Committing to having just one more drink before leaving the party.

and everybody

Referencing everyone at the party except the speaker.

expect I'm the one who would play it cool

Feeling the expectation to act cool despite emotional turmoil.


I'm not trying to yield

Asserting not to give in or surrender.

I´ve been running it up all night

Acknowledging a night of excess and indulgence.

I´ve been dancing with other guys, no

Admitting to dancing with others, possibly seeking distraction.

I´ve been trying to heal

Expressing an attempt to heal from emotional pain.

But you have the nerve to call at midnight

Receiving an unexpected call from someone significant at midnight.


I'll never forget that you

One more dance at this nightclub (just one more, oh..)

Expressing the intention to have one more dance at a nightclub.

Just one more then I'll go home

Committing to just one more dance before leaving the nightclub.

And you keep calling me

Highlighting persistent attempts by someone to check on the speaker.

Just to check if I'm dancing all by my own

Implying concern about the speaker's interactions while dancing.


I´m not trying to yield

I've been running it up all night

Please stop callin'

-

Won´t find myself falling apart
