Can't Find The Time To Dream
Heart's Loaded Battle: A Melodic Struggle in Drake Grammer's Verse
Lyrics
I got a half shot heart and a mind like a loaded gun
I have a partially wounded heart and a mind filled with tension.
All of this lead has got me feeling numb
The weight of various experiences has made me emotionally numb.
I got nowhere to hide but I got a place to run
I have no refuge, but I have an escape route.
I got a half shot heart and a mind like a loaded gun
Reiteration of having a wounded heart and a tense mind.
If I give her too little then it's not enough
Fear of providing too little in a relationship, resulting in inadequacy.
If I give her too much then I'm empty as a drum
Fear of giving too much and feeling emotionally drained.
If she was like whiskey I'd get drunk on her
Comparing the person to whiskey, suggesting she is intoxicating.
Leave me wanting little more with every word I slur
Desire for more from the person with each intoxicated, slurred word.
Like a Marlboro red I'm dying to catch my breath
Comparison to a Marlboro red, expressing a desperate need for relief.
All these nerves I can't seem to quit
Struggling with persistent nervousness.
Lying next to her has got me feeling weak
Being close to her makes the speaker vulnerable and weak.
I just stare at the walls I don't even blink
Unable to divert attention, captivated by inner thoughts.
These sleepless nights have got the best of me
Sleepless nights are negatively affecting the speaker.
I can't even find the time to dream
Unable to find time for positive, restful dreams.
If she was like whiskey I'd get drunk on her
Reiteration of the person being compared to whiskey.
Leave me wanting little more with every word I slur
Continued desire for more from the person through slurred words.
Like a Marlboro red I'm dying to catch my breath
Repetition of the intense need for relief, comparing to a Marlboro red.
All these nerves I can't seem to quit
Ongoing struggle with persistent nervousness.
Yeah I got a half shot heart and a mind like a loaded gun
Restating the condition of having a partially wounded heart and a tense mind.
All of this lead has got me feeling numb
Reiterating the emotional numbness caused by various experiences.
I got nowhere to hide but I got a place to run
Having no place to hide but possessing an escape route.
I got a half shot heart and a mind like a loaded gun
Final repetition of having a partially wounded heart and a tense mind.
