Cheap Thrills
Bummer Hill's Rollercoaster of Love and Loss
Lyrics
I'm not afraid to die
I have no fear of death.
'Cause you're a friend of mine
You are a close friend of mine.
You make me feel alive
Your presence makes me feel alive.
Like I'm walkin' on the sky
Being with you feels euphoric, like walking on the sky.
I just keep wasting time
I'm spending time without a clear purpose.
Because I can't deny
I cannot deny my actions or feelings.
It's always such a thrill
There's always excitement or pleasure.
When you live on Bummer Hill
Life is experienced on Bummer Hill, a metaphorical place.
So if you're leaving then say goodbye
If you're leaving, please say goodbye.
Don't take my drugs or drink my wine
Do not take my substances (drugs, wine) if you leave.
But you're leaving me terrified the way you change my mind
Your departure terrifies me, as it alters my thoughts.
And when I'm with you it's paradise but it's not enough to last the night
Being with you is heavenly, but it's not sufficient for the night.
You really need to get some light
A suggestion to bring positivity into life.
Don't waste my time
Don't waste my time, implying the importance of time.
I'm walking home again
Returning home with a hopeful desire for a deeper connection.
And I hope we're more than friends
Expressing a desire for a closer relationship than friendship.
Too jaded now to tell
Feeling too worn out to express emotions clearly.
But you love me through the hell
You support and love me even in challenging times.
And I just don't wanna see you with anyone but me
Not wanting to see the person with anyone else but oneself.
You said I'm out of touch
Being criticized for being emotionally distant.
If you're leaving then say goodbye
If you're leaving, say goodbye explicitly.
Don't take my drugs or drink my wine
Repeat of line 10, emphasizing substance possessions.
It's hard to see it but I'm alive and you're on my mind
Acknowledging life's difficulties but still feeling alive with thoughts of you.
And I'm a little more sad tonight than I'd like to be 'cause we had to fight
Feeling a bit sad tonight due to a past conflict.
You say we'll make it that's a lie
The assurance of making it together is considered false.
You waste my time
Your actions or words waste my time.
If you're leaving don't stay the night
If you're leaving, don't spend the night.
Don't make me blush or kiss my eyes
Request not to be romantic or overly affectionate if departing.
You got me thinking I'm gonna die
Feeling overwhelmed with thoughts of impending doom.
Don't
A one-word line, possibly emphasizing the previous statement.
If you're leaving then say goodbye
If leaving, say goodbye clearly and definitively.
Don't take my drugs or drink my wine
Repeat of lines 10 and 22, emphasizing the importance of possessions.
If I keep you you'll run me dry
If I keep you, you will exhaust me emotionally or materially.
I love you I hate you
An expression of conflicting emotions, both love and hate.
