Lyrics
Too bad I don't get my own way
Expressing disappointment at not getting what they want
Want champagne, all they got is cabernet
Desiring champagne but only finding cabernet, feeling unsatisfied
And I'm wastin' all my time
Feeling like time is being wasted
I feel good but there's a tear in my eye
Feeling conflicted—physically good but emotionally distressed
Rain fallin' from a cloudless sky
Experiencing an unexpected sadness or negativity in a seemingly positive situation
I get high, forget about it all
Using getting high as a means to escape or forget about problems
Red lights flashin' behind my cracked up rearview mirror
Feeling pursued or haunted by past mistakes or troubles
Thunder crashin' down and screamin' in my ear
Experiencing intense and distressing situations (symbolized by thunder)
I guess I drew a bad card somewhere down the line
Feeling unlucky or having made poor choices in life
And I never win my money all back
Consistently losing in a situation involving money or luck
I'm only here for a limited time
Awareness of limited time or mortality
Probably see me hangin' around by the railroad tracks
Spending time in a desolate or abandoned area, possibly feeling disconnected or lost
I get high
Reiterating the use of getting high as an escape from reality
We used to have a house down by the shore
Recalling past memories of a house by the shore
Every night we'd take a walk to the liquor store
Engaging in routine activities (like going to the liquor store) as a couple
And we'd get wasted all the time
Spending excessive time in a state of intoxication
I hit the city when I lost ya girl
Turning to the city to cope after losing someone significant
Not so pretty it's a different world
Realizing that the city is not as attractive or comforting as before
I get high, forget about it all
Reiterating the use of getting high as a means to forget
Red lights flashin' behind my cracked up rearview mirror
Continuing to feel pursued or haunted by past mistakes or troubles
Thunder crashin' down and screamin' in my ear
Experiencing intense and distressing situations (symbolized by thunder)
I guess I drew a bad card somewhere down the line
Feeling unlucky or having made poor choices in life
And I never win my money all back
Consistently losing in a situation involving money or luck
I'm only here for a limited time
Awareness of limited time or mortality
And then I got a bag to pack
Implying a need to leave or move on from a situation
I'm goin' down
Repetition of the phrase "I'm goin' down" possibly indicating a downward spiral or worsening situation
I'm goin' down
-I'm goin' down
-I'm goin' down
-Too bad I don't get my own way
Expressing disappointment at not getting what they want
Maybe you and me can try to get together some day
Expressing hope for a future connection with someone
Because I'm wastin' all my time
Feeling like time is being wasted
I feel good but there's a tear in my eye
Feeling conflicted—physically good but emotionally distressed
Rain fallin' from a cloudless sky
Experiencing an unexpected sadness or negativity in a seemingly positive situation
I get high, forget about it all
Reiterating the use of getting high as an escape from reality
I get high, forget about it all
-I get high, forget about it all
