Drink You Away
Breaking Free from Gypsy Souls: Drink You Away by Josh Meloy
Lyrics
I tried to drink you away, a time or two
The speaker attempted to use alcohol to forget or overcome thoughts of someone.
Staring at the bottom of my glass
The speaker is contemplating their emotions while looking at the bottom of their drink.
Hey back in the day it used to be me and you
Reflecting on the past when the speaker and the person used to be together.
Now we're through
The relationship has ended, and the speaker expresses relief or gratitude for the outcome.
Thank God it turned out like that
Grateful that things turned out the way they did.
'Cause you change your mind like
Highlighting the person's tendency to frequently change their decisions.
You change your clothes
Comparing the person's changing decisions to changing clothes.
Running out everyone you know
Accusing the person of alienating or abandoning everyone in their life.
You had a Gypsy soul, no telling where you go
Describing the person as having a free-spirited and unpredictable nature.
And I guess I'm better off alone
The speaker believes they are better off without the person.
And I tried to drink you away again
Reiterating the attempt to use alcohol to forget the person.
But I'm having more fun with my friends
Finding more enjoyment and fulfillment in the company of friends than in trying to forget the person.
You're just a burden that I don't want
Expressing the person as a burden the speaker wants to avoid.
I packed my bags and now I'm done
The speaker has decided to move on by packing their bags.
'Cause you change your mind like
Repeating the observation of the person's frequent changes in decisions.
You change your clothes
Reiterating the comparison of the person's decision-making to changing clothes.
Running out everyone you know
Accusing the person of distancing themselves from everyone.
You had a Gypsy soul, no telling where you go
Describing the person's unpredictable nature with a reference to a Gypsy soul.
And I guess I'm better off alone
Reaffirming the speaker's belief that they are better off without the person.
And you change your mind like
Once again emphasizing the person's tendency to change their mind frequently.
You change your clothes
Reiterating the comparison of the person's decision-making to changing clothes.
'Cause you change your mind like
Repeating the observation of the person's frequent changes in decisions.
You change your clothes
Reiterating the comparison of the person's decision-making to changing clothes.
Running out everyone you know
Accusing the person of alienating or abandoning everyone in their life.
You had a Gypsy soul, no telling where you go
Describing the person as having a free-spirited and unpredictable nature.
And I guess I'm better off alone
Reaffirming the speaker's belief that they are better off without the person.
