Lyrics
I've been on the run from feeling
I've been avoiding confronting my emotions
You been on the hunt for truth
You have been actively seeking the truth
I've been coming up with reasons
I've been inventing justifications for my actions
You been knocking down my ruse
You have been exposing and dismantling my deceptions
How about you tell me all about your weekend
Share details about your weekend with me
I don't want to share my news
I am reluctant to disclose information about my own experiences
I've been out there on the town last evening
I've been socializing in the city last night
Cutting up with someone new
Engaging in lively activities with a new acquaintance
Yeah
Expression of agreement or acknowledgment
Down at a dive in Little Five
Located at a dive bar in Little Five Points
Lost track of time
Lost awareness of time passing
I cannot fake this
I cannot pretend or fake my feelings anymore
100 proof that's no excuse
Authentic and undeniable, no room for denial
But truth ain't truth if it is painless
Truth is not genuine if it doesn't involve pain
Where's the waitress
Asking about the location of the waitress, possibly a metaphor for seeking assistance
We spend all this time pretending
We've spent a significant amount of time pretending
We both need a new beginning
Both of us need a fresh start or a new beginning
I've been on the run from feeling
Reiteration of avoiding emotional confrontation
You been on the hunt for truth
Reiteration of actively seeking the truth
I've been coming up with reasons
Reiteration of inventing justifications for actions
You been knocking down my ruse
Reiteration of exposing and dismantling deceptions
How about you tell me all about your weekend
Repeat of line 5, emphasizing the desire for sharing
I don't want to share my news
Repeat of line 6, reiterating reluctance to disclose personal experiences
I was out there on the town last evening
Repeat of line 7, reinforcing socializing in the city
Hooking up with someone new
Repeat of line 8, reemphasizing engaging with someone new
Yeah
Reiteration of avoiding emotional confrontation
I've been on the run from feeling
Reiteration of actively seeking the truth
You been on the hunt for truth
Final repetition of the theme of the pursuit of truth
