Lyrics

So the sun will give me cancer

Expressing concern about the sun causing cancer.

If I don't have it already

Suspecting the possibility of already having cancer.

From the years now of chain-smoking

Reflecting on years of chain-smoking and its potential health impact.

Cigarettes together slowly

Alluding to a shared history of slowly smoking cigarettes together.

I'm a mess

Acknowledging personal struggles and difficulties.

Confessing to being a mess.

So don't look so upset

Asking others not to appear too upset when inquiring about well-being.

When you ask how I've been

Preparing for a response about trying to improve.

And I say trying to do better

Stating the ongoing effort to do better in life.

Well you can have the car

Offering to relinquish material possessions like car, house, kids, etc.

The house

-

The kids

-

Two car garage

-

Right on the lake

-

I threw my phone in

Symbolically detaching from communication by throwing the phone into the lake.

Cause there's some calls I can't take

-

You could have a big TV with a fuck off price tag

Describing extravagant possessions and choices made.

An appointment with a hooker

-

And a fake Chanel hand bag

-

Oh no

Expressing regret or dismay about repeating past actions.

Oh no

-

Oh no

-

I did it again

Admitting to not being true to oneself, striving to change, but facing challenges.

Oh no

-

Oh no

-

Oh no

-

I'm not who I said

-

But I'm trying to be

Expressing the intention to change despite facing significant obstacles.

But the mountain is steep

-

I just wanted to see

Wanting to witness someone overcoming challenges and getting back on their feet.

You get back on your feet

-

I don't wanna go change it all again

Expressing reluctance or weariness towards making significant life changes again.

I lost my love I lost my friends

Reflecting on personal losses and hoping for forgiveness in the pursuit of a meaningful life.

I see the other side of a life worth living

-

I just hope that it's forgiving

-

Punch me in

Describing a journey, possibly metaphorical, involving a meadow and self-discovery.

Somewhere in the middle

-

I've been here

-

Since I was little

-

I'll run

-

Into a meadow

-

I'll find what

-

You had about you

-

That made

-

It an affliction

-

When I had

-

All this affection

-

Oh no

Expressing remorse or frustration for repeating past mistakes and not being true to oneself.

I did it again

-

Oh no

-

I'm not who I said
