The song's overall theme revolves around the struggle of dealing with emotional baggage in a relationship.

Verse 1

We don't need a repeat of the night when
You called me over to your apartment
Should we get close
Should we put the lights down
It was never right, I think you know now
There's a lot of things that I could tell you
But some things are left better if you never knew
So I shut myself up with a nightcap
I'm not tempted, I just don't like that

In this verse, the speaker recalls a past moment that feels significant but also painful. There's a hesitation about revisiting that night, hinting at unresolved feelings. The mention of "your apartment" anchors the memories in a specific place, making it feel intimate yet complicated. The line about keeping some things unsaid shows a desire to protect both themselves and the other person from potential hurt.

Chorus

Who said I don't understand or that I probably won't remember?
Time in the palm of your hand, we both let go together
But I promise, I get your sentiment
I wonder who's been at your apartment
Would you give in, or would you relent?
Who's been tryin' to get in your bed?

The chorus emphasizes the shared experience between the two. There's a sense of understanding and acknowledgment that both have their own struggles. The speaker questions who else might be in the picture, showing jealousy and curiosity. The repeated inquiry about the apartment serves as a metaphor for their shared past and the unresolved feelings that linger.

Verse 2

Empathetic to you and you're healing
Ask a friend if you still don't believe me
I've got stitches that I'm sewin' up too
So, it isn't fair to say, "I love you"
Let's think before we go and hit send
You're cryin' to me on the phone again
I think this conversation needs to end
Remember you're not the only one in this

This verse shifts the focus to empathy. The speaker recognizes the other person's pain while also revealing their own. The metaphor of "stitches" suggests healing from past wounds, making the emotional connection feel relatable. The line about needing to end the conversation hints at the exhaustion of dealing with emotional turmoil. It’s a reminder that both parties are struggling, making it clear that communication is vital but also complicated.

Chorus

Who said I don't understand or that I probably won't remember?
Time in the palm of your hand, we both let go together
But I promise, I get your sentiment
I wonder who's been at your apartment
Would you give in, or would you relent?
Who's been tryin' to get their signal sent?

The second chorus mirrors the first, reinforcing the themes of understanding and uncertainty. It highlights the cyclical nature of their feelings and the lingering questions about trust and fidelity. The repetition underscores the emotional weight of the situation, showing that these thoughts are on the speaker's mind.
