Lyrics
And here's to the boys
Toast to the male individuals
To everyone that you meet
Extend greetings to everyone encountered
You tell them they're all just as sweet
Assert that they are all equally pleasant
Just not as much as me
Except not as much as the speaker
And here's to the voice that has never left my ear
Acknowledge an enduring inner voice
Sometimes, I stop and I swear
Pause and reflect, affirming clarity
That it's still as clear as the day that I...
Recall leaving someone emotionally entangled
I left you tangled up in red
Reference to a previous emotional state
With your thoughts wrapped inside your head
Describe the internal turmoil within
I stopped your voice
Interrupted their ability to communicate
I gave you a piece of my mind
Express giving a portion of one's thoughts
We tried to find all the reasons that we left
Attempt to understand the reasons for separation
No one ever could have guessed
Highlight the unexpected nature of departure
You were the one to leave your heart
Indicate the other person as the one who left emotionally
And I guess that's where we fell out of control
Recognize a loss of control in the relationship
I left you hanging by a thread
Visualize leaving the person in a vulnerable state
Our mess laid out across your bed
Depict the aftermath of the emotional mess
I stopped your breath and you screamed right through your throat
Describe a moment of silencing and distress
With all those words you left unsaid
Highlight unspoken words in the aftermath
You kept me reaching for the stars
Acknowledge the influence of the other person
I saw your scars and I had to let you know
Observe visible emotional wounds
That I hope to God you find out where you are
Express a desire for the other person's self-discovery
'Cause I just want to be just where you are
Express a longing to be with the other person
You know that I'll be here still waiting for your call
Affirm continued availability and waiting
And if you kept your eyes closed tightly
Suggest finding the speaker with closed eyes
Then I promise you would find me
Promise the speaker's presence in the bloodstream
Racing through your veins
Describe a metaphorical journey through the veins
To find a way back to the place
Seek a return to a shared secret place
Where we kept all of our secrets
Express a hope that the message is heard
And I hope that you can hear this
Reference to a distant location
Wherever you may be
Express a wish for attentive reception
I fucking hope you're listening
Strongly desire acknowledgment during a late-night call
Late night, phone call
Reference to a late-night phone call
