We Ain't Done
Whiskey-Infused Longing: Arie VanDenBerg's Melodic Reflections on Love and Lost Moments
Lyrics
Sweet soul music and whiskey, the first night you kissed me
Sweet soul music and whiskey, reminiscing about the first night we kissed.
Well, I've been smoking like a chimney, wondering do you miss me
Expressing a smoking habit while pondering if the other person misses them.
Keep telling that bartender to hit me, so tonight I'll feel risky
Repeatedly asking the bartender for more drinks to feel daring tonight.
I've been wondering now who tied you down, who makes your world spin around
Curiosity about who holds significance in the other person's life.
And I'm wondering if maybe he'll say, maybe me and you should go hit the town
Speculating if the other person might suggest going out together.
Hell, I'm already spinning for too many minutes, off too many shots of this crown
Feeling intoxicated and excited, possibly due to alcohol consumption.
Summertime long-haired dreams, you're wearing cut-off jeans
Recalling summer memories, picturing the other person in cut-off jeans.
Still thinking back when we were teens, what does life really mean
Reflecting on the meaning of life, particularly when they were teenagers.
Back when I was the king and you were my queen
Nostalgic reference to a time when the singer felt powerful in the relationship.
But I'm sitting here thinking I need to quit drinking, hell, I feel like I'm gonna drown
Contemplating the need to cut back on drinking due to overwhelming emotions.
Hope you'll walk in, sipping, I'll see him bitching, I'll go up there and knock him to the ground
Hoping for the other person to enter, anticipating a confrontation with a rival.
Wish you'd come downtown, see me in the lounge, and kiss me right up on my frown
Desire for the other person to come to the lounge and share an intimate moment.
And kiss me right up on my frown
Reiteration of the longing for a kiss and emotional connection.
Remember when we went swimming, hell, that felt like living
Recollecting a memorable moment of joy while swimming together.
I won't forget, you looked at me grinning, and we got to sinning
Emphasizing the unforgettable happiness and indulgence during that time.
I took you for a ride, and you sitting shotty
Recalling a shared experience of driving together with the other person in the passenger seat.
Right by my side, swearing we weren't stopping
Asserting commitment, affirming that they won't stop together.
Need to go, we gotta run
Feeling the need to leave and run away, but expressing reluctance.
Come on baby, I'm just saying maybe
Encouraging the other person to join them, suggesting that their journey is not over.
We ain't done, we ain't done
Affirming that their story or relationship is not finished, implying there's more to come.
