Disaster Case
Disaster Case: A Tale of Love Lost and Repetitive Heartache
Lyrics
I'm keeping my distance while you're sleeping alone. You're reaching for your keys if you're uneasy let go. If it happened one time it'll happen again.
I'm maintaining a physical and emotional distance while you're alone in bed. If you feel uncomfortable, it's better to let go and not hold onto the relationship.
Out of sight, but not out of mind, laying on the floor of the empty apartment you left me in. I'm a disaster case, left you with sour taste, can't expect You to shoulder the weight.
Even though you are out of my immediate view, you linger in my thoughts, especially in the empty apartment you abandoned. I acknowledge that I'm a mess, leaving you with a negative impression, and I don't expect you to bear the burden of our relationship.
If it happened one time, it's gonna happen again.
If a negative event occurred once, it's likely to repeat.
We let it slip right through our fingers, like the sand in an hour glass. It always lingers. You'll find a better me when you fall asleep.
We allowed our relationship to slip away like sand through an hourglass, and the memory always lingers. I believe you'll discover a better version of me in your dreams.
Out of sight, but not out of mind. I guess that I just wasn't enough if you're able to leave me behind.
Despite being out of sight, I realize I wasn't sufficient for you if you could easily leave me behind.
Sunday I sent a letter from nowhere. Hope this finds you well.
I sent a letter on a Sunday from an unspecified location, expressing well wishes and possibly trying to reconnect.
Oh but if it happened one time, you know its gonna, its gonna happen again.
If a negative event occurred once, it's inevitable that it will happen again.
We let it slip right through our fingers, like the sand in an hour glass. It always lingers. You'll find a better me when you fall asleep.
Similar to line 7, emphasizing the loss of the relationship and the hope that a better version of the speaker will be found in dreams.
Are you at home alone tonight? (Don't say it.) I'm such a fool for boys like you.

Are you at home alone tonight? (Don't say it.) Forget about our summer nights.
Similar to line 17, urging the listener to forget about shared memories, possibly from the summer.
Under the bright October stars (with you in my arms) I'm such a fool for you.
A declaration of foolishness for the listener under the bright stars in October, possibly a romantic setting.
We let it slip right through our fingers, like the sand in an hour glass. It always lingers. You'll find a better me when you fall asleep.
A repetition of the idea that the relationship slipped away, comparing it to sand in an hourglass, with the expectation of finding a better version in dreams.
I'm keeping my distance while you're sleeping alone. You're reaching for your keys if you're uneasy, let go. If it happened one time it'll happen again.
Reiteration of the initial lines, emphasizing the potential repetition of negative events if they happened once.
