okay i have a take! i think sports by beach bunny is an incredibly apt season two/early three brittana song (pre officially getting together) and im going to explain why
specifically it's from santanas pov
- "why are we so complicated?/maybe love is overrated"
this is santana talking about her confusing feelings for britt vs the way she's 'supposed to' feel with guys, love is overrated referring to her feelings that boyfriends aren't worth the trouble because she never actually cares for them
- "i'm tired of waiting/i was never good at sports"
this is interesting with the context of britt and santana because they're both very athletic, but my take on it is like. santana is constantly trying to justify why she and britt shouldn't be together: it doesn't count cuz it's two girls, it's just sex, she hates talking about feelings. but all of those excuses are such obviously bullshit and stemming from fear, they're just as ridiculous as her saying that she's "not good at sports"
- "save the games for the girls on the tennis court"
to me this is similar to the obsession that santana has with golf = lesbian, like she has the idea that a "masculine" sport would out her
- "say you need me but lately you feel unsure"
this is when she tells britt she loves her and britt tells her she loves her but also loves artie and santana is incredibly hurt by that
- "if you feel broken/promise i won't break your heart"
this is when artie calls britt stupid and santana comforts her and supports her and tells her she knows she's smart
- "why are we so complicated?/loves a word ive always hated"
this is santana agreeing to come on fondue for two and announce their relationship and then being too scared, she hates the word love because she's never felt it for anyone but britt but admitting she loves her is terrifying
- "it always feels like i need more"
this is santana looking at her friendship with britt and being like holy shit we're already best friends and practical fused at the hip but i still want more, why do i still want more
- "jesus christ you're so confusing/if we keep score/bet my money that im losing"
and this is santana feeling like a failure because she's losing britt to artie, she's losing her reputation because people think she's gay, and then she loses her abuela because she came out to her
so there we go i suppose! and then of course they figure it out and they live happily ever after :)
