The lyrics of "Temporary" by Jack Stauber appear to describe someone who is struggling to say goodbye to someone they care about. The person is described as "too tall" and "too smart" to admit to their emotions, but they know that the other person wants them to open up. The lyrics also mention "poison" and suggest that the situation or relationship is toxic in some way. The person believes that the other is only temporary in their life, which could mean they are not sure if the relationship will last or if they are trying to distance themselves emotionally. Despite these complications, the person singing the song is refusing to say goodbye or admit their feelings. The repetition of the phrase "I won't do it, you want to" suggests that the other person is pushing them to take action, but they are resisting. Overall, "Temporary" seems to be a song about the difficulty of letting go and the fear of being vulnerable in a toxic relationship. The lyrics paint a picture of someone who is struggling to balance their emotions and their desire to maintain control over the situation.
