Kiss Me When I'm Down
Emotional Rollercoaster: Love, Loss, and Longing in Gary Allan's Melodic Tale
Lyrics
It's been a year since last weekend when you swung by with an old friend
Reflecting on a year since the last encounter with the person, mentioning the visit with an old friend.
Carried out our future box by box
Describing the process of separating belongings and moving on from the relationship.
Stack of mail a tube of toothpaste
List of items left behind, emphasizing the mundane and personal aspects of the separation.
An empty zeppelin three cd case
Specific mention of an empty music CD case, symbolizing the absence of shared memories.
Still a few things here that you forgot
Noting the presence of things left behind by the person, indicating unfinished business or unresolved feelings.
They're just a bad excuse
Referring to the remaining items as a flimsy excuse to keep a connection, perhaps out of longing or attachment.
Just something I can use
Suggesting that these remnants serve as something the singer can use to maintain contact.
To call you
Expressing the desire to call the person using any pretext, highlighting a yearning for communication.
Come on over
Inviting the person to visit, consume resources, and share moments, even if based on lies or deception.
Drink my wine
-Waste my candles
-Waste my time
-Tell me lies I won't believe
-Just don't wake me when you leave
-Come on over
Repeating the invitation with a focus on physical and emotional vulnerability, asking for a kiss during tough times.
Kick me to the ground
-Kiss me when I'm down
-The bar you're in sounds like it's crowded
-People laughin' people shouting
-Where you gonna go at closing time
-Just pay your tab
-And I'll pay your cab
-If you want to
-Come on over
-Drink my wine
-Waste my candles
-Waste my time
-Tell me lies I won't believe
-Just don't wake me when you leave
-Come on over
-Kick me to the ground
-Kiss me when I'm down
-Just an hour or two
Expressing the sentiment that even a brief encounter is better than being without the person.
Is better than none of you
-I miss you
-Come on over
Reiterating the invitation, emphasizing the willingness to endure pain (being kicked to the ground) for the sake of a kiss when feeling down.
Drink my wine
-Waste my candles
-Waste my time
-Tell me lies I won't believe
-Just don't wake me when you leave
-Come on over
-Kick me to the ground
-Kiss me when I'm down
-Kiss me when I'm down
