Lyrics
It took a full moon to find a smooth sea
Encountering a calm sea under a full moon.
you broke the dead calm when you showed up last week
Disruption of tranquility with someone's arrival.
I could almost taste your cherry lip stick
Sensing the presence of someone through their cherry lipstick.
And the fire in your eyes almost melted my resistance
Feeling the intensity in the other person's eyes.
But I won't let your smile
Resisting the allure of the person's smile.
Get me off track again
Committing to staying on course despite distractions.
Or follow your sweet perfume
Avoiding the temptation represented by the person.
Back to your bed
Rejecting the idea of returning to a romantic relationship.
The tides have changed and I'm wiser
Acknowledging personal growth and wisdom due to past experiences.
To all the games that you play
Awareness of past manipulative behavior in the relationship.
This time I won't let my guard down
Determined not to be vulnerable again.
And make a fool's mistake
Learning from previous mistakes to avoid being foolish.
I'm staying stone cold sober
Choosing to remain emotionally detached and clear-headed.
Won't let temptation prevail
Resisting the pull of temptation and staying strong.
Your grip is gone this is over
Declaring the end of the emotional grip the person had.
That ship has sailed
Emphasizing the finality of the relationship - "That ship has sailed."
That ship has sailed
Reiteration of the irreversible nature of the separation.
I was your ego boost
Being used as a boost to someone's ego.
The one in between your
Being in between two of the person's relationships.
last ex and the next one on the scene
Describing the role played in the person's romantic history.
I gave you all I had the last time around
Investing fully in the past relationship.
so don't try to reel me when life's not working out
Rejecting attempts to reconcile when the person's life is challenging.
If your missing the kissing and love that I gave
Warning the person about longing for past affection.
You should've thought twice before walking away
Expressing regret for not appreciating the relationship earlier.
The tides have changed and I'm wiser
Reiterating personal growth and resistance to manipulation.
To all the games that you play
Acknowledging past deceptive behavior by the person.
This time I won't let my guard down
Committing to maintaining emotional boundaries.
And make a fool's mistake
Learning from past errors to avoid repeating them.
I'm staying stone cold sober
Remaining emotionally composed and not succumbing to temptation.
Won't let temptation prevail
Refusing to let desires take control.
Your grip is gone this is over
Announcing the end of the person's influence.
That ship has sailed
Emphasizing the irreversible nature of the separation.
So You take me off your list
Instructing the person to remove them from their life.
Forget that I exist
Emphasizing the need to forget and move on.
Cus I'll be just fine
Expressing self-assurance and resilience after the breakup.
Erase my number off your phone
Requesting removal from the person's contacts.
Cus Even if I'm alone
Asserting independence and well-being even when alone.
I'm better without you in my life
Stating that life is better without the person.
The tides have changed and I'm wiser
Reaffirming personal growth and wisdom from past experiences.
To all the games that you play
Recognizing and rejecting manipulative behaviors from the past.
This time I won't let my guard down
Reiterating the commitment to emotional resilience.
And make a fool's mistake
Avoiding repeating past mistakes and remaining cautious.
I'm staying stone cold sober
Staying clear-headed and resisting temptations.
Won't let temptation prevail
Asserting control over desires and avoiding pitfalls.
Your grip is gone this is over
Declaring the end of the person's emotional hold.
That ship has sailed
Final confirmation of the irreversible end of the relationship.
That ship has sailed
-That ship has sailed
-yeah yeah yeah
