Lyrics
I'm always looking at your face
I consistently observe your facial expressions.
And finding myself two cans past okay
I find myself feeling more than just okay, perhaps overwhelmed or intoxicated.
I'd like to see you pull your weight
I want to see you contribute your fair share of effort or responsibility.
I'm lining it up and it's looking awfully true
I am aligning things, and it seems to be undeniably accurate or true.
That your pedestal keeps shrinking
Your high regard or admiration for someone is diminishing.
I could find a place to be myself in
I can find a comfortable place to express myself authentically.
Trading time for bottles of cheap beer
Exchanging time for bottles of inexpensive beer.
Fuck it, I'll be better by next year
Despite challenges, I am optimistic about improving myself in the coming year.
Leaving no opinions behind me
Not leaving any strong personal opinions or judgments in my wake.
You should know I don't take it lightly
It's important for you to understand that I take things seriously.
You were always locking yourself away
You consistently isolated yourself from others.
I was sitting on the floor, right on the other side
I was in close proximity, separated only by a door, while you were distant.
Of the door
Emphasizing the physical barrier and emotional distance.
I found the person who escaped
I found someone who managed to escape from a difficult situation.
They seemed to look right through me
This person didn't acknowledge or recognize me.
I can't blame you for losing your way
I understand that you may have lost your path or direction.
But you didn't have to lose me
But you didn't necessarily have to lose me in the process.
Trading you for bags of cheap weed
Exchanging you for substances of little value (cheap weed).
Fuck it, I'll be better by next week
Despite challenges, I am optimistic about improving myself in the coming week.
Leaving no opinions behind me
Not leaving strong personal opinions or judgments in my wake.
You should know I don't take it lightly
It's important for you to understand that I take things seriously.
