I think this song is about recognising a relationship is unhealthy and willfully trying not to give in to romanticising it. She strives to find authentic affection knowing that performantive romantic gestures do not mean genuine connection.
The image of a male figure tapping at a woman’s window is...
[Verse 1]
He taps at my window
Willing that I'll let him in
I don't think I will though
My heart's taken, I won't tell him again
[Pre-Chorus]
Maybe I'll write him a story and maybe I'll fall asleep in his arms
Maybe I'll wake up lonely and fallen away again
[Chorus]
Until you calm me down
I'll race around this town
Trying to find, oh, an emotion you cannot deny
I will not have him treat me this way
[Verse 2]
And Mother, I blame you
With every inch of the being you gave
For I have become you and I know every part of your game
And Father I love you
But how can you watch as I push her away?
I cannot forgive you for bringing me up this way
[Pre-Chorus]
Maybe I'll write them a story and maybe I'll fall asleep in his arms
Maybe I'll wake up lonely and fallen away again
[Chorus]
Until you calm me down
I'll race around this town
Until you calm me down
I'll race around this town
Trying to find, oh, an emotion you cannot deny
I will not have him treat me this way
[Outro]
So tap at my window
Maybe I might let you in
I don't think I will though
My heart's taken, I won't tell you again
