Ledge

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
She likes the things that I say
We feel the same about a lot
Stuck in my brain, been up late for it
Three days too long need to sleep more
Can't stay too strong feeling weak or
Maybe it's 'cause I'm falling
So, there you go
You got me, got me changing my mind
I wanna know you want me, am I wasting my time?
I never show emotion but for you, I get shy
The stars in the sky don't even shine when I see your eyes
So, how'd I go from nothing to a week in your bed
And I thought I was bluffing when I said what I said
But now It's been a month and you're still all in my head
I said I wouldn't fall I'm looking up at the ledge (yeah, yeah, yeah)
I called it nothing, you're calling it love
What would you call me if I called you up?
Just told you sorry it wasn't enough
I had to break it to build up the trust
But breakdowns lead to breakthroughs
And break-ups lead to make-ups
And fake love leads to fake trust
So, I don't really like to say much (yeah)
You should be the type to fall too fast
I used to be the guy that called you back
'Til I met a girl who broke my heart
Now I'm steady trying to hold my guard
Up 'til noon do things I don't do
I fell too soon and sing about you
I didn't see it coming but I think I kind of love it
'Cause I'm throwing my assumptions
So, how'd I go from nothing to a week in your bed
And I thought I was bluffing when I said what I said
But now It's been a month and you're still all in my head
I said I wouldn't fall I'm looking up at the ledge (yeah, yeah, yeah)
So, there you go
You got me, got me changing my mind
I wanna know, you want me, am I wasting my time?
I never show emotion but for you, I get shy
The stars in the sky don't even shine when I see your eyes
