Lyrics
I know we've been close since we were kids
I acknowledge our close relationship since childhood.
And you used to swing my way, knock my door, come out to play
You used to visit me frequently, inviting me to play.
You'd tell me everything, I'm always listening
You shared everything with me, and I was always attentive.
To the stories that we made while we were sipping lemonade
We reminisce about the stories we created while enjoying lemonade.
But there's something in our soda, now we're boozing, now we're older
Our dynamics have changed; now we consume alcohol as we've grown older.
We get nervous every time that we get close
We feel anxious whenever we become intimate.
But the music's getting louder and the drinks are getting harder
The music and drinks intensify as we get closer.
Everybody knows the way that this thing goes
It's a familiar pattern; everyone knows how this situation unfolds.
Take my hand and pull me closer
Expressing a desire for closeness, asking to be pulled closer.
Kiss me now before I'm sober
A plea to be kissed before becoming sober.
I don't wanna run away, run away, run away
Expressing a reluctance to run away from the situation.
I don't wanna run away, run away, run away
Repeating the desire to stay and not run away.
I'm singing hallelujah
Expressing joy or relief, possibly related to the closeness.
I think my shirt would suit ya
Suggesting that a particular shirt would look good on the other person.
I don't wanna run away, run away, run away
Reiterating the reluctance to run away from the current situation.
I don't wanna run away, run away, run away
Emphasizing the desire to stay and not escape.
I don't wanna run away, run away, run away
Repeating the sentiment of not wanting to run away.
It happens every time that we go out
Describing a recurring situation when going out.
Wish that I could walk you home, instead, I text you on your phone
Expressing a wish to walk the person home instead of sending a text.
Some drunken message that I know that I'll regret
Acknowledging the regrettable nature of drunken messages.
It was simple in the days when we were sipping lemonade
Reflecting on simpler times when lemonade was the drink of choice.
But there's something in our soda, now we're boozing, now we're older
Noting a shift to consuming alcohol as they've grown older.
We get nervous every time that we get close
Experiencing nervousness as intimacy increases.
But the music's getting louder and the drinks are getting harder
Describing the escalating atmosphere with louder music and stronger drinks.
Everybody knows the way that this thing goes
Highlighting the predictability of the unfolding situation.
Take my hand and pull me closer

Kiss me now before I'm sober

I don't wanna run away, run away, run away
