When You're Drinking
Love on the Rocks: Navigating Heartbreak in Neon Light Shadows
Lyrics
We've been down this road before
We've experienced similar situations in the past.
How many times am I gonna have to close that door?
Expressing frustration about having to end the relationship repeatedly.
When you've had wine, and you're lonely
Noting that the partner reaches out when they've consumed wine and feel lonely.
Why is that the only time you ever want me?
Questioning why the partner only expresses interest when under the influence.
You can call me an ex, when you hang out with your friends
Labeling as an "ex" when the partner spends time with friends.
You can call me on a Sunday, just to ask me how I've been
Being available for communication on a Sunday for casual inquiries.
You can call me almost anytime, 'cept when you're under neon lights
Available most times except when the partner is in a party or similar environment.
'Cause you say you love me, and we know you don't mean it
Highlighting that the partner claims love but doesn't genuinely mean it.
So just don't call me when you're drinking
Advising the partner not to contact when they are drinking.
Just don't call me when you're drinking
Reiterating the plea not to be contacted during drinking episodes.
'Cause I'll pick up and you'll Uber here
Anticipating the partner's call and the subsequent meeting through Uber.
We'll do what we always do and you'll disappear
Describing a repetitive pattern where the partner disappears after meeting.
Then I'll wake up, still holding on
Awakening while still emotionally attached to something fleeting.
To something that I'll only have, 'til you're sober and you're gone
Realizing the impermanence of the relationship until the partner is sober and leaves.
You can call me an ex, when you hang out with your friends
Repeating the label of "ex" when the partner socializes with friends.
You can call me on a Sunday just to ask me how I've been
Being open to communication on Sundays for casual check-ins.
You can call me almost anytime, 'cept when you're under neon lights
Being generally available except during nightlife activities.
'Cause you say you love me, and we know you don't mean it
Emphasizing that the partner's professed love lacks sincerity.
So just don't call me when you're drinking
Reiterating the request not to be contacted during drinking moments.
'Cause I'll start thinking, that this time you really need me
Expressing concern that the partner might actually need emotional support during drinking.
My heart just won't learn the lesson, that you're always gonna leave me
Admitting difficulty in learning the lesson that the partner will always leave.
You can call me an ex, when you hang out with your friends
Repeating the designation of "ex" in the context of socializing with friends.
You can call me on a Sunday just to ask me how I've been
Being available for contact on Sundays for general inquiries about well-being.
You can call me almost anytime, 'cept when you're under neon lights
Available for communication except during nightlife activities.
'Cause you say you love me, and we know you don't mean it
Highlighting the insincerity of the partner's proclaimed love.
So just don't call me when you're drinking
Reiterating the advice not to reach out during drinking moments.
Just don't call me when you're drinking
Reemphasizing the plea not to be contacted during episodes of drinking.
