Lyrics
Champagne glass
Reference to celebration and luxury
And a Merlot wine
Reference to a type of red wine
With an old man
Describing a scene with an elderly man
Staring at his broken time
Symbolizing a sense of regret or loss of time
Got my t shirt on
Contrasting casual attire with a formal occasion
When it's suit and tie
Contradiction between appearance and reality
But I showed up late
Being tardy to an event and questioning the guest list
Who did you invite
Questioning social connections
Someone asked me
Someone urging the speaker to save their soul
To save my soul
Declining the offer as the soul is already dedicated to music
I said I already gave it to the radio
Emphasizing commitment to the radio as a form of escape
There's a ripped off cord
Symbolizing a disrupted connection to television
To my TV screen
Reference to a damaged TV cord and a rebellious message
With a note saying
Expressing fearlessness in pursuing dreams
I'm not afraid to dream
Choosing to live freely and unconventionally
Living how we wanna
Embracing a non-traditional lifestyle
Speeding through the life
Living life with speed and intensity
Crazy something normal
Emphasizing the eccentricity within normality
We don't need advice
Rejecting the need for conventional advice
Living in the color
Choosing a vibrant and diverse existence
There's no black and white
Rejecting a binary, black-and-white perspective
Crazy something normal
Embracing an unconventional yet normal lifestyle
We're taking off tonight
Indicating a departure or escape
The good die young
Acknowledging the unpredictability of life
We all know that
Accepting the reality that good things may not last
And I'm glad
Expressing relief in avoiding a heroic facade
I don't play the hero act
Rejecting the role of a hero
Got my tax check back
Receiving a tax refund and taking a risk
And I bet on black
Taking a chance with optimism
I'll be here next year
Committing to a future despite uncertainties
Trying to win it back
Facing challenges and aiming for recovery
When they ask
Responding to inquiries about personal achievements
What did you invent
Offering unconventional advice about perception
Tell them how to see the world through a limo tint
Encouraging a unique perspective through metaphor
'Cause there's a ripped off cord
Reiterating the damaged TV cord as a symbol of defiance
To my TV screen
Persisting in the face of challenges
Because I will never
Asserting fearlessness in pursuing dreams
Be afraid to dream
Emphasizing the commitment to dream without hesitation
If you don't know where come follow me
Inviting others to join in the unconventional journey
If you don't know where come follow me
Repetition for emphasis on extending an invitation
In the midnight air no I don't sleep
Describing a wakeful and active state in the nighttime
If you don't know where come follow me
Reiterating the invitation to follow the speaker
