Afraid you might see me there
Standing in you tower and face,
You smile aint seen nowhere, nowhere
And come down from your shoulder,
So that you and me can talk, like normal,
And sit right down with me,
So you and I can write ourselves into a novel.
Never left you out in the rain,
But you still want to stand with me and complain
Do I deserve this?
Probably but girl you are anything but perfect
And ohh
And come down from your shoulder,
So that you and me can talk, like normal,
And sit right down with me,
So you and I can write ourselves into a novel.
- Instrumental -
And come down from your shoulder,
So that you and me can talk, like normal,
And sit right down with me,
So you and I can write ourselves into a novel.
When analysing the lyrics, we thought that the first verse was that he can’t stand to see the girl he dated and started to write the song when he passed her or a memory of a place that he was with her. Hence ‘Strolling back to your old place’.
The chorus (And come down…), we thought it started off with him saying that the girlfriend needs to stop considering that herself as ‘better and great’ so that they can talk together as normal. When he does sing ‘like normal’, it suggests that the supposed ex-girlfriend thinks she is bigger in the relationship and as if she ‘knows everything’. In addition, at the end of the song he says ‘novel’, hoping a happy ever after but it doesn’t happen
The third verse starts with ‘Never left you out in the rain, but you still want to stand with me and complain’. He is trying to simplify that the girl always complains when they do something even for the good of her. At the end of the verse, it says ‘perfect’ and so he compares to the start of the relationship where it was somewhat perfect.
Most of the lyrics he wrote, is what it says and there isn’t something that is suggested but the ideas that we came out to do the music video (narrative/concept part) was:
- Seeing each other (Passing houses)
- Flashback
- Talking
- Walking or Fighting…
