That Girl
Redemption and Resilience: That Girl by Alexis Wilkins Unveils a Journey of Growth
Lyrics
It was just a few drinks
Reflecting on a past event involving a few drinks.
Few things we shouldn’t said
Acknowledging words said during the event that shouldn't have been said.
Lost our head
Admitting to losing control or composure.
And here I am
Expressing the aftermath of the event and its impact.
All over again
Feeling a sense of repetition or déjà vu.
It’s been a few weeks
Describing the passage of time since the event.
Few texts I didn’t read
Not engaging with certain text messages.
Calls I didn’t see
Missing calls and potentially avoiding communication.
Maybe you’re missin me
Speculating about the other person missing the speaker.
Wonderin how I been
Wondering about the other person's curiosity regarding the speaker's well-being.
If you’re wonderin how I been
Reiterating the curiosity about the speaker's current state.
I wanna come back home, make things right
Expressing a desire to reconcile and make amends.
Let your words slide on by
Wishing for forgiveness and understanding.
Jump in my car, pull back in that drive
Envisioning a return home and reconciliation.
I wanna one more chance one more time
Seeking another chance to make things right.
Buy all your recycled lines
Acknowledging the repetition of insincere words.
Sleep in your arms let tomorrow have tonight
Longing for the comfort of being in the other person's arms.
And Hear you tell me that I’m your whole world
Desiring to be the center of the other person's world.
But I ain’t gonna be that girl
Rejecting the idea of being a certain type of person.
It wasn’t just a few things
Clarifying that the issues were more significant than initially implied.
It was tradin my dreams
Revealing a sacrifice of personal dreams for something else.
For searching for purpose
Searching for a purpose in life.
Puttin the work in
Putting effort into a pursuit that ultimately proved unrewarding.
And it wasn’t worth it
Expressing disappointment in the outcome of the effort.
Ones thing’s for certain
Acknowledging certainty about the situation.
I wanna come back home, make things right
Reiterating the desire to return home and reconcile.
Let your words slide on by
Desiring forgiveness and understanding for past mistakes.
Jump in my car, pull back in that drive
Imagining a return to a familiar place.
I wanna one more chance one more time
Seeking another opportunity to make things right.
Buy all your recycled lines
Acknowledging the repetition of insincere expressions.
Sleep in your arms let tomorrow have tonight
Longing for physical and emotional closeness.
And Hear you tell me that I’m your whole world
Desiring affirmation of being important to the other person.
But I ain’t gonna be that girl
Rejecting the idea of reverting to a previous self.
Who comes running back in
Rejecting the idea of returning in a familiar way.
Actin like nothin happened
Avoiding the pretense of normalcy after an incident.
Like I’ve done 100 times before
Acknowledging past patterns of behavior.
But that ain’t me anymore
Asserting a change in personal identity and behavior.
I wanna come back home, make things right
Reiterating the desire to reconcile and make amends.
Let your words slide on by
Wishing for forgiveness and understanding.
Jump in my car, pull back in that drive
Envisioning a return home and reconciliation.
I wanna one more chance one more time
Seeking another chance to make things right.
Buy all your recycled lines
Acknowledging the repetition of insincere words.
Sleep in your arms let tomorrow have tonight
Longing for the comfort of being in the other person's arms.
And Hear you tell me that I’m your whole world
Desiring to be the center of the other person's world.
But I ain’t gonna be that girl
Rejecting the idea of being a certain type of person.
