Lyrics
Here we are, so where do we go from here?
Reflecting on the current situation and contemplating the next steps.
Should've known what I said
Regretting something said in the past.
Would've brought us to the end of a dead end street
Realizing that previous actions or words led to a difficult situation.
I know those eyes, I've seen those tears
Recognizing familiar emotions in the other person.
You probably thinking that I'm leaving
Perceiving a fear of abandonment or separation.
And I'm looking for a reason just to find me somewhere
Searching for a reason to stay and reconcile.
Staring down the barrel of a shot glass
Expressing the feeling of being trapped or confronted with a difficult choice.
Wondering how I'm ever gonna get you back
Contemplating how to regain the other person's affection.
But I ain't falling in the same trap like I always do
Avoiding repeating past mistakes and behaviors.
I ain't leaving here tearing down the highway
Committing to stay and not leaving abruptly.
How I did you wrong running on replay
Acknowledging past wrongs and mistakes.
No, I ain't drowning in the same past
Refusing to be stuck in the same negative patterns.
Staring down the barrel of a shot glass
Reiterating the feeling of being trapped or facing a challenging situation.
It ain't easy, so please believe me
Emphasizing personal growth and change.
When I tell you I'm a different man
Asserting that there has been a positive transformation.
I need for you to understand I'm trying to do the right thing
Expressing the intention to do the right thing.
Let me hold you, let me show you
Requesting the opportunity to demonstrate change and commitment.
All that I can do is do everything to prove I'm not who I used to be
Promising to prove a change in behavior and character.
Staring down the barrel of a shot glass
Revisiting the feeling of being trapped in a difficult situation.
Wondering how I'm ever gonna get you back
Continuing to contemplate how to win back the other person.
But I ain't falling in the same trap like I always do
Avoiding repeating old, unsuccessful patterns of behavior.
I ain't leaving here tearing down the highway
Committing to stay and not leaving hastily.
How I did you wrong running on replay
Acknowledging past mistakes and their repetitive nature.
No, I ain't drowning in the same past
Rejecting the idea of being stuck in the same negative past.
Staring down the barrel of a shot glass
Reiterating the feeling of being trapped or facing a challenging situation.
And by now I'd be too away from gone
Considering a potential separation or departure.
And you'd be one foot out the door
Anticipating a one-sided departure from the relationship.
But I ain't doing that anymore
Rejecting the idea of repeating past behaviors.
Staring down the barrel of a shot glass
Revisiting the feeling of being trapped in a difficult situation.
Wondering how I'm ever gonna get you back
Continuing to contemplate how to win back the other person.
But I ain't falling in the same trap like I always do
Avoiding repeating old, unsuccessful patterns of behavior.
I ain't leaving here tearing down the highway
Committing to stay and not leaving hastily.
How I did you wrong running on replay
Acknowledging past mistakes and their repetitive nature.
No, I ain't drowning in the same past
Rejecting the idea of being stuck in the same negative past.
Staring down the barrel of a shot glass
Reiterating the feeling of being trapped or facing a challenging situation.
No, I ain't drowning in the same past
Rejecting the idea of being stuck in the same negative past.
Staring down the barrel of a shot glass
Revisiting the feeling of being trapped in a difficult situation.
