Red Sweater
Chasing Redemption: Misty Blue's Tale of Love, Redemption, and Late-Night Fires
Lyrics
I try to get you off my mind
I am attempting to remove thoughts of you from my mind.
We're crazy, you and I
Our relationship is unconventional or unpredictable.
Just one more touch, oh can I?
Desire for one more physical connection, asking for permission.
Will we burn this down and start again?
Contemplating whether to end things and start anew.
Until we can't be friends
Until we reach a point where friendship is not possible.
But I knew
Despite uncertainties, there was prior awareness.
You and me, we're backwards
Describing the relationship as contrary or unconventional.
But we'll make it past the bad words
Confident that the relationship can surpass difficulties.
And I'll get you, after the fire
Expressing commitment even after challenges or conflicts.
Oh yeah yeah
Affirmative statement, possibly acknowledging a shared understanding.
I bet you can do better
Suggesting the belief that the partner has the potential to do better.
But, I'm stuck in your old red sweater
Feeling emotionally attached or stuck in a symbolic red sweater.
Come baby, let's make it right
Invitation to reconcile and make things right.
And we'll take the night (we'll take the night)
Embracing the night as a metaphor for resolving issues.
Well the take the night (we'll take the night)
Repetition emphasizing the intention to take control of the night.
We'll be alright (we'll be alright)
Confidence that everything will be fine.
Oh we'll be alright
Reassurance that the relationship will be okay.
Drove through the valley late that night
Narrative shift to a late-night drive through a valley.
West coastin', gettin' high
Indication of being on the West Coast and engaging in substance use.
Just one more hit, oh babe can I?
Desire for another experience or hit, seeking permission.
Will you break me down and try again?
Questioning whether the relationship will break down and restart.
Until it's all been said
Continuing until everything that needs to be said is expressed.
But I knew
Reiteration of prior awareness despite uncertainties.
You and me, we're backwards
Describing the relationship as unconventional or contrary.
But we'll make it past the bad words
Confidence in overcoming negative aspects of the relationship.
And I'll get you, after the fire
Commitment to reaching the partner after a difficult period.
Oh yeah yeah
Affirmative statement, possibly acknowledging a shared understanding.
I bet you can do better
Suggesting the belief that the partner has the potential to do better.
But, i'm stuck in your old red sweater
Feeling emotionally attached or stuck in a symbolic red sweater.
Come baby, let's make it right
Invitation to reconcile and make things right.
And we'll take the night
Embracing the night as a metaphor for resolving issues.
(We'll take the night, oh)
Repetition emphasizing the intention to take control of the night.
You and me, we're backwards
Describing the relationship as unconventional or contrary.
But, will we make it past all these bad words?
Questioning the possibility of overcoming negative aspects.
I'll get you, after the fire
Commitment to reaching the partner after a difficult period.
Yeah yeah
Affirmative statement, possibly acknowledging a shared understanding.
I bet you can do better than me
Expressing a belief that the partner can do better than the speaker.
But i'm stuck your red sweater, baby
Feeling emotionally attached or stuck in a symbolic red sweater.
Come with me, and take me on a ride all night
Invitation to join the speaker on a metaphorical journey all night.
Oh we'll take the night (we'll take the night)
Embracing the night as a metaphor for resolving issues.
Will we still be alright? (be alright)
Questioning whether everything will still be alright.
Oh after the fire (be alright)
Expressing hope for the relationship after a challenging period.
Can we make it alright?
Questioning the possibility of making everything alright.
