten
You're not willing to confess your true feelings for me.

Hold on a minute, please, won't you listen?
I'm asking you to take a moment to really hear what I'm saying and consider it.

'Cause I'm not sure if you're into me like I'm into you
I'm not sure if our feelings for each other are mutual or one-sided.

I said a lot of stupid things in the Winter once the ice got thinner
I may have said or done things that were foolish or misguided in the past.

But somehow we managed through the Fall
But we were able to overcome those challenges and still be friends or close.

So I guess it's not that bad at all
So, in the grand scheme of things, our situation isn't that terrible or hopeless.

I'm goin' away
I'll be leaving or going somewhere else soon.

Did I forget to mention how long I'd stay?
I may have neglected to tell you how long I planned to be gone.

Is that a question for another day?
But that's not really important or relevant right now.

But while we're away
While we're not together or in the same place.
