Cover art for Expectations lyrics by Cut Off Your Hands

"If you could change would it still be the same, With all these expectations" Those are my favoutire lyrics in the song, saying how if he reached the expectations he was suppose to meet, for his bird, would she just make new expectations thus leading him to never be what she wanted him to be. They always stil out in the song.

I don't know if I'm right but I think "Oh these expectations keep on pulling at me. Oh, I just can't hold on" Means that he might break up with her because he can't hold on to what she wants him to be because it's all too much. But I don't know.
