It Beats Me Every Time Lyrics
Sleepless,
Can't ignore a radio on the second floor
Red dress,
Hanging on the chair where she sat down before
Taking out the trash and by mistake
I throw away the keys
Just before I left
I find I will be gone for weeks
What am I supposed to do when I don't know
Seven twenty-five, I'm leaving for the big plans
What am I supposed to do when I don't care
It beats me every time
Just don't understand what's wrong with you
It beats me every time
I just can't figure out what you're up to
It beats me every time
But I know what you've done for me
What you have done for me lately
It's nothing
Different,
In the way we hurt before a thousand times
Boring,
Sound like the very best of times one tries
Blending with the bigger crowd,
It's easy to escape your face
Standing on your tip toes
Can't you get a glimpse of what they say?
What am I supposed to do when I don't know
Every fifteen minutes, someone asks a question
What am I supposed to do when I don't care
It beats me every time
Just don't understand what's wrong with you
It beats me every time
I just can't figure out what you're up to
It beats me every time
I just don't understand what's wrong with you
It beats me every time
I just can't figure out what you're up to
It beats me every time
But I know what you've done for me
What you have done for me lately
What you have done for me lately
What you have done for me lately
It's nothing
It's nothing
It's nothing
Nothing.
Can't ignore a radio on the second floor
Red dress,
Hanging on the chair where she sat down before
I throw away the keys
Just before I left
I find I will be gone for weeks
Seven twenty-five, I'm leaving for the big plans
What am I supposed to do when I don't care
Just don't understand what's wrong with you
It beats me every time
I just can't figure out what you're up to
It beats me every time
What you have done for me lately
It's nothing
In the way we hurt before a thousand times
Boring,
Sound like the very best of times one tries
It's easy to escape your face
Standing on your tip toes
Can't you get a glimpse of what they say?
Every fifteen minutes, someone asks a question
What am I supposed to do when I don't care
Just don't understand what's wrong with you
It beats me every time
I just can't figure out what you're up to
It beats me every time
I just don't understand what's wrong with you
It beats me every time
I just can't figure out what you're up to
It beats me every time
What you have done for me lately
What you have done for me lately
What you have done for me lately
It's nothing
It's nothing
It's nothing

I'm totally guessing on this but to me it seems like a guy who's had a fight with a girl and he can't focus on anything else thats going on but her hence the lines:
What am I supposed to do when I don't know Seven twenty-five, I'm leaving for the big plans What am I supposed to do when I don't care
and then he starts to get a little mad at why he can't figure out why she's mad and he's mad because he misses her and she's not talking to him
basically she's all he thinks about
