No Ties
Chasing Shadows: A Musical Odyssey of Love, Loss, and Redemption
Lyrics
Well I called you back the day after the weekend
Expressing an attempt to reconnect after the weekend
And you said you had a really nice time but you missed your boyfriend
Recipient enjoyed the weekend but has a boyfriend
Well I can't put the picture back on the wall
Unable to undo a situation or relationship
The notion possessed me but my will is so small
Feeling compelled by desire but lacking the willpower
I gotta pick up the fever where I left off, you see
Resuming a passionate pursuit, overcoming obstacles
I got a fire in my throat and you choking me
Intense desire or emotion causing discomfort
Gonna leave you in the ashes
Expressing a decision to end the relationship dramatically
So I walked to the quick trip to grab a 32 ounce beverage
Describing a visit to a convenience store for a drink
And I'm filling it up as I'm looking for a little leverage
Seeking advantage or opportunity while filling up
You got three aces and a jack to boot
Referencing a card game with specific cards mentioned
And I hold a spread of a different suit
Holding a hand that doesn't match, suggesting a mismatch
You toss in your hand
Ending the card game without betting
Leave the table-no ante
Leaving a situation without contributing anything
Another spring-loaded psy-op
Reference to a deceptive psychological operation
Butterbeans and biscuits
Using colloquial terms, possibly referring to food
Children roll on, roll on
Encouraging children to continue moving forward
Well I got a new wallet but nothing to go inside
Having a new wallet but lacking material possessions
And I'm running from the Uber just to see if I can try to hide
Running from a ride-sharing service to avoid confrontation
Well the driver was old but she was not slow
Describing a fast but efficient driver
She taught me pay and let me go, you know
Learning a lesson about payment and freedom
One-track minded
Having a singular focus on acquiring money
Gotta get the dough
Driven by the need to earn a living
Keep thinking about the road
Contemplating the journey ahead
Not sweating
Remaining composed despite challenges
If I had two two-dollar bills I might rub together
Expressing a desire for financial success
I'll tell you to shove all your politic and weather
Rejecting political and weather-related concerns
'Cause whether I'm running behind or in the lead
Indifferent to whether behind or ahead in a race
I got shards in my ankles, got glass in my knees
Experiencing physical pain or difficulty
Another sob story
Sharing a difficult personal situation
Who's got the time?
Questioning the availability of time
The proof is in the pudding
Emphasizing the tangible evidence of a situation
I got to go y'all--arrivederci!
Expressing a need to depart, using a casual farewell
Too busy running
Repeatedly emphasizing being too busy running
Too busy running
-Too busy running
-Running
-Running
-Running
