Lyrics
Two drinks in and things are on the awkward side
Under the influence of two drinks, the situation feels uncomfortable or tense.
Is everything alright
Asking if everything is okay.
Can we skip the part where you fall apart
Requesting to avoid the emotional breakdown and directly express what needs to be said.
And just say it
Encouraging direct communication of the unspoken.
It's a long way home down the darkest roads
Describing the lengthy journey back home through difficult times or situations.
Just stay tonight in some cheap motel
Suggesting staying together for the night in a less expensive hotel.
We can sleep with our faces turned away
Imagining a scenario where they sleep facing away from each other, avoiding discussion.
And not say it
Choosing not to articulate what needs to be said.
Those old dull knives
Metaphorically referring to past painful experiences that resurface and hurt again.
They open up new wounds
Reopening emotional wounds with familiar triggers.
The only thing left
Only remnants remaining are unspoken words.
Are the words we left unsaid
Unspoken words that linger and contribute to the current situation.
Who's brave enough
Asking who is courageous enough to initiate conversation and end the silence.
To be the first to break the silence
Expressing the need for someone to take the first step in breaking the silence.
I needed you to know
Expressing a personal need for the other person to understand something important.
I need this too
Affirming the necessity of the situation for oneself as well.
It's okay if you blame me
Accepting responsibility if the other person blames oneself.
I blame me for everything
Taking accountability for everything that happened.
Let's skip to the part
Suggesting a desire to move past the current state to a more intense confrontation.
Where our faces burn away
Expressing the intensity of emotions reaching a critical point.
Oh god, please just say it
Pleading for the other person to express what needs to be said.
Why won't you just say it
Expressing frustration at the other person's reluctance to communicate.
Those old dull knives
Similar to lines 9 and 10, indicating the retriggering of old painful memories.
They open up new wounds
Reopening emotional wounds that have been experienced before.
The only thing left
Emphasizing that what remains unsaid are the most important things.
Are the words we left unsaid
Reiteration of unspoken words that continue to impact the present.
Who's brave enough
Asking who has the courage to initiate dialogue and end the silence.
To be the first to break the silence
Reinforcing the need for someone to take the first step in breaking the silence.
I needed you to know
Expressing a personal need for the other person to understand something important.
I need this too
Affirming the necessity of the situation for oneself as well.
We knew this had to happen someday
Acknowledging an anticipated outcome or eventuality in their relationship.
We knew we had an expiration date
Acknowledging a predetermined end to their relationship.
Just say it
Reiterating the plea for direct communication of unspoken matters.
We knew this had to happen someday
Repeating the acknowledgment of the inevitable end in their relationship.
We knew we had an expiration date

Just say it
