Tequila and Lime
State Contrasts: Tequila, Sunshine, and Identity Struggles
Lyrics
Trouble, I can see it on a Monday night and you’re not
Observing trouble brewing on a Monday night when you're absent
Subtle, you’re a long way from goodnight, makes me a
Your departure is noticeable, far from bidding goodnight
Little, jealous I’m not more your type ‘cause I’m in the
Feeling envious because you don't seem entirely interested in me
Middle, still going in a straight line
Staying in a neutral position, not deviating from the path
Yeah you like to party
You enjoy partying
No more “I’m sorry”s
No more apologies from you
You tell me “don’t worry”
Assuring me not to worry
Now it’s pretty clear and not blurry that
The situation is clear now, not unclear or confused
You, you, you love your big, proud state
You have a strong affection for your state
Different than mine
Your interests differ from mine
Boots and a loud gun range
You embrace boots and a noisy gun range
And I stick with sunshine
Contrarily, I prefer sunny environments
You, you, you own at least three fakes
You possess at least three counterfeit items
And you’re on cloud nine
You're extremely content, on cloud nine
Finding grammar mistakes
My pleasure is found in discovering grammatical errors
Is my tequila and lime
Finding flaws is my source of enjoyment
Crazy, that you always see the best, don’t try to
Noticing that you always focus on positives and avoid
Change me, ‘cause you know I’m the funniest, too bad that
You're unwilling to change me because you acknowledge my humor, yet
Lately, it’s been kind of a mess, mom thinks you’re
Lately, things have been chaotic, causing concern for my mom about your credibility
Shady, ‘cause you’re not what she’d guessed
She doubts your authenticity based on her expectations
Yeah you like to party
You revel in partying
No more “I’m sorry”s
No apologies anymore from your end
You tell me “don’t worry”
Assurances from you to not fret
Now it’s pretty clear and not blurry that
The situation is now clear and not ambiguous
You, you, you love your big, proud state
Your strong affinity for your state
Different than mine
Unlike my preferences
Boots and a loud gun range
You prefer a certain style, loud and aggressive
And I stick with sunshine
Whereas I lean towards a more peaceful and sunny atmosphere
You, you, you own at least three fakes
You own counterfeit items, enjoying the feeling of being on cloud nine
And you’re on cloud nine
Finding errors in language brings me satisfaction
Finding grammar mistakes
My pleasure lies in discovering mistakes
Is my tequila and lime
Errors in language are analogous to my source of enjoyment like tequila and lime
It’s a little crowded for me
The situation feels overwhelming for me
It’s a little loud can’t speak
The environment is too noisy for me to communicate
When I turn around, I see
When I look around, I see
You, you, you love your big, proud state
Your strong affection for your state
Different than mine
Which contrasts with my preferences
Boots and a loud gun range
Your preference for a loud and aggressive lifestyle
And I stick with sunshine
While I prefer a serene and sunny environment
You, you, you own at least three fakes
You own counterfeit items, relishing in feeling ecstatic
And you’re on cloud nine
Finding errors in language is akin to my source of enjoyment
Finding grammar mistakes
My pleasure is derived from finding mistakes
Is my tequila and lime
Errors in language are analogous to my source of enjoyment like tequila and lime
