Baby you should know by now that I'm right, for you
But every time I step to you, you change your tune
Sweet wheel of death keeps us holding our breathe
I step to the right, you move to the left
Unless no one else
I'd rather die to myself

Oh why, won't you make up your mind?
I think I must confess
I'm starting to unwind
I been trippin' over you
So tell me something new
Take it or leave it

Maybe I should pack my things and move on?
Maybe I'm foolin' myself and you're already gone?
Watching the flames wither and fade
Trying to make sense of the look on your face
I'm down, I'm an itch
Just playin' that I can hold on

Oh why, won't you make up your mind?
I think I must confess
I'm learning to unwind
I've been trippin' over you
So tell me something new
Take it or leave it

Baby please
Oh baby please
Stay with me or cut me free
Its all of me
Oh why, wont you make up your mind?
I think I must confess
I'm starting to unwind
I been trippin' over you
So tell me something new
Take it or leave it
Take it or leave it

    I personally think it's obvious that the song is about someone who is frustrated with the person he's in love with. He wishes she would stop with the mind games and let him know how she truly feels. She constantly leads him on and tells him she doesn't want him but then changes her mind. He wants to know whether he should move on or stay because she actually does want him. This is his way of calling her out and telling her to make up her mind. I can relate to this song and I think that Matt and the band did a great job with it!
