Lyrics
It's been awhile, and looking back
Reflecting on the past after a while
I keep losing track of how long it's been
Difficulty in keeping track of time passed
And who left who again, and since when
Uncertainty about who initiated the breakup and when
The little hand is on the one
Noting the time on a clock
And I have just begun to suck on a lime
Metaphorical action of starting something new
And start learning to tell time
Learning and adapting to new experiences
I started feeling low a beer ago
Feeling down for a while (about the duration of drinking a beer)
And in about a gin and tonic or two
Expectation of feeling worse after more drinks
I'll be a blue Hawaiian away from crying for you
Reaching a point where emotions might overwhelm (using a cocktail as a measure)
Two martinis from now it won't matter much anyhow
Realization that current concerns won't matter after a couple more drinks
I started to overflow two martinis ago
Emotional overflow from drinking two martinis
I couldn't last one gimlet more
Inability to handle more of a particular drink (gimlet)
But I've still got time for a sob and a sigh
Time for sorrow despite ongoing drinking
And one more whisky and rye just went by
Another drink passed by, indicating continued consumption
The little hand is on the two
Noting the time on the clock again
I wonder what I'll do if it gets to three
Uncertainty about reaction if time progresses further
How many teardrops will that be?
Speculating about the potential for more tears
I bow my head and pray to be ok
Seeking solace or peace
And in a half a Manhattan or so
Planning to consume more drinks as a form of coping or distraction
I'll have two our fathers and one bloody mary to go
Humorous reference to prayers and more drinks
Two martinis hence it might start to make some sense
Expectation that things might become clearer after more drinks
I unsealed my fate one fifth of bourbon too late
Regret over past actions possibly related to alcohol
the little hand is on the three
Noting the time's progression on the clock again
How many teardrops will it be
Questioning emotional impact if time continues passing
Till I collapse and your memory's under wraps?
Speculating on emotional breakdown as memories resurface
there's so much getting through to catch up to
Feeling overwhelmed by catching up on missed emotions or experiences
I'm still four white Russians behind
Lagging behind in emotional processing
I feel a Jim Beam shining on me
Sense of influence or impact from drinking
I might be losing my mind
Concern about mental stability due to alcohol consumption
In a teardrop or two it'll be time to get over you
Expectation of emotional healing in the near future
And I'll figure out just how two martinis from now
Anticipating clarity or resolution after two more drinks
