You Wanna Freak Out Lyrics
Play it safe.
Play it cool.
If you ever emote, you're playing the fool.
Is that the way you think it is?
Can't get yours if he ain't gettin' his? C'mon.
You know how you are.
First you're up, up, down, down.
One day you're in, the next one you're out.
You wanna freak out? C'mon!
You wanna freak out? C'mon!
Yeah, c'mon!
Play it smart.
Soul intact.
How you react is what you get back.
Cause that's the way we really see:
I am "you're" and "you're" is me. C'mon.
You know how we are.
First we're up, up, down, down.
One day we're in, the next one we're out.
You wanna freak out? C'mon!
You wanna freak out? C'mon!
Yeah!
You wanna freak out? C'mon!
You wanna freak out? C'mon!
You wanna freak out?
You wanna freak out?
You wanna freak out?
You wanna freak out?
You wanna freak out? C'mon!
Yeah!
Play it cool.
If you ever emote, you're playing the fool.
Is that the way you think it is?
Can't get yours if he ain't gettin' his? C'mon.
You know how you are.
One day you're in, the next one you're out.
You wanna freak out? C'mon!
You wanna freak out? C'mon!
Yeah, c'mon!
Soul intact.
How you react is what you get back.
Cause that's the way we really see:
I am "you're" and "you're" is me. C'mon.
You know how we are.
One day we're in, the next one we're out.
You wanna freak out? C'mon!
You wanna freak out? C'mon!
Yeah!
You wanna freak out? C'mon!
You wanna freak out?
You wanna freak out?
You wanna freak out?
You wanna freak out?
You wanna freak out? C'mon!
Yeah!

A soothing delicate tune... This song seems to portray a relationship where the two struggle to remain consistent in their emotions, resulting in communication issues. In the first verse, James seems to be revealing the girl's habit of being content as long as her partner is. He insists that her emotional responses be genuine, rather than "emoting" and "playing the fool."
It's a prime example of one losing themselves in another and how this affects the two as individuals trapped in weighing the highs and lows of the relationship.
Just about leveling your ego to see the big picture, if you ask me
