Lyrics

I knew the moment we went out to score

I recognized the moment we went out to obtain drugs.

That by the evening we would buy some more

I anticipated that by the evening, we would acquire more substances.

And although we'd find a fix, our voids have quite the need

Even though the drugs provide a temporary solution, our inner emptiness still exists.

To find within ourselves what's incomplete

We seek to discover what's missing within ourselves.

And while we come down

While the influence of the drugs diminishes,

Into a coma

We descend into a state of unconsciousness.

Race me to go far

A metaphorical race to escape reality and go far from our current situation.

Leave Arizona

Suggesting leaving Arizona, possibly representing leaving a problematic situation or location.

There's one where you are

There's a better place or state of being where you are.

As the starjump shoots the shit while on the shutdown

A starjump, possibly a metaphor for a drug-induced state, engages in conversation during a period of inactivity.

As we lose ourselves again and stay here for sundown

We lose ourselves again in the pursuit of pleasure and choose to stay until sundown.

We'll make a pact and say we'll do no wrong

A commitment to each other to refrain from wrongdoing.

Without each other we'd be chasing dogs

Emphasizing the dependency on each other, implying that without the other, they would be lost.

And those who see us as a nasty sort of team

Perceived negatively by some as a troublesome team, but they haven't conformed to societal norms.

At least we haven't found a fashion scheme

Despite criticism, they haven't adopted a superficial or conventional lifestyle.

While we come down

Similar to line 5, descending into a state of unconsciousness.

Into a coma

Repetition of line 6, emphasizing the descent into unconsciousness.

Race me to go far

Reiteration of the desire to escape and go far.

Leave Arizona

Reiteration of the idea of leaving a current undesirable situation.

There's one where you are

Reaffirmation that a better place exists where the other person is.

As the starjump shoots the shit while on the shutdown

Similar to line 10, engaging in drug-induced conversation during a period of inactivity.

While we sell ourselves again and stay here for sundown

Repetition of line 11, emphasizing the choice to stay until sundown.

Stay here for sundown

Repeated emphasis on staying until sundown, possibly symbolizing a moment of clarity or resolution.

Stay here for sundown

-

Stay here for sundown

-

Stay here for sundown

-

Stay here for sundown

-

Stay here for sundown

-

We're never late

Asserting that they are never late, possibly implying they are always present for each other.
