Lyrics

Any other time I'd be crossing lines

Expressing a willingness to take risks or break boundaries, but under different circumstances.

Pushing 85 headed down the highway

Driving fast at 85 miles per hour on the highway, possibly symbolizing a rush or urgency.

I'm a double shot bullet on the rocks

Comparing oneself to a powerful, fast projectile enjoying a drink on the rocks.

Never been too hard to put it all behind me

Usually easy to move on from things, but this time finding it challenging.

I've always been the one stirring up the dust cloud

Traditionally causing commotion and disturbance, now experiencing the consequences.

Guess I'm learning how it feels now

Learning how it feels to be on the receiving end of a disruptive situation.

I ain't ever seen gone like this

Expressing the unprecedented feeling of loss or departure.

All alone in the glow of your taillights

Feeling abandoned while watching the glow of someone else's taillights.

I ain't ever felt a goodbye hit

Experiencing an impactful and emotional goodbye.

Like it did tonight

Highlighting the intensity and depth of the emotional impact of the goodbye.

I've always been pedal down, headed out

Usually, always in a hurry to leave, but now dealing with a departure.

Lighting up that smoke

Engaging in a habitual act of smoking, possibly for contemplation.

But this time it's her down that road, yeah

Someone else taking the lead on the road usually traveled by the speaker.

I'm supposed to know how it goes when it ends

Expected to understand how relationships conclude, but uncertain in this case.

I ain't ever seen gone like this

Reiterating the unique and profound nature of the departure.

She didn't shed a tear throwing it in gear

Describing a departure without visible sadness, indicating emotional detachment.

Just left a couple years just fading in the rearview

Leaving behind a significant part of one's life without much emotional display.

And damn it hurts like a whiskey burn

Expressing the pain of heartbreak, akin to the sensation of a whiskey burn.

When the table's turned but girl I deserve it

Acknowledging that the speaker deserves the emotional pain they are experiencing.

I ain't ever seen gone like this

Reiterating the profound impact of the departure.

All alone in the glow of your taillights

Feeling abandoned while watching the glow of someone else's taillights.

I ain't ever felt a goodbye hit

Experiencing an impactful and emotional goodbye.

Like it did tonight

Highlighting the intensity and depth of the emotional impact of the goodbye.

I've always been pedal down, headed out

Usually, always in a hurry to leave, but now dealing with a departure.

Lighting up that smoke

Engaging in a habitual act of smoking, possibly for contemplation.

But this time it's her down that road, yeah

Someone else taking the lead on the road usually traveled by the speaker.

I'm supposed to know how it goes when it ends

Expected to understand how relationships conclude, but uncertain in this case.

I ain't ever seen gone like this

Reiterating the unique and profound nature of the departure.

I ain't ever seen gone like this

Expressing the unprecedented feeling of loss or departure.

All alone in the glow of your taillights

Feeling abandoned while watching the glow of someone else's taillights.

I ain't ever felt a goodbye hit

Experiencing an impactful and emotional goodbye.

Like it did tonight

Highlighting the intensity and depth of the emotional impact of the goodbye.

I've always been pedal down, headed out

Usually, always in a hurry to leave, but now dealing with a departure.

Lighting up that smoke

Engaging in a habitual act of smoking, possibly for contemplation.

But this time it's her down that road, yeah

Someone else taking the lead on the road usually traveled by the speaker.

I'm supposed to know how it goes when it ends

Expected to understand how relationships conclude, but uncertain in this case.

I ain't ever seen gone like this

Reiterating the unique and profound nature of the departure.

I ain't ever seen, I ain't ever seen gone like this

Expressing the unprecedented feeling of loss or departure.

Any other time I'd be crossing lines

Expressing a willingness to take risks or break boundaries, but under different circumstances.

Pushing 85 headed down the highway

Driving fast at 85 miles per hour on the highway, possibly symbolizing a rush or urgency.
