MakeDamnSure Lyrics

You've got this new head filled up with smoke
And I got my veins all tangled close
To the jukebox bars you frequent
The safest place to hide

A long night spent with your most obvious weakness
You start shaking at the thought
You are everything I want
'Cause you are everything I'm not

And we lay, we lay together just not
Too close, too close (how close is close enough?)
We lay, we lay together just not
Too close, too close

I just wanna break you down so badly
Well, I trip over everything you say
I just wanna break you down so badly
In the worst way

My inarticulate, store-bought
Hangover hobby kit, it talks
And it says, "you, oh, you are so cool"
"Scissor-shaped across the bed"
"You are red, violent red"
You hollow out my hungry eyes
You hollow out my hungry eyes

And we lay, we lay together just not
Too close, too close (how close is close enough?)
We lay, we lay together just not
Too close, too close

I just wanna break you down so badly
Well, I trip over everything you say
Well, I just wanna break you down so badly
In the worst way

I just wanna break you down so badly
Well, I trip over everything you say
I just wanna break you down so badly
In the worst way (worst way)

I'm gonna make damn sure
That you can't ever leave
No, you won't ever get too far from me
You won't ever get too far from me
I'll make damn sure
That you can't ever leave
No, you won't ever get too far from me
You won't ever get too far from me
You won't ever get too far from me (ever get too far)
You won't ever get too far

I just wanna break you down so badly
Well, I trip over everything you say
Well, I just wanna break you down so badly
In the worst way (worst way)

I'm gonna make damn sure
I just wanna break you down so badly
I just wanna break you down so badly
In the worst way (worst way)

What is the Meaning of MakeDamnSure?

This track is a passionate exploration of an intense and tumultuous relationship. The lyrics convey a sense of possessiveness, with the narrator wanting to 'break down' their partner so they can't ever leave. This could indicate a fear of abandonment or a desire for control. The repeated phrase "too close, too close" suggests an emotional struggle between needing intimacy yet fearing vulnerability. Thus, the song encapsulates the push-pull dynamic common in relationships laden with insecurities and emotional baggage. Despite its catchy beat, it's a poignant reminder of how love can sometimes be messy and complicated. #IntenseLove #EmotionalStruggle #FearOfAbandonment
