Dalam lagu "Erase," penyanyi Mika mengungkapkan penyesalannya atas perilaku impulsif yang dilakukan setelah dilanda rasa tidak aman. Ia mengakui kesalahannya dalam menghubungi kekasihnya larut malam, meninggalkan pesan yang menyakitkan, dan mengucapkan kata-kata kasar. Mengetahui bahwa ia telah merusak hubungan, Mika memohon kepada kekasihnya untuk menghapus ingatan tentang dirinya, tetapi ia yakin bahwa sentuhan dan kehadirannya akan sulit untuk dilupakan. Lagu ini menjadi perenungan tentang rasa sakit akibat kehilangan cinta dan upaya sia-sia untuk menggantikannya.
Erase Lyrics
Mika
I shouldn't have called so late last night
All insecure, out of my mind
I shouldn't have left that message on your phone
I shouldn't have said the things I said
Looking for love we left for dead
In a grave without a stone
As soon as you hear my voice
Don't hesitate put your finger on the button
Erase, my love
I bet you can't erase my touch
You're trying to replace
A figure without a name
With somebody else's face in your head
Every thing's cool
The rent is paid
The house is clean
Your bed is made
But it's a ghost town in your mind
Never had time to go to sleep
We'd wake up tangled in the sheets
On a bed that we called home
When the pain won't go away
You might as well put your finger on the trigger
Erase my love
I bet you can't erase my touch
You're trying to replace
A figure without a name
With somebody else's face in your head
Erase
Erase my love.
I bet you can't erase my touch.
You're trying to replace.
A figure without a name.
With somebody else's face.
In your head.
Erase
Erase
You're trying to replace.
A figure without a name.
With somebody else's face.
In your head.
Erase
Oh oh
All insecure, out of my mind
I shouldn't have left that message on your phone
I shouldn't have said the things I said
Looking for love we left for dead
In a grave without a stone
As soon as you hear my voice
Don't hesitate put your finger on the button
Erase, my love
I bet you can't erase my touch
You're trying to replace
A figure without a name
With somebody else's face in your head
Every thing's cool
The rent is paid
The house is clean
Your bed is made
But it's a ghost town in your mind
Never had time to go to sleep
We'd wake up tangled in the sheets
On a bed that we called home
When the pain won't go away
You might as well put your finger on the trigger
Erase my love
I bet you can't erase my touch
You're trying to replace
A figure without a name
With somebody else's face in your head
Erase
Erase my love.
I bet you can't erase my touch.
You're trying to replace.
A figure without a name.
With somebody else's face.
In your head.
Erase
Erase
You're trying to replace.
A figure without a name.
With somebody else's face.
In your head.
Erase
Oh oh
