Drugs
Chasing Memories: A Melodic Journey of Love and Regret
Lyrics
Walking home on a Sunday night and she's in my mind
Reflecting on thoughts of someone while walking home on a Sunday night.
I've been trying hard to forget her so I take drugs to pass the time
Using drugs as a means to distract oneself from memories of the person.
Who knew after two or three hits I'd remember every line
Surprisingly recalling intimate details after taking drugs.
Like the first time we kissed or the first time I woke up by her side
Recalling significant moments shared with the person.
The way she used to smile at me has me drinking to forget
Drinking to forget the past, especially the person's smile.
Every time I see a hot air balloon I smoke another cigarette
Using smoking as a coping mechanism triggered by specific visual cues.
Does she google up on me to see if I'm famous yet
Speculating if the person is checking the singer's status.
Or am I just one of her biggest regrets
Questioning if the singer is a regrettable memory for the person.
Or am I just her biggest regret
Questioning if the singer is the person's biggest regret.
Oh yeah am I
Reiterating the previous question with affirmation.
Whoa oh Whoa oh Whoa oh
Refrain/chant-like section emphasizing inability to write another song about the person.
I can't write another song about you
Expressing difficulty in composing further songs related to the person.
Oh no I can't
Reaffirming the challenge of creating new content about the person.
Whoa oh Whoa oh Whoa oh
Repeating the inability to expel thoughts of the person from the mind.
But I can't get you out my mind
Expressing difficulty in forgetting the person.
Can't get you out my mind
Reiterating the mental struggle to forget the person.
Whoa oh Whoa oh Whoa oh
Hope of a potential future meeting with the person.
Maybe we'll meet again in time
Expressing a possibility of a reunion in the future.
In time
Anticipating a potential reunion at some point.
Whoa oh Whoa oh Whoa oh
Emphasizing reliance on drugs until a potential reunion.
Till then I'm taking drugs to get by
Using drugs as a coping mechanism until meeting again.
Yeah I'm taking drugs to get high
Seeking an altered state of mind using drugs.
Sometimes I take ecstasy to remember what it was like with her
Using ecstasy to evoke memories associated with the person.
I think about that bumblebee on the back side of her arm
Recalling a specific detail about the person (a bumblebee tattoo).
I think about how she's pollinating every song I'll ever write
Believing the person influences every song the singer creates.
Well she's still got a buzz in my ear and a stinger in my heart
Describing lingering emotional and mental impact of the person.
And a stinger in my heart
Reinforcing the emotional and mental influence of the person.
Oh in my heart
Reaffirming the emotional impact within the singer's heart.
Whoa oh Whoa oh Whoa oh
Repetitive chorus/verses emphasizing the inability to forget the person despite efforts and reliance on drugs.
I can't write another song about you
-Oh no I can't
-Whoa oh Whoa oh Whoa oh
-But I can't get you out my mind
-Can't get you out my mind
-Whoa oh Whoa oh Whoa oh
-Maybe we'll meet again in time
-In time
-Whoa oh Whoa oh Whoa oh
-Till then I'm taking drugs to get by
-Yeah I'm taking drugs to get high
-Whoa oh ah
-This one time I took LSD and I saw you down the hall
-I felt so happy I jumped for joy at it all
-Then I got close and I realized it was her
-Well all she makes me feel like is dirt
-Yeah all she makes me feel like is dirt
-Whoa oh Whoa oh Whoa oh
-I can't write another song about you
-Oh no I can't
-Whoa oh Whoa oh Whoa oh
-But I can't get you out my mind
-Can't get you out my mind
-Whoa oh Whoa oh Whoa oh
-Maybe we'll meet again in time
-In time
-Whoa oh Whoa oh Whoa oh
-Till then I'm taking drugs to get by
-Yeah I'm taking drugs to get high
-I'm taking drugs to get by
-Yeah I'm taking drugs to get high
Reiteration of using drugs as a means of coping and seeking an altered mental state due to thoughts of the person.
