Number On A Heart
Heartstrings Pulled: A Tale of Love, Loss, and Lessons
Lyrics
615 and 7 more digits on a lipstick napkin note
Receiving a phone number with seven additional digits on a note written on a napkin using lipstick.
20 dollars to the cover band said hey man play me something slow
Offering $20 to the band playing at the venue to perform a slow song.
We danced all night, I didn’t think twice, when I pulled you in close
Enjoying a dance together throughout the night without hesitation and drawing closer to each other.
Chorus:
Refrain/Chorus of the song.
It was one kiss turned into two kids saying
A single kiss led to the creation of a family, two children.
Three little words just 4 months later
After a short time (4 months), the couple exchanged "I love you," demonstrating their deepening commitment.
It went from watching the stars
The relationship transitioned from romantic stargazing to the departure of the partner's vehicle in the darkness.
To watching your taillights disappear in the dark
Progressed from admiring stars to witnessing the partner's car lights fading away in the night, suggesting a departure or ending.
Now 5 turns into 6 am baby
Representing the passing of time, from 5 o'clock until early morning (6 am) while deeply missing the departed partner.
Still awake missing you like crazy
Even after the departure, the feeling of missing the partner intensely persists.
When you left you left a mark
The departing partner had a profound impact or left a significant emotional imprint on the singer.
You sure can do a number
Expressing how deeply the departing partner affected the singer emotionally.
You sure can do a number on a heart
Reiteration of the impact the departing partner had on causing emotional pain.
Didn’t just break mine you made sure it couldn’t love again
Not only did the partner break the singer's heart but also ensured it couldn't love again, suggesting significant emotional damage.
No rhyme, or reason you're leaving was once upon a time, the end
The departure of the partner seemed abrupt and without a clear cause, leaving the singer bewildered and hurt.
Girl it was like i closed my eyes and I counted to ten
Comparing the suddenness of the departure to closing one's eyes and quickly counting to ten, indicating the speed or unexpectedness of the separation.

Still awake missing you like crazy
