Lyrics
I know, I know, just can't touch, but it feels so close
Expressing awareness of a distant touch that still feels close.
I know, I know, all pent up, ready to explode
Acknowledging pent-up emotions, ready to explode.
Let go, let go, pain to heavy how you 'pose to hold
Encouraging the release of emotional pain that feels too heavy to bear.
Let go, let go, fuck this shit let me take you home
Expressing frustration and a desire to leave a difficult situation.
Pockets heavy, so my jeans hang low
Referring to the weight of the pockets causing low-hanging jeans.
Got me looking like a bag full of bones
Feeling physically and emotionally depleted, like a bag of bones.
Baby ask me why I hate being broke
Questioning the dislike for being financially strained.
Cuz me and brodie yeah, we've always been broke

I know, yeah cuz I'm the one they called

When cops pulled up dragged his ass out the mall

Let go, let go, fuck this shit let me take you home

Used to be a linebacker
Describing a past identity as a tough linebacker.
A 200-pound motherfucker who ain't back down
Emphasizing a fearless and unyielding demeanor in the past.
Used to turn a big talker real quiet when he realize he can't talk his way out
Reflecting on how silence becomes the response when talk fails.
But that just in the past

Now he's breathing through a respirator, pissing in a bag
Describing a difficult present condition involving medical issues.
Remember when she asked
Recalling a question about sadness related to a father figure.
"Do you still feel sad when you're thinking bout your dad?"
Asking a partner to withhold judgment and not provoke a reaction.
Baby, please hold back, and don't you make me shout it
