Baby Driver
Journey through Shadows: Mickey May's 'Baby Driver' Revelations
Lyrics
I was hoping you would stick around
I had hoped for your continued presence
And walk me through the night
Guide me through the night
Can't remember nothing baby
Experiencing memory loss, possibly due to substance use
Must have been off every kind
Was likely under the influence of various substances
Forgetting what your name was
Unable to recall your name
Could you tell me one more time
Requesting to be reminded of your name
I keep on waking up wishing I'd wake to a brand new life
Waking up with a desire for a fresh start
There's nothing left inside of me no matter what I try
Feeling empty, regardless of efforts
I'm blacking out for sport that something I just can't deny
Engaging in blackout behavior as a form of entertainment, acknowledging inability to deny it
And every time I said that I was Sober oh I lied
Past instances of falsely claiming sobriety
I'm running from myself but see I'm running out of time
Attempting to escape oneself but running out of time
See I'm trying for you baby
Making an effort for the sake of the partner
Oh its hard enough to fake it
Faking is challenging
All this pressure got me taking
Pressure leading to drug use
When I'm using I'm awaking
Being alert when using substances
I'm abusing what I'm taking
Abusing substances taken
And you wonder why I'm shaking
Experiencing physical effects, leading to shaking
Baby that's my body breaking
Body breaking down due to substance abuse
And I don't need all your saving
Rejecting the idea of needing saving
You and I
Referring to the relationship between 'You and I'
Thats alright
Accepting the current state as okay
You was right
Acknowledging a past statement or action as correct
We aint right
Repetition emphasizing that the relationship is not in a good state
We aint right
-We aint right
-If you say that you love me
Questioning the authenticity of love due to absence
How come you never Come around
Expressing disappointment in infrequent visits
Think I finally got it
Believing to have understood the partner
I think I got you figured
Claiming to have figured the partner out
All these bodies around me
Surrounded by people, feeling the loss of the partner in the crowd
I must have lost you in the crowd
Indicating a possible separation within the crowd
I aint say that we made it
Not claiming success but asserting a connection
Im only saying that we bound
Emphasizing the binding nature of the relationship
You been talking for hours
Partner talking extensively, but the connection fading
And now you really fading out
The partner's voice or presence diminishing
But you keep letting me in
Being allowed into the partner's life despite restrictions
When you know I'm not allowed
Understanding the forbidden nature of the relationship
We aint lovers we just runners
Characterizing the relationship as fleeting and hidden
Just like Dennis and Madonna
Reference to Dennis and Madonna, famous for fleeting relationships
Always hiding under covers
Hiding under covers, metaphor for secrecy
Baby you aint like no other
Emphasizing the partner's uniqueness
Darling don't you ever wanna
Encouraging the partner to let go of troubles
Just let go of all your problems
Suggesting a desire for the partner to release their problems
I aint saying I'm a rider
Clarifying the speaker is not claiming to be a steadfast companion
I'm no automatic driver
Not an automatic or consistent partner
We aint lovers we just runners
Reiteration of the transient nature of the relationship
Just like Dennis and Madonna
-Always hiding under covers
-Baby you aint like no other
-Darling don't you ever wanna
-Just let go of all your problems
-I aint saying I'm a rider
-I'm no automatic driver
