Overstaying Welcomes and Emotional Debts: Coconut Cream's 'Parking Ticket' Meaning
Lyrics
You always say what you want
You consistently express your desires openly.
You never think to stop
You rarely pause to consider the consequences.
I'm always the one who feels bad
I often bear the emotional burden when you make mistakes.
When you mess up
You cause me distress when you mess up.
Now you've got a parking ticket in your hand
You now face consequences, symbolized by a parking ticket.
You've overstayed your welcome now you owe me a small fortune
You've stayed too long, and there's a financial debt owed to me.
And I know it's been a while since I've felt like this

But I mean it now

You were elated while I was in a low state.
