What I've Been Drinking
Melancholic Reflections: Unraveling Ethan Charles' Emotional Journey
Lyrics
I'm missing my baby at home,
I am feeling the absence of my significant other at home.
I know she'll keep me true while I'm gone,
I believe she will remain faithful to me while I am away.
And I'm praying that she don't make a fool of me,
I hope she doesn't embarrass or deceive me in my absence.
My neighbor's been waiting on me to leave.
My neighbor is anticipating my departure, possibly for some ulterior motive.
And I'll grant you the benefit of the doubt in my room,
I am willing to trust you in my room, despite uncertainties.
You won't cut me in half before I'm broken in two,
I expect you not to harm me emotionally before I am already vulnerable.
And I've waited long enough and the tears have been lingering;
I've waited for a significant amount of time, and tears have been persistently present.
I'm knowing you know just what I've been thinking.
I know you are aware of my thoughts and feelings.
I'm tired, I'm hungry, and I'm bored,
I am fatigued, hungry, and bored.
And I hate to complain but I love to make a lot of noise.
I don't like complaining, but I enjoy making noise.
There's a pain in my chest and I know there's one in yours.
I sense pain in my chest, and I acknowledge there might be pain in yours.
I don't trust that man, I never did before.
I do not trust a particular man, and I never did.
I've been hanging on every last and first word.
I've been carefully listening to every word you say.
I've been losing sleep, sweating long, chasing birds,
I've been losing sleep and putting in effort, chasing after elusive goals or desires.
you don't know how much it hurts to love you babe.
Loving you causes considerable pain.
And I've been hanging on lockdown, pending a breakdown,
I've been emotionally restricted, awaiting a breakdown.
You think I've got doubts, I've never been more sure.
Contrary to what you may think, I have never been more certain.
It's the way that you walk, and it's the i's that you dot,
Attributes like your walk, your attention to detail, and your choices affect me.
And it's the legs that keep you dancing, or your lips when you talk,
Your movements and words have a significant impact.
And it's the blues or it's the game you choose,
Whether it's sadness or a strategic move, it influences me.
But I'm praying that she don't make a fool of me.
Reiteration of the hope that the significant other doesn't deceive.
And I'll grant you the benefit of the doubt in my room,
Trusting you in my room despite uncertainties.
You won't cut me in half before I'm broken in two,
Expectation not to be emotionally harmed before vulnerability.
And I've waited long enough and the tears have been lingering;
Having waited enough, tears persist, and you are aware of my thoughts.
I'm knowing you know just what I've been thinking.
Emphasizing that you are cognizant of my thoughts.
I'm knowing you know just what I've been drinking.
Highlighting that you are aware of my drinking habits.
I'm knowing you know just what I've been thinking.
Emphasizing that you understand my thoughts.
