Lyrics
My momma says that I've got a rotten mouth
Reflecting on criticism from the speaker's mother about their language.
Says if I talk like that no one'll wanna stick around
Mother's concern that the speaker's language may drive people away.
Maybe she's right but here you are
Acknowledging the presence of someone despite the perceived negativity.
For the tenth night in a row
Noticing the consistent presence of the person for ten consecutive nights.
But I like your mom too much to not go buy a bar of soap
Humorously considering buying soap due to the mother's comment on language.
Used to fall asleep unconscious out before I closed my eyes
Reflecting on past behavior of falling asleep without awareness.
I was losing all my clarity in the lows between the highs
Describing a period of emotional turbulence and confusion.
Tonight I won't I swear to god
Committing to maintaining clarity and consciousness tonight.
Now even that's a lie
Admitting the likelihood of breaking the commitment.
But I'd break all of my bad habits if it keeps you by my side
Expressing a willingness to change for the sake of the relationship.
I know you'd stay either way
Acknowledging that the person would stay regardless of the speaker's actions.
But if it buys me another day
Considering making positive changes to buy more time with the person.
I'd drop it all
Willingness to give up everything for the relationship.
Call it quits
Expressing a readiness to end negative habits for the person.
Cause it sure as hell ain't worth it if you're gone
Stating the relationship is not worth it without the person.
So I'm on my best behavior so you don't run
Committing to behaving well to prevent the person from leaving.
I had all the best intentions with the way I lived my life
Reflecting on past intentions in life and the speaker's mindset.
But I couldn't want much more always got you on my mind
Constantly thinking about the person despite previous life choices.
Be brand new and not look back
Desire for a fresh start without dwelling on the past.
You still love all I lack
Recognition that the person loves the speaker despite shortcomings.
And I know that you aren't asking but you mean more than all that
Acknowledging the person's importance in the speaker's life.
And I just want to see you in the snow
Expressing a desire to experience intimate moments with the person.
Kiss you through your blonde hair in your yellow coat
Imagining a romantic scene with the person in the snow.
Oh I know it's getting later
Acknowledging the progression of time in the evening.
Is it too early to say you're all I want
Wondering if it's too early to express deep feelings for the person.
So I'm on my best behavior
Committing to maintaining good behavior for the person.
Even though you'd stay either way
Reiterating that the person would stay regardless of the speaker's actions.
But if it buys me another day
Considering positive changes to prolong the relationship.
I'd drop it all
Willingness to give up everything for the relationship, again.
Call it quits
Expressing readiness to end negative habits for the person, again.
Cause it sure as hell ain't worth it if you're gone
Reiterating that the relationship is not worth it without the person.
So I'm on my best behavior so you don't run
Committing once more to behaving well to prevent the person from leaving.
So I'm on my best behavior
Repeating the commitment to best behavior for the person.
Hoping you'll let me stay for
Expressing hope for more time with the person before their departure.
Even just one more day before you're gone
Desire for an extended stay with the person, emphasizing urgency.
