Lyrics
Gas station glasses with a tint of sad reflections
Gas station glasses symbolize a perspective tainted by melancholy reflections.
A whole perspective at a cheap buck 0.9
A comprehensive viewpoint available at a low cost (cheap buck 0.9).
You drop a subtle hint of your intentions
Subtle indication of intentions is dropped.
With a look that makes everything seem fine
A look that conceals problems, making everything appear okay.
You wake me up when you say it's over
Being awakened to the reality of a relationship ending.
I wake you up when I see your sober
Reciprocal wake-up calls based on sobriety.
I wish that I could just call you my best friend
Desire to label the person as a best friend despite complications.
The line is ringing and it's ringing to no end
Unanswered calls highlighting a communication breakdown.
So I can't help myself I'm so selfish
Admission of selfish behavior.
Babe got no life on the shelf
Expressing a lack of purpose or direction in life.
Wish I could rewind all the days
Wishing for the ability to reverse time and change past actions.
I never wore your Tommy sweater
Regret about not wearing a significant item (Tommy sweater).
Until I felt
The decision to wear the sweater led to improved feelings.
Oh so much better
Feeling satisfied with oneself.
And there you go all satisfied
Observing someone content while ignoring personal emotional struggles.
Looking at me with those makeup eyes dancing
Being looked at with attractive, yet deceptive, makeup-enhanced eyes.
All around like your the prize
Feeling like a secondary consideration at the Vespucci Ballroom.
At the Vespucci Ballroom while I cry
Expressing sadness while witnessing someone else's satisfaction.
Well your marshmallow perfume intoxicates the air
A metaphorical description of a captivating fragrance.
The clicking of your shoes bounces off the walls
The sound of shoes symbolizes constant competition and tension.
Constant competition ripping out my hair
The challenges of being seen or acknowledged in the relationship.
It's either you see me clearly or don't see me at all
Sweating and discomfort at the disparity between perfection and reality.
And well my sweat drips from my forehead
Physical manifestation of imperfection with a watermark.
As I sit at the foot of your bed
Acknowledging flaws, a universal aspect of humanity.
Picture perfect with one water mark
Recollection of a promise of honesty.
Almost perfect but we all have flaws
Realization that the promise was not entirely genuine.
But you promised
Feeling content while disregarding the emotional impact on others.
That you were being honest
Tears and emotional distress ignored for personal satisfaction.
But I guess that your promise
Reiteration of feeling like a secondary consideration.
Oh it was just so modest
Experiencing emotional pain while witnessing someone else's joy.
And there you go all satisfied
Repeating the cycle of observing satisfaction despite personal turmoil.
Looking at me with those teardrop eyes dancing
Tears and emotional distress acknowledged while being disregarded.
All around like your the prize
Feeling like an unnoticed participant at the Vespucci Ballroom.
At the Vespucci Ballroom while I
Expressing sadness and emotional release.
Cry
Continued emotional distress amid apparent satisfaction.
