Be the first to rate this song

Lyrics

She got a lover's soul she got her radio

She possesses a soul filled with love and a radio.

She got her memories and her extremities

She holds onto her memories and physical extremities (parts of her body).

She's drivin' much too fast

She's driving recklessly, possibly metaphorically racing through life.

She needs to make it last

She desires to prolong her current state or situation.


She wrote a song for you

She composed a song for someone, naming it "Black and Blue."

She calls it black and blue

The song reflects pain and emotional distress.

Ain't no way to live a lifetime ain't no way to live at all

Living a life like this is not sustainable, it's not a proper way to exist.

Ain't no way to live a lifetime It just ain't no way to live at all

Reiterating that enduring a life like this isn't a way to truly live.


She's sick of being late

She's tired of constantly being behind schedule.

She knows she's' second rate

She feels inadequate, not up to a higher standard.

She wonders if you'll stay

She's uncertain if the person she cares about will stay with her despite her flaws.

And love her anyway

Hoping for love despite her imperfections.


She's crawling back again

Returning again despite knowing it might lead to a painful conclusion.

It's such a bitter end

Recognizing a bitter and unpleasant ending.

She knows she don't belong

Feeling out of place or not fitting into a certain situation.

She screams a children's song

Expressing distress by screaming a song meant for children.


The sun don't shine my way

Experiencing a lack of happiness or positivity.

And the moon don't make me dance

Feeling disconnected from joy or things that usually bring happiness.

If you're listening hear me pray

Asking for someone to hear her plea or prayer.

I'd give my hands for just a second chance

Willing to trade anything for another opportunity or chance.


My plea is not in vain

Her request or plea is sincere and earnest.

She lost her lover's soul she lost her radio

She has lost some vital parts of herself, emotionally and possibly physically.

She got her memories and her extremities

Similar to line 2, emphasizing what she still holds onto despite her loss.

Just let that bad man go

Advising to let go of a harmful or negative influence, possibly a person.


She's sweating in the snow

Experiencing discomfort or distress even in unexpected situations.

No one to call her own

Feeling a lack of belonging or ownership in relationships or life.

Don't call the truth ain't home

Recognizing that the truth or resolution might not be accessible or present.

All alone all alone

Being completely alone and isolated.
