Lyrics
It hits me when I drive
Reflects moments of realization or impact occurring while driving.
It hits me all the time
Emphasizes the continuous occurrence of impactful moments.
When I'm faced with a feeling
Confrontation with intense emotions or situations.
That the floor is the ceiling
Suggests a feeling of being trapped or limited, unable to progress.
And everything comes down
Everything converges or collapses due to personal decisions.
To the choices I make
The consequences of personal choices.
The promises I break
Refers to breaking commitments or obligations.
I messed up
Admits to making mistakes.
I fessed up
Confesses or acknowledges the errors.
But you're not immune
Others are affected by one's mistakes despite their immunity.
I hate to be wrong but I love to assume
Prefer assuming over admitting faults despite disliking being wrong.
She lies in a pile of torn memories
Depicts someone surrounded by shattered past experiences.
Ashes to ashes we all burn the same
Suggests the universal nature of eventual destruction or demise.
Doesn't matter anyway
Conveys the insignificance of actions or outcomes.
Will it matter anyway

I knew that it would just take time

Implies the initiation of changes in personal life.
You tell me that I'm different

I can tell you've always felt
Indicates a long-standing feeling of the observer towards the singer.
That I was doing something
Suggests perceptions of the singer's actions by the observer.
But I only fixed myself
Claims the focus was on self-improvement rather than others.
I messed up

I fessed up
Repeats the acknowledgment of mistakes.
But you're not immune

I hate to be wrong but I love to assume
