Lyrics

You quit them

You ended a relationship with someone.

But old habits aren't hard to find

However, it's easy to fall back into familiar behaviors.

You never know

You are uncertain about the future.

Maybe this is gonna be one of those good old times

Despite uncertainties, there's hope for positive experiences.


Wasted just a reminder

Indulging in activities that remind you of past mistakes.

Tried to take a side street all the way back home

Trying alternative routes but facing challenges returning home.

Stranded in a parking lot isn't what you had in mind

Feeling stuck in an unexpected situation.


Calling someone to come and save you

Seeking help from others in a moment of need.

Check down the list of people that you know

Reviewing a list of acquaintances for assistance.

Skipped over mom and dad thinking I might understand

Overlooking family support, hoping for understanding elsewhere.


You failed to mention that to me before

Discovering information not previously communicated.

You dragged me out into the night

Being pulled into an unexpected situation at night.

To meet you at the hospital

Summoned to the hospital to meet the person.

To see if you were alright

Checking on the well-being of the person.

Well are you alright

Asking if the person is indeed okay.


Changed your address and your number

Making changes in life to escape unwanted attention.

Got a new job maybe he'll leave you alone

Optimistically anticipating a harassment-free environment with a new job.

How is it you always end up with the same fucking guy

Reflecting on repeated involvement with similar problematic individuals.


Going places

Engaging in activities and places that may be risky.

You know you shouldn't be with people you barely even know

Ignoring caution and associating with unfamiliar people.

Then you come back with sorry stories about your new friends

Returning with regretful tales about new acquaintances.


You failed to mention that to me before

Revealing previously undisclosed information.

You dragged me out into the night

Being pulled into a nighttime situation again.

Chasing down your ambulance

Pursuing an ambulance, likely metaphorical, to ensure safety.

To make sure you were alright

Verifying the well-being of the person once more.

Well are you alright

Reiterating the concern about the person's condition.
