Never Could
Breaking Boundaries: Josh Gallagher's 'Never Could' Unveils a Journey of Transformation
Lyrics
Turn down another shot of whiskey
Declining another shot of whiskey
Close out and stop at just three
Choosing to stop drinking at three shots
I never could
Expressing an inability to change this behavior
Pump the brakes on the old gray Chevy
Slowing down the old gray Chevy
Find a place less temporary
Searching for a more permanent place
I never could
Acknowledging a difficulty in making lasting decisions
Never could change just for myself
Unable to change solely for personal reasons
Tame my reckless raising hell
Struggling to control reckless and rebellious behavior
Curb the urge that kept me burning up the backwoods
Fighting the impulse to engage in wild activities
Never could see me letting you close
Unwilling to let someone get emotionally close
Baby my heart was Jericho
Comparing the heart to the walls of Jericho (difficult to breach)
Till you broke the walls down
Referring to the walls being broken down by someone
Moved in and found the good
Discovering the positive aspects after emotional walls are broken
That I never could
Reiterating the inability to discover these positives independently
Together we can win the battles
Expressing joint strength to overcome challenges
Shine the light, beat back the shadows
Facing difficulties with resilience and optimism
I never could
Repeating the theme of personal limitations
With your holy hands holding mine
Highlighting unity and support through holding hands
I’m letting go of this lonely life for good
Choosing to leave behind a solitary life
Never could change just for myself
Reiterating the challenge of personal change
Tame my reckless raising hell
Struggling with self-discipline and rebellious tendencies
Curb the urge that kept me burning up the backwoods
Fighting against the urge to engage in risky behavior
Never could see me letting you close
Resisting emotional closeness with others
Baby my heart was Jericho
Comparing the heart to the walls of Jericho again
Till you broke the walls down
Acknowledging emotional barriers being broken down
Moved in and found the good
Discovering the positive aspects after emotional walls are broken (repeated)
That I never could
Reiterating the inability to discover these positives independently (repeated)
