Run me in circles
Like you always do
Mess with me on purpose
So I'll hang onto you
I know what you mean when you act like that
But you don't know it's breaking my heart
Said that it was just never gonna happen
Then almost kissed me in the dark
Every time we talk it just hurts so bad
'Cause I don't even know what we are
I don't even know where to start
But I can play the part
We say we're friends but I'm catching you across the room
It makes no sense 'cause we're fighting over what we do
And there's no way that I'll end up being with you
But friends don't look at friends that way
Friends don't look at friends that way
Can't even tell if
I love or hate you more
You've got me addicted
And I can't tell who's keeping score
I know what you mean when you act like that
But you don't know it's breaking my heart
Said that it was just never gonna happen
Then almost kissed me in the dark
Every time we talk it just hurts so bad
'Cause I don't even know what we are
I don't even know where to start
But I can play the part
We say we're friends but I'm catching you across the room
It makes no sense 'cause we're fighting over what we do
And there's no way that I'll end up being with you
But friends don't look at friends that way
Friends don't look at friends that way
Friends don't look at friends that way
Friends don't look at friends that way
We say we're friends but I'm catching you across the room
It makes no sense 'cause we're fighting over what we do
And there's no way that I'll end up being with you
But friends don't look at friends that way
Friends don't look at friends that way
Explication des paroles
La chanson « That Way » de Tate McRae parle des conséquences d’une relation toxique et de la difficulté de laisser aller quelqu’un qui nous fait du mal. Les paroles expriment le sentiment de se sentir piégé dans une dynamique malsaine, mais aussi la force intérieure nécessaire pour finalement se libérer et se reconstruire.
Tate McRae, qui est une artiste canadienne en pleine ascension, a écrit cette chanson alors qu’elle était encore adolescente, ce qui ajoute une dimension de sincérité et d’authenticité à ses paroles. Son style de musique teinté de pop et de R&B lui permet de transmettre des émotions brutes et universelles à travers sa voix puissante et émouvante.
« That Way » a rencontré un grand succès auprès du jeune public grâce à sa capacité à parler de manière honnête et directe des relations compliquées et des luttes internes que beaucoup de jeunes peuvent rencontrer. Tate McRae a su toucher une corde sensible avec cette chanson et continue à se faire une place parmi les nouvelles voix de la musique pop.
