Lyrics

It's half an hour to midnight

Expressing the approaching midnight, setting a somber tone.

And the rain is settin in

Indicating the onset of rain, adding to the melancholy atmosphere.

We're at each other's throats

Describing a conflict or argument between two individuals.

About the same old thing again

Highlighting a repetitive nature of disputes, involving the same issues.

You're pushing me away

Noting a sense of emotional distance being created.

While you tell me not to go

Contradictory actions where one is urged to stay despite being pushed away.

I thought we had the life we wanted

Reflecting on a past belief of having the desired life.

But right now I don't know

Expressing current uncertainty about the relationship.

And we've been down this road before

Referencing previous experiences of going through similar conflicts.


I'm 2000 miles from Memphis

Stating the physical distance of being 2000 miles away from Memphis.

But I couldn't feel any farther from home

Expressing a profound emotional distance despite the physical proximity.

I'm 2000 miles from Memphis

Reiterating the physical distance, emphasizing the emotional disconnection.

But only a few miles from home

Suggesting that being physically close to home doesn't alleviate the emotional distance.


Lookin back over my shoulder

Looking back at a departing location, indicating a sense of departure or change.

As the house fades out of view

Reflecting on the fading view of a house, symbolizing a departure.

Every time the thunder rolls

Associating thunder with thoughts of a significant person (you).

All I think about is you

Emphasizing that thoughts revolve around the person during emotional moments.

No one sees the tear drops fallin

Highlighting emotional pain with tears falling, unnoticed by others.

In the pourin rain

Connecting tears with the rain, emphasizing the emotional storm.

But every drop of that old water

Recognizing that water can't erase emotional pain.

Ain't gonna wash away the pain

Stating that external factors won't alleviate the emotional hurt.

And we've been down this road before

Referencing familiarity with previous instances of emotional distress.


I'm 2000 miles from Memphis

Repeating the distance from Memphis, emphasizing the emotional disconnect.

But I couldn't feel any farther from home

Expressing a heightened emotional distance despite physical closeness to home.

I'm 2000 miles from Memphis

Reiterating the physical and emotional separation.

But only a few miles from home

Emphasizing that being close to home doesn't alleviate emotional distance.


I'm 2000 miles from Memphis

Repeating the refrain, highlighting the persistent emotional gap.

But I couldn't feel any farther from home

Reiterating the emotional struggle despite the proximity to home.

I'm 2000 miles from Memphis

Emphasizing the continued emotional distance despite being physically close.

But only a few miles from home

Highlighting the paradox of physical closeness and emotional remoteness.


Only a few miles from home

Underlining the minimal distance to home but acknowledging the emotional gap.
