The lyrics narrate a story of seasonal romance, likened to a carnival that inevitably ends, highlighting the transient nature of some relationships. The artist grapples with his hesitance to confess his feelings, which leads to regret as he watches the object of his affection move on with someone else. The recurring theme of nervousness underscores the vulnerability and fear associated with expressing true emotions. Ultimately, James resolves not to declare his love unless it is reciprocated, encapsulating the heartache of unrequited love and the personal growth that comes from letting go.
Nervous
Lyrics
I promise that I'll hold you when it's cold out
When we loose our winter coats in the spring
'Cause lately I was thinking I never told you
That every time I see you my heart sings
'Cause we lived at the carnival in summer
We scared ourselves to death on a ghost train
And just like every Ferris wheel stops turning
Oh I guess we had an expiration date
So I won't say I love you, it's too late
(And oh)
'Cause every time I saw you I got nervous
Shivering and shaking at the knees
And just like every song I haven't heard yet no
I didn't know the words in front of me
In front of me, and oh
But I don't wanna know
Who'll take you home?
Who'll take you home?
Who'll take you home, home?
If I let you go
(And oh)
Now that you're on someone else's shoulders
The winter winds are colder on my own
Maybe we will meet when we get older
Maybe we won't
So I won't say I love you if you don't
And no you don't (oh oh)
So I won't say I love you if you don't
