Lyrics
I didn't know that you'd be leavin'
I didn't anticipate that you would be leaving.
Or who you thought you were talkin' to.
Uncertain about who you were addressing or confiding in.
I figure maybe we're even
Suggesting a sense of fairness or balance in the situation.
Or maybe I'm one up on you.
Speculating that he might have an advantage in the situation.
I send you all my money
Continuing to support financially, reminiscent of past behavior.
Just like I did before.
Repeating a pattern of sending money as before.
I tried to reach you honey,
Attempting to communicate with affection.
But you're driftin' too far from shore.
Expressing concern that the person is moving away emotionally.
Driftin' too far from shore
Emphasizing the theme of drifting too far from a stable connection.
Driftin' too far from shore
-Driftin' too far from shore
-Driftin' too far from shore
-I ain't gonna get lost in this current,
Asserting a refusal to be lost in the current situation.
I don't like playing cat and mouse.
Disliking the game of cat and mouse, implying a desire for honesty.
No gentleman likes making love to a servant.
Rejecting a romantic relationship in inappropriate circumstances.
Especially when he's in his father's house.
Highlighting the unsuitability of intimate relations in a specific setting.
I never could guess your weight, baby,
Reflecting on the unpredictability of the person's actions.
Never needed to call you my whore.
Dismissing the idea of possessiveness or derogatory labels.
I always thought you were straight, baby,
Previously assumed the person was honest, but now doubts it.
But you're driftin' too far from shore.
Reiterating the theme of drifting away emotionally.
Driftin' too far from shore
Repeating the warning about drifting too far from a stable connection.
Driftin' too far from shore
-Driftin' too far from shore
-Driftin' too far from shore
-Well these times and these tunnels are haunted,
Describing challenging and unsettling times.
The bottom of the barrel is too.
Referring to a difficult or undesirable situation.
I waited years sometimes for what I wanted.
Expressing patience and waiting for desired outcomes.
Everybody can't be as lucky as you.
Acknowledging that not everyone is as fortunate.
Never no more do I wonder,
No longer wondering why there is a lack of interaction.
Why you don't never play with me any more.
Speculating about potential negative outcomes.
At any moment you could go under,
Highlighting the precarious nature of the person's actions.
Cause you're driftin' too far from shore.
Reiterating the warning about drifting too far emotionally.
Driftin' too far from shore
Emphasizing the repeated theme of drifting too far from a stable connection.
Driftin' too far from shore
-Driftin' too far from shore
-Driftin' too far from shore
-You and me we had completeness,
Recalling a period of completeness and fulfillment.
I give you all of what I could provide
Giving all that was possible to provide in the relationship.
We weren't on the wrong side, sweetness,
Despite efforts, realizing they were on the wrong side of the situation.
We were the wrong side.
Acknowledging a mistake or misjudgment in the relationship.
I've already ripped out the phones, honey.
Taking drastic actions to sever communication channels.
You can't walk the streets in a war.
Highlighting the challenges of navigating a difficult situation.
I can finish this alone, honey,
Expressing self-reliance and determination to move forward alone.
You're driftin' too far from shore.
Reiterating the theme of drifting too far from emotional stability.
