Ex's and Oh's: A Heart's Journey
Lyrics
Day time, no we can’t stay out the whole night
Expressing the limitation of staying out all night during the day.
No I’ve never fallen quite from this height
Describing a feeling of never experiencing a fall from such emotional heights before.
I’m alright, I’m afraid to say but I’ll be alright
Acknowledging personal struggles but expressing a determination to be okay.
I know I’ll, make it outta here some time
Believing in the eventual ability to overcome challenges and move forward.
Nah you don’t gotta call my you can knock on my door
Indicating a preference for direct communication, knocking on the door instead of calling.
Cus trust me I don’t wanna hear your ring tone no more
Expressing a desire to avoid hearing a particular ringtone, suggesting a desire to avoid certain calls.
And I wonder if you’ll hear me calling out your name
Wondering if the person will notice and respond to a call for attention.
Telling you it won’t feel the same
Suggesting that things won't be the same and expressing emotional distance.
I don’t like my ex’s I much prefer the Oh’s
Expressing a dislike for past relationships and a preference for something new ("Oh’s").
They always runnin back, but I keep on sayin no
Refusing to go back to past relationships despite them trying to return.
You know I had my heart broken not too longs ag
Revealing a recent heartbreak as a reason for current attitudes toward relationships.
And that’s why I ain’t lost a game of ex’s and oh’s
Boasting about not losing in the "game" of dealing with exes and new prospects ("ex’s and oh’s").
I got the aces, im sick and tired of all these places
Claiming to have the upper hand in relationships, feeling tired of various situations.
Going through phases, am I good enough to meet new faces
Questioning self-worth and suitability for meeting new people.
Nah you don’t gotta call my you can knock on my door
Reiterating a preference for direct communication over phone calls.
Cus trust me I don’t wanna hear your ring tone no more
Expressing a strong desire not to hear a particular ringtone again.
And I wonder if you’ll hear me calling out your name
Wondering if the person will notice and respond to a call for attention (repeated theme).
Telling you it won’t feel the same
Suggesting that things won't be the same in the relationship.
I don’t like my ex’s I much prefer the Oh’s

I ain’t never felt like this before
Expressing a unique and intense emotional experience.
Imma lay my heart out on the floor
Committing to vulnerability by laying out one's emotions.
You played a game and got the fame you wanted
Commenting on someone playing a game to achieve fame and calling it lame.
It’s super lame now take back what you promised
Expressing disappointment in unfulfilled promises.
See I don’t like my ex’s I much prefer the Oh’s
