Lyrics
Now I got both hands up,
Expressing surrender or submission, raising both hands.
All the years of doing it rough
Reflecting on a tough or challenging period spanning several years.
Too many times where the cravings were holding me up
Acknowledging frequent struggles with desires or addictions.
Yeah, I left us covered in rust
Describing a state of decay or neglect, possibly in a relationship.
All the memories in the dust
Recalling past experiences and emotions now left behind.
You're the only thing that I can't get my hands on
Expressing a desire for someone or something that is elusive.
I'm holding on to your aftertaste
Clutching onto the lingering taste or memory of a person or experience.
No kind of bottle can wash you away, no
Emphasizing that no substance, like alcohol, can erase the memories.
Stronger than anything I'll ever take
Asserting the enduring strength of feelings, surpassing any substance.
'Cause when the Chemical’s you, I will always react this way
Attributing emotional reactions to the influence of the person ("Chemical’s you").
When the Chemical’s you
Reiterating the impact of the person as a potent "chemical" in the speaker's life.
Now I got both hands up,
Repeating the gesture of surrender, both hands raised.
Givin' up just ain’t in my blood
Asserting resilience, stating that giving up is not in the speaker's nature.
But I still can't through the night without waking up
Admitting difficulty in maintaining uninterrupted sleep due to internal turmoil.
Nobody matches your touch
Highlighting the uniqueness of someone's touch in the speaker's life.
And this pressure’s burning me up
Describing emotional pressure or intensity caused by the mentioned touch.
All I'm needing is u, to get back to US
Expressing a need for the person ("u") to restore a sense of unity or togetherness.
I'm holding on to your aftertaste
Clinging to the enduring memory or essence of the person through taste.
No kind of bottle can wash you away, no
Stressing that no external influence can erase the lingering presence of the person.
Stronger than anything I'll ever take
Reaffirming the enduring strength of emotions compared to any external substance.
'Cause when the Chemical’s you, I will always react this way
Linking emotional reactions consistently to the influence of the person ("Chemical’s you").
When the Chemical’s you
Repeating the impact of the person as a potent "chemical" in the speaker's life.
