Lyrics
It's been two months, four days
It has been two months and four days since any significant change occurred around here.
Since anything around here's changed
The only change made was fixing the lock on the backdoor, and the grass no longer needs to be cut.
Except I fixed the lock on the backdoor
Reflecting on the time passed, emphasizing the mundane alterations in the environment.
And the grass don't need cut anymore
Highlighting the lack of need to tend to the lawn, possibly symbolizing neglect or stagnation.
Everyone said I’d be just fine
Recounting assurances from others that the narrator will be fine after a breakup.
But how much time is enough time
Raising the question of how much time is sufficient to convince oneself that the ex-partner won't return.
To convince myself she ain't coming back
Expressing the difficulty in accepting the idea that the ex-partner won't come back.
Cuz right now all I can think is that she
Current preoccupation with thoughts of the ex-partner not returning.
Hit traffic on the interstate
Suggesting possible reasons for the delay, such as traffic or work-related issues.
Missed an exit, or had to work late
Imagining scenarios where the ex-partner missed an exit or had to work late.
Or she’s in the drive with the radio on
Speculating that the ex-partner might be in the driveway with the radio on.
‘Cause she wants to hear the end of that song
Describing a scenario where the ex-partner wants to hear the end of a song in the car.
She could’ve ran into an old friend
Considering the possibility of the ex-partner meeting an old friend at a gas station.
When she stopped at the pump to throw in a 10 or
Continuing the speculation about the ex-partner's actions at a gas station.
Maybe she's about to call ‘cause she broke down
Anticipating a call from the ex-partner because of a breakdown.
All I know is she'll be here any second now
Expressing uncertainty but hopeful expectation that the ex-partner will return soon.
I’ll never forget that cold night
Recalling a memorable and emotionally charged night with the ex-partner.
Those terrible words, that pointless fight
Referencing hurtful words exchanged during a heated argument.
Like I can't do this anymore
Stating a declaration that the narrator can no longer endure the relationship.
I'm gone for good when I walk out this door
Indicating a final decision to leave, emphasizing the permanence of the departure.
Maybe what I pray for will come true
Expressing a prayer or hope for the desired outcome of the ex-partner returning.
She'll walk back in and say I love you
Imagining a scenario where the ex-partner comes back, expressing love and reconciliation.
I'll wrap her up and never let go
Desiring to embrace and hold onto the returning ex-partner.
Man she's gotta be getting close.
Noting the anticipation and belief that the ex-partner is nearing a return.
There's no way that in the only one going through hell
Conveying self-assurance by convincing oneself that others are also facing challenges.
At least that's what I been telling myself
Expressing a coping mechanism of telling oneself that others are also struggling.
