Hung up on You
Love's Grip: Dillon Carmichael's Tale of Regret and Longing
Lyrics
Hung up on you
Expressing emotional attachment and preoccupation with someone.
Is what I am and no pretending that I ain't
Acknowledging the reality of being emotionally invested without pretending otherwise.
Hung up on you like fishing line in that ol' pine there on the bank
Comparing the emotional attachment to being like a fishing line, emphasizing its strength and permanence.
Like that hammock on them live oaks and them dice on your rearview
Drawing parallels between emotional attachment and various physical elements like a hammock and dice, suggesting both comfort and unpredictability.
Girl I'm hung up on you
Reiterating the emotional attachment, affirming the depth of feelings.
(CHORUS)
Introduction of chorus, highlighting the advice from friends about exploring other opportunities.
All my friends keep telling me
Friends advising the presence of other potential relationships.
That there's more fish in that blue sea
Emphasizing the abundance of options in the dating pool.
But I'm still caught up, tangled tight
Despite advice, feeling emotionally entangled and unable to move on.
In taking you for granted blew my chance to make it right
Reflecting on past mistakes and realizing the missed opportunity to make things right.
(When I'm) hung up on you
Reiterating the emotional attachment and the persistence of feelings.
Bet I've called you back a million times since then
Highlighting the frequent attempts to reconnect, expressing persistence.
Still I can't get through
Acknowledging difficulty in establishing communication, suggesting a lack of forgiveness from the other person.
Kinda sounds like no forgiveness on your end
Suspecting a lack of forgiveness or openness on the other person's part.
Filled my phone with names and numbers that I can't talk myself into
Filling life with distractions and other connections that fail to measure up to the original relationship.
Since I hung up on you
Reflecting on the impact of the decision to end the relationship.
(CHORUS)
Reintroduction of chorus, repeating the theme of advice from friends.
All my friends keep telling me
Friends reiterating the availability of other potential partners.
That there's more fish in that blue sea
Highlighting the abundance of opportunities in the dating world.
But I'm still caught up, tangled tight
Despite external advice, still feeling emotionally tied and regretful about missed chances.
In taking you for granted blew my chance to make it right
Acknowledging the past mistakes and the impact on the relationship.
Hung up on you
Reiterating the emotional attachment using a different metaphor, an old Corona poster.
Like that old Corona poster on the wall
Comparing the emotional attachment to a persistent image on the wall.
Same old bar same old stool
Describing the familiarity and routine of attempting to move on in a bar.
Same old trying to drown your memory 'til last call
Using alcohol to cope with memories until the end of the night.
Getting over my hangover
Expressing the ability to overcome a physical hangover but struggling with emotional attachment.
Now that's something I can do
Recognizing the challenge of moving on from the emotional connection.
But damn this hung up on you
Expressing frustration with the persistent emotional attachment despite efforts to overcome it.
Like my hopes on you'll come back
Comparing hopes of reconciliation to hanging onto something fleeting.
Least for your cross on my rearview
Referencing a symbol of faith or commitment still present in the rearview mirror.
I'm hung up you
Reiterating the emotional attachment and the difficulty of moving on.
Yeah girl I'm hung up on you
Affirming the persistence of feelings despite the challenges.
