“damn.” is a very personal and emotional song. The lyrics talk about a relationship going back and forth, where REI wants the other person to make a decision and deal with the consequences of their actions.
[Verse 1]
Omission is deception
You still haven't learned your lesson
I don't do second chances
Ask permission not forgiveness
Run and tell my friends I'm selfish

'Cause what you give is what you get
And I don't forget
[Verse 2]

[Chorus]
So tell me why you're back again
Said what I meant, meant what I said
'Cause what I give is what I get
Did you forget?
So tell me why you're back again
Say what you mean, mean what you say
'Cause what you give is what you get
And I don't forget
