Lyrics
Hold on let me talk this over
Expressing a desire to discuss something
I know I been less than sober
Acknowledging being under the influence of alcohol
Less than what you want and hope for
Acknowledging not meeting expectations
I still have the skeleton buried beneath
Revealing the existence of unresolved issues or secrets
Stop light
Describing feelings of discomfort and unease
Uptight
-I just never feel right
-Upside down, I
Expressing a sense of confusion or disorientation
Think I missed the plotline
Reflecting on past experiences and memories
Night sky
-Drive by
-Thinkin' bout our past life
-Reminisce bout lost time
Expressing regret for not being able to visit
Sorry I can't stop by
Reiterating the need for a conversation
Hold on let me talk this over
Repeating the acknowledgment of not meeting expectations
I know I been less than sober
-Less than what you want and hope for
-I still have the skeleton buried beneath
-And I am nothing but bones and teeth
Describing a sense of vulnerability and self-awareness
My own reflection always haunting me
-And I am no fucking guarantee
-But I am not your skeleton key
Asserting that the speaker is not a solution to someone else's problems
(I'm not, I'm not, not your skeleton key)
Reiterating that the speaker is not a solution ("skeleton key")
(I'm not, I'm not, not your skeleton key)
-(I'm not, I'm not, not your skeleton key)
-(Not your skeleton key)
-Not your skeleton key
Emphasizing the speaker's inability to unlock or solve problems
Buried beneath all the grief from the
Describing emotional pain and conflict in a relationship
Heartache driving me insane and you
-Got pissed at me for thinking things changed
-I guess I was wrong
Admitting to a misunderstanding or misjudgment
Hold on let me talk this over
Repeating themes of self-awareness, regret, and emotional baggage
I know I been less than sober
-Less than what you want and hope for
-I still have the skeleton buried beneath
-And I am nothing but bones and teeth
-My own reflection always haunting me
-And I am no fucking guarantee
-But I am not your skeleton key
Emphasizing that the speaker is not the solution to the other person's problems
(I'm not, I'm not, not your skeleton key)
-(I'm not, I'm not, not your skeleton key)
-(I'm not, I'm not, not your skeleton key)
-(Not your skeleton key)
-Not your skeleton key
Reiterating that the speaker is not a "skeleton key"
