How To Be Your Friend
Navigating Unspoken Longings: How to Rediscover Friendship
Lyrics
Two shots 'til you pick me up
Having a couple of drinks before being picked up
'Cause you didn't want me drivin' home
Not wanting to drive home because of intoxication
A part of me got drunk
Feeling emotionally affected due to the situation
'Cause I knew that you were gonna show
Expecting the presence of someone specific
And as I'm getting older
Realizing the passage of time
I'm getting farther and farther from over
Struggling to move on from something
And if I leaned in closer
Desire to get closer emotionally
Would you meet me half way
Seeking mutual effort in a relationship
Did I hang on too long to every accidental touch?
Holding onto accidental physical contacts for too long
Did I wonder what you'd think if I called more than once?
Overthinking the frequency of communication
Did I ever have to worry about what tequila and I said?
Concern about the impact of alcohol-induced conversations
Or have I just forgotten how to be your friend? (How to be your friend)
Questioning the ability to maintain friendship
Your shirt in the back of my truck
Symbolic attachment to an item associated with the person
It used to not mean a thing
Previously insignificant, but now given meaning
But my mind has convinced itself
Mental justification for their actions
You left it here for me to see
Interpreting actions as deliberate signals
And as I'm getting older
Struggling to find closure with time
I'm getting farther and farther from closure
Distance from achieving emotional resolution
With every are you coming over
Expectation of the person's visit
I let a good guy slip away
Regret for losing a good relationship
Did I hang on too long to every accidental touch?
Continued attachment to accidental physical contact
Did I wonder what you'd think if I called more than once?
Overthinking the impact of repeated calls
Did I ever have to worry about what tequila and I said?
Concern about the influence of alcohol in conversations
Or have I just forgotten how to be your friend? (How)
Doubt about maintaining the friendship
And I hate that you're my constant
Constantly thinking about the person
When I constantly wish we were more
Desire for a deeper relationship
I wish that we could go back
Wishing for a return to an earlier, better relationship
To the way we saw each other before
Yearning for the initial connection with the person
Did I hang on too long to every accidental touch?
Persistent attachment to accidental physical contact
Did I wonder how you'd feel if I called you more than once?
Speculating on the recipient's feelings about repeated calls
Did I ever have to worry about what tequila and I said?
Anxiety about the effect of alcohol on conversations
Or have I just forgotten how?
Questioning the ability to maintain the relationship
Did I hang on too long to every accidental touch?
Continued attachment to accidental physical contact
Did I wonder how you'd feel if I called you more than once?
Overthinking the impact of repeated calls
Did I ever have to worry about what tequila and I said?
Concern about the influence of alcohol in conversations
Or have I just forgotten how to be your friend?
Doubt about maintaining the friendship
How to be your friend
Questioning how to maintain the friendship
How to be your friend
Reiteration of uncertainty about maintaining the friendship
