Lyrics

You say you're gonna leave me

You express the intention to leave me.

say you got to go

You emphasize the need to depart.

Only Lord knows why you didn""t leave a long time ago

It is puzzling why you haven't left a long time ago, and only the Lord knows the reasons.

You say you're gonna leave me

You reiterate the desire to leave me.

say you love me so

You claim to love me despite the intention to leave.

Only Lord knows why you didn""t leave a long time ago

Similar to line 3, questioning why the departure hasn't happened earlier, and only the Lord knows.


All I need is a place to rest

You express a simple desire for a place to find peace and rest.

Got so tired tryin' to do my best

You convey fatigue from trying your best in a situation.

Too much talk but you got no game

There is a complaint about too much talk without substance or skill.

Guess this town ain't gonna know our name

Anticipation that the town won't recognize or remember you.


Try to run but you won't get far

An attempt to escape, but success is doubtful.

Go on, show the world who we really are

An encouragement to reveal one's true self to the world.

you tried to change oh, but you're still the same

Recognition that there was an effort to change, but the person remains unchanged.

you got no heart son,

An assertion that the person lacks compassion or empathy.

you got no shame

An accusation of lacking shame or remorse.


I seen you on the Flipside sittin' at the bar

An observation of the person at a different place (Flipside) sitting at the bar.

You're right back where I found you man

Noting that the person has returned to the starting point or origin.

'Cause that's just who we are

Reflecting on the inevitability of the person's behavior as part of their identity.

you're runnin' your mouth about how this all came about, baby...

The person is talking about how the situation unfolded or originated, emphasizing the place (313).

The 313 it done spit us out

The place (313) has rejected or expelled the individuals.
