Lyrics
My girl had cool hair
Expressing admiration for the physical appearance of the speaker's girlfriend, particularly her cool hair.
A cute laugh we went nowhere
Describing a relationship where the couple shared enjoyable moments, but it didn't progress further ("we went nowhere").
It's okay I like a good waste
Accepting the idea of wasted time and expressing a preference for it ("I like a good waste").
I met her at a bad time
Recalling meeting the girl during a challenging period in the speaker's life.
I was hurt I told a few lies
Admitting to being in pain and having told lies during the mentioned difficult time.
And so we went our own way
Reflecting on the end of the relationship as they both went their separate ways.
I don't have the eyes
Expressing a lack of understanding or insight ("I don't have the eyes").
To see what I need to see sometimes
Acknowledging a difficulty in perceiving what needs to be seen at times.
And maybe you're right
Accepting the possibility of someone else being right.
I won't put up a fight
Declaring a willingness to avoid conflict ("I won't put up a fight").
I don't have the eyes

To see what I need to see sometimes
-And maybe you're right

-I'm up late I try a new place
Describing the speaker staying up late and trying new experiences or places.
A few drinks should clear her face
Suggesting that alcohol may be used to cope with or forget about the memories of the past relationship.
From my head maybe this time
Expressing hope for a fresh start or a different outcome in a new relationship ("maybe this time").
I come home I turn the lights red
Symbolizing a change in mood by turning the lights red upon returning home.
A dead rose when I get into bed
Using a dead rose as a metaphor for the speaker's emotional state when going to bed.
It's so clear that I'm not alright
Acknowledging the clarity of the speaker's emotional distress.
I don't have the eyes
Reiterating the theme of lacking insight and a reluctance to engage in arguments, emphasizing this perspective.
To see what I need to see sometimes
-And maybe you're right

-To see what I need to see sometimes
-And maybe you're right
-I won't put up a fight
