Under
Neon Nights and Heartbreak: Ashley Cooke's Emotional Journey
Lyrics
I was under the impression
I believed something to be true or accurate.
This drink would get me gone, not second guessin'
I thought this drink would intoxicate me without causing doubts.
But here I am, last call again, still askin' questions
Despite the initial expectation, I find myself at the bar again, still questioning.
I don't know the answer to
I'm unsure about something; I lack an answer.
It's like I'm stuck in that rear view
I feel trapped in the past.
Ain't my fault, I've done all they say to do
I'm not to blame; I've followed the advice given.
I got drunk under the neon lights
I consumed alcohol in the presence of bright, urban lights.
Slung dirt up under 35s
I threw mud under large tires (possibly symbolic) or trucks.
To go and be there underneath them
I aspired to be under the sheets with someone new.
Sheets with someone new
I engaged in a new intimate encounter to forget.
Swept the hurt under the rug
I concealed emotional pain beneath the surface.
Done everything under the sun
I've experienced a wide range of activities or emotions.
So I don't understand
I'm confused about why I can't move on.
Baby, why I can't get over you
I don't comprehend why I'm unable to forget you.
No, I don't understand
Reiteration of the confusion about moving on.
Baby, why I can't
Continued confusion about overcoming the past relationship.
Outrun a memory
I can't escape a particular memory or experience.
Foggin' up the glass at the Loxahatchee levy
Describing a misty scene at a specific location.
'Cause now I'm wishin' on stars like a water fountain penny
I'm now relying on wishes like tossing coins into a fountain.
I could either get you back or just forget about what we had
A decision to either reconcile or forget the past.
'Cause right here in-between is killin' me
The middle ground is causing emotional distress.
Yeah, I got drunk under the neon lights
Repeat of engaging in alcohol consumption under bright lights.
Slung dirt up under 35s
Repeated action of creating a mess under large tires.
To go and be there underneath them
Reiteration of aspiring to be with someone new.
Sheets with someone new
Repeating the act of concealing pain under the surface.
Swept the hurt under the rug
Continued engagement in a variety of experiences.
Done everything under the sun
Repeatedly attempting different things to cope.
So I don't understand
Reiteration of confusion regarding moving on.
Baby, why I can't get over you
Expressing the struggle of not getting over the past.
Oh, I can't get over you
Reiteration of the difficulty in moving on.
Yeah, I underestimated just how hard it was gonna be
Underestimation of the challenges in overcoming the situation.
Gettin' over you gettin' over me
Acknowledgment of the mutual challenge of moving on.
I got drunk under the neon lights
Repeated involvement in drinking under neon lights.
Slung dirt up under 35s
Recurrence of throwing mud under large tires.
To go and be there underneath them
Reiteration of the desire to be with someone new.
Sheets with someone new
Repeating the act of concealing pain under the surface.
Swept the hurt under the rug
Continued engagement in various experiences.
Done everything under the sun
Continued attempt to cope with the past through diverse activities.
So I don't understand
Reiteration of confusion about moving on.
Baby, why I can't get over you
Expressing the ongoing struggle of not getting over the past.
Oh, no, I don't understand
Repeated expression of confusion regarding moving on.
Baby, why I can't get over you
Continued confusion about overcoming the past relationship.
