Intro:     |      |      |     |    |     |      |       | verse 1: She comes out on Fridays every time Stands out in a line I could have been anyone she’d seen     (Riff 1)      She waits another week to fall apart She couldn’t make another day I wish it was anyone but me I could have been anyone you see She had something breakable just under her skin Chorus 1:   American girls all weather and noise Playing the changes for all of the boys Holding a candle up to my hand Making me feel so incredible verse 2:     She comes out of closets every night But then she locks herself away Where she could keep anything from me I could have been anyone you see She’s nothing but porcelain underneath her skin Chorus 2:   American girls all weather and noise Playing the changes for all of the boys Holding a candle up to my hand Making me feel so incredible Interlude: (play intro riff with vocals)   Little shivers shaking me everyday   But I could get the same thing anywhere   So if she goes away Well it’s alright and I’m okay "Hey" she said "Come back again tonight." And I said "I might I might I might." She said "Well that’s alright.    If it’s alright it’s alright with you then it’s alright if it’s alright with me           verse 3: I waited for an hour last Friday night She never came around She took almost everything from me          I’m going through my closets Trying on her clothes almost everyday I could’ve been anyone you see I wish it was anyone but me There’s nothing but pills and ashes under my skin Chorus 3:   American girls all weather and noise Playing the changes for all of the boys Holding a candle up to my hand Making me feel so incredible

She Don't Want Nobody Near

La chanson évoque une jeune femme qui, chaque semaine, se présente sous un jour nouveau, cherchant une connexion tout en se cachant derrière une façade fragile. L’artiste exprime son désir d’être quelqu'un d'autre pour elle, ressentant sa vulnérabilité et ses luttes intérieures. Il ressent également le poids des attentes, alors qu’elle oscille entre le fait de se dévoiler et de se refermer sur elle-même, créant une atmosphère à la fois captivante et tragique. Le contexte semble illustrer les relations compliquées, où les apparences peuvent masquer des réalités beaucoup plus sombres, et où l’amour et la désillusion se côtoient. Cette dualité entre l’attrait et les souffrances cachées résonne à travers des images poignantes.
