Drunk on Your Love
Intoxicating Longing
Lyrics
The neon lights shine brighter
The bright lights of the neon signs are more prominent than the stars in the night sky.
Than the stars do tonight
Comparing the brightness of the neon lights to the stars in the night.
It's one more shot of whiskey
Taking another shot of whiskey, indicating a continued indulgence in alcohol.
And my heads on the bar tonight
Feeling intoxicated or overwhelmed, with the head on the bar as a symbol of distress.
And I keep on replaying
Reflecting on past actions and regretting missed opportunities.
All the things I could've done right
The speaker contemplates the things they could have done differently.
But that's not me that's talking
Acknowledging that the thoughts are influenced by the effects of whiskey.
It's just the whiskey on my mind
Clarifying that the speaker's current state of mind is due to alcohol.
So I'll drink up one last time
Deciding to have one final drink before expressing true feelings.
I'll say what's on my mind
Expressing honesty about personal thoughts and emotions.
And your lonely eyes won't look at me
Noticing a lack of connection or responsiveness in the eyes of the person being addressed.
When I'm holding you tonight
Anticipating holding the person later, despite the current emotional distance.
You'll spin around my hands
Describing a dance move where the person spins around the speaker's hands.
And I'll be your last dance
Becoming the last dance for the person being held.
Cause loneliness won't find us both tonight
Asserting that loneliness will not affect them that night.
I guess I'm drunk on your love tonight
Acknowledging being intoxicated by the love of the person.
Your eyes seem to find me
Noticing the person's eyes finding the speaker during a flight.
When I'm on a red eyed flight
Referencing being on a flight with red eyes, possibly indicating a late or overnight journey.
Cause I stay stoned for way too long
Admitting to staying in a state of intoxication for too long.
To see that things ain't right
Realizing that things in life are not going well due to prolonged substance use.
And the only things that seem so real
Describing the apparent reality of drug use and unclear boundaries.
Are cocaine and blurred lines
Connecting the clarity of reality to cocaine and blurred lines.
Your memory's like a drug to me
Comparing the person's memory to a drug, suggesting a strong and addictive effect.
That makes me wanna stay high
Expressing the desire to stay in a heightened emotional state due to the person's memory.
