Lyrics
Pedal to the metal, lane to lane
The speaker is driving fast, switching lanes.
Don’t really know where i’m 'bout to go
Feeling uncertain about their destination or future.
Phone ringing I can’t see the name
Receiving a call from an unknown caller.
Probably finna say that I changed though
Anticipating that the caller might accuse them of changing.
Shorty tripping gotta let her go
Considering ending a relationship with someone.
Or should I keep her cause i’m too alone
Debating whether to keep the person around due to loneliness.
Wrote a letter to my sober self
Writing a letter to their sober self, possibly before getting intoxicated.
Hope you get it 'fore the night gone
Hoping the sober self reads the letter before the night ends.
I got no time for emotions
Not willing to invest time in emotional matters.
Acting like I never cared
Acting indifferent despite caring in reality.
I’d be damned if another shorty ever think she can get in my head
Refusing to let anyone manipulate or affect their emotions.
The liquor be the new elixir
Alcohol has become a substitute for their emotional well-being.
I was sitting sipping on a bit of gin
Drinking gin and reminiscing about someone.
Reminiscing thinking 'bout you again
Thinking about the person they miss.
I never thought that you would do me like this
Feeling betrayed by the person they never expected betrayal from.
Never, never, never, never
Emphasizing disbelief or denial about the betrayal.
Picked up the phone and I called you last night
Attempting to call the person recently.
All I got was the dial tone
Receiving no response, feeling disconnected.
I suck at communicating and showing emotion
Struggling to express emotions and communicate effectively.
Our love is a milestone
Considering their relationship as a significant achievement.
Our love is intoxicated
Describing their love as overwhelming or consuming.
I know that you hate it
Aware that the person dislikes their dependence on alcohol.
I see that your smiles gone
Noticing the absence of happiness in the person.
Couple months until your miles gone
Realizing the impending departure of the person in a few months.
Stuck here just to fight lone, look
Feeling stuck and alone in dealing with the relationship issues.
Break up, make up
Describing the cycle of breaking up and making up.
It’s all a cycle like michael, i’m clutch in the fourth
Comparing the cycle to Michael Jordan's clutch performance in basketball.
Don’t wait up, stay up
Advising someone not to wait for them, as they're preoccupied.
Thinking 'bout things that gon’ stress me
Contemplating issues that cause stress.
I’m building up borders, i’m spilling emotions, I’m drowning my sorrows
Building emotional barriers, drowning sorrows in alcohol.
Too much of this potion, I won’t see tomorrow
Concerned about consuming too much alcohol, risking their future.
Been hoping that one day you let me just see you again
Hoping for a chance to meet the person again someday.
'Til then, i’m on my own
Currently facing their struggles alone until they meet the person.
Told me i’m cold but that’s how it go
Being perceived as emotionally distant, as it's necessary for self-preservation.
What do you want, don’t want you to go
Conflicted about the desire for the person to stay or leave.
Stay to the morning, I want you alone
Wishing for the person's company until morning, conflicting with solitude and alcohol.
Fuck it it’s me and this bottle alone
Choosing alcohol as their companion instead of the person.
One bottle
Counting the bottles consumed, implying intoxication.
Two bottle, hollow
Noting emptiness inside despite consuming alcohol.
Three bottle
Continuing to consume more alcohol recklessly.
Four bottle, full throttle
Reaching a state of complete intoxication.
Grim calling
Sensing a foreboding or an impending negative event.
I’m falling, sorrow
Feeling deeply immersed in sadness.
Can’t take it
Expressing an inability to endure the pain.
Won’t make it to tomorrow
Believing they won't survive until the next day due to despair.
