Lyrics
Sleep a little too late on a Sunday
Delaying waking up late, possibly indicating a relaxed attitude or reluctance to start the week.
Get a little too buzzed on a Monday
Drinking excessively on a Monday, suggesting a disregard for typical social norms or schedules.
We're a little bit much in a good way
Describing the couple as being a bit overwhelming or intense in a positive way.
Your momma says I got way too many tattoos
Acknowledging criticism from the partner's mother regarding the speaker's abundance of tattoos.
Friends keep telling me one day she's gonna leave you
Friends warning that the partner might leave due to the speaker's behavior or lifestyle.
Call in sick when we're both just kickin it
Skipping work to spend time together casually or leisurely.
Oh
Expressing a sentiment, possibly an emotional response or realization.
We can make a mess, pretty little miss
Implying they can create disorder or chaos, but it's endearing.
Yea we know, got holes in my jeans, tears in your dress
Describing their appearance with imperfections, yet embracing them.
When we drink, it's a little too much
Drinking habits being a bit excessive or beyond moderation.
When we fight we wake the neighborhood up
When they argue, it becomes noisy enough to disturb the neighbors.
And even if we break, we got, you and me, and a little scotch tape
Even amidst difficulties or potential breakups, they rely on each other and metaphorically 'scotch tape' to hold things together.
Closing down every bar on 6th street
Closing bars on a specific street, implying a frequent or habitual late-night lifestyle.
Ran my mouth, now some dude wanna fight me
Conflict arises from the speaker's actions leading to potential confrontation.
Taking shots, taking shots, and now you're dancing on the table, yea thats my baby
Partner is engaging in playful or carefree behavior despite the situation.
Oh
Expressing a sentiment, possibly an emotional response or realization (repeated).
We can make a mess, pretty little miss
Similar to line 10, highlighting the couple's tendency to create disorder but finding it charming.
Yea we know, got holes in my jeans, tears in your dress
Referencing their appearances again, embracing imperfections.
When we drink, it's a little too much
Reiterating excessive drinking habits.
When we fight we wake the neighborhood up
When they argue, it becomes loud enough to disturb the neighborhood (repeated).
And even if we break, we got, you and me, and a little scotch tape
Despite challenges or cracks in the relationship, they rely on each other ('you and me') and metaphorically 'scotch tape' to mend things.
