Don’t make a scene or rub it in my face
Request to avoid drawing attention or emphasizing a sensitive issue.
Like your dancing on the grave

Of hunches that I had and smoked away
Reflecting on lost opportunities and decisions made impulsively or without foresight.
It’s too slow, like novocaine
Describing a slow and numbing experience, possibly related to emotional pain.
Take me back to when I felt okay
Nostalgia for a time when the speaker felt emotionally stable or content.

We’re not the same

It’s crawling underneath my skin

If moving on is the medicine

Hold hold the phone
