Lyrics
There ain't a drop left in my cup
Expressing emptiness or the end of a drink.
They had my heart all riled up
Referring to a previous emotional state.
We own this town there ain't a damn thing
Claiming a sense of ownership and pride in the town.
That could pull us down
Confidence that nothing can bring them down.
And when we left the bar that night
Leaving a social gathering, encountering negativity.
I saw the devil he was smiling
Suggesting a negative force with a devil's presence.
I looked into her hazel eyes
Looking into someone's eyes, possibly a significant other.
I made her promise
Making a promise to stay together.
She would always be beside me
Commitment to being by each other's side.
Cause for the past few years
Reflecting on a period of unease or discontent.
Something didn't feel right
An unresolved feeling of discomfort.
I watched your face get dark
Observing a negative change in someone's expression.
It used to be so
Describing a previous positive state that has changed.
And that phrase had such a ring
Recalling a phrase that once held significance.
We own this town
Reasserting ownership and pride in the town.
And there ain't a damn thing
Confidence in their invincibility.
That could pull us down
Reiteration that nothing can bring them down.
God please forgive me i won't remember
A plea for forgiveness, possibly for anticipated actions.
This in the morning i'm not getting better
Acknowledging a lack of improvement in the morning.
We took a trip to that lonely apartment
Describing a visit to a desolate place.
A ways outside those neon lights
Emphasizing distance from vibrant city lights.
Where we spent those quiet mornings
Reflecting on calm moments after intense nights.
After the deafening nights
Contrasting quiet mornings with loud, disturbing nights.
Outside the devil stood
Describing a devil's presence outside.
He came to claim what he loaned
Implying a debt owed to the devil.
Outside the devil watched
Observing the devil waiting for his claim.
He came to take what he owned
Indicating the devil's intent to take what is rightfully his.
That phrase had such a ring we own this town
Recalling a phrase that once held significance.
And there ain't a damn thing
Reasserting ownership and pride in the town.
That could pull us down
Confidence in their invincibility.
God please forgive me i won't remember
A plea for forgiveness, possibly for anticipated actions.
This in the morning i'm not getting better
Acknowledging a lack of improvement in the morning.
That fog, that ice
Describing adverse weather conditions.
If I were sober I'd have known
If sober, recognizing the beauty of the night.
Such a beautiful night
Admiring the beauty of the night.
But she never made it home
An unresolved situation where someone did not return home.
