Favorite Scenes: A Tale of Lost Connections
Lyrics
One forty-five
The time is 1:45.
One hell of a night
It was an extraordinary night.
Said the liquor's to blame so what could I do
Blaming alcohol for not feeling right.
I don't feel right
Expressing discomfort or unease.
So I pick tonight
Choosing this night for a significant reason.
Empty bottles say what do you have to lose
Empty bottles symbolize a willingness to take risks.
The older we grow the more you're somebody I used to know
Reflecting on growing older and distancing from someone.
And I don't know about you but that just eats at me
Feeling bothered by the growing distance.
Don't think I'm on your mind 'cause this isn't a movie it's life
Clarifying that life isn't like a movie.
But I hope I'm at least one of your favorite scenes
Hoping to be a memorable part of the other person's life.
You're up north tonight
Reference to the person being in a different location.
Work's going alright
Indicating things are going well at work.
If I didn't know I'd think we were friends
Expressing uncertainty about the friendship.
Wish I told you this
Regretting not expressing certain feelings.
Don't do well with what-ifs
Struggling with uncertainty and hypothetical scenarios.
And we'll never know 'cause we'll never try
Accepting that certain things will never be known.
The older we grow the more you're somebody I used to know
Reiteration of growing apart from someone.
And I don't know about you but that just eats at me
Continued unease about the distance.
Don't think I'm on your mind 'cause this isn't a movie it's life
Emphasizing the realness of life compared to movies.
But I hope I'm at least one of your favorite scenes
Reiterating the desire to be a memorable part of the other's life.
When you're out at the bar and you should have said no to one more
Reflecting on potential regrets at a bar.
And they're all headed home
Others leaving the bar, possibly regretting a decision.
Do you think of me or is it only my special burden to bear
Wondering if the person thinks about the speaker.
I double take thought I saw you there
Seeing someone who resembles the person.
And the crowd just bores me to death now
Feeling bored and detached from the crowd.
As I turn to walk out thinking I might just really be doomed
Contemplating a potentially doomed situation.
To look for you the rest of my life in every room
Searching for the person in every room for life.
So I ask just once that girl in the crowd
A request directed to a girl in the crowd.
Did you hope she was me
Asking if the girl hoped to be the one in the speaker's thoughts.
