Nobody Likes Moving On
Embracing Painful Goodbyes: Nobody Likes Moving On
Lyrics
We can build a wall downtown
We can create a barrier or separation in the city center.
We can build a wall and divide the places we hang out
We can build a metaphorical wall to separate the places we used to frequent together.
And our friends will get caught up in the middle
Our friends may find themselves caught in the middle of our relationship dynamics.
Will they hate us now?
Wondering if our friends will resent us now due to the changes in our relationship.
Seems like it's the only thing we'll ever wanna talk about
Our breakup might dominate our conversations for a while.
At least for a while, yeah
Discussing the breakup will be a predominant topic, at least for a period.
I'll admit, yeah, yeah
Admitting that overcoming the breakup will require time and effort.
It will take some time
Recognizing that healing will be a gradual process.
To get over us
Acknowledging the challenge of moving on from the relationship.
And I know I'm gonna feel like shit the minute you go
Anticipating feeling awful as soon as the partner departs.
And you're gonna miss the make-up that I left on your pillow
Expecting the partner to miss the remnants of the relationship, like makeup left on the pillow.
It will hurt until it doesn't if we keep moving on, mmm
Expressing that the pain will persist until the process of moving on is complete.
And I know it's gonna suck to spend my birthday alone
Knowing that spending the birthday alone will be challenging.
But the money that we saved up, we can spend on our own
Suggesting that the money saved from the breakup can be used independently.
It's gonna sting a little 'cause nobody likes moving on
Highlighting the discomfort associated with moving on, as nobody enjoys it.
When you're moving on
Reiterating the difficulty of moving on.
But can I keep your favorite shirt?
Requesting to keep a tangible item (favorite shirt) as a memento.
The one that's a little too big with the cigarette burns
Describing the shirt's features, such as being oversized with cigarette burns.
So I can smile about the things that used to get on my nerves
Planning to find solace in memories associated with the shirt.
And you can keep calling when you've had a few and slurring your words
Allowing the partner to call and share drunken thoughts, at least for a while.
At least for a while, yeah
I'll admit, yeah, yeah
Reiterating the acknowledgment that healing is a gradual process.
It will take some time
Recognizing the challenge of moving on from the relationship.
To get over us
And I know I'm gonna feel like shit the minute you go
Expecting the partner to miss the remnants of the relationship, like makeup left on the pillow.
And you're gonna miss the make-up that I left on your pillow
Expressing that the pain will persist until the process of moving on is complete.
It will hurt until it doesn't if we keep moving on, mmm
Knowing that spending the birthday alone will be challenging.
And I know it's gonna suck to spend my birthday alone
Suggesting that the money saved from the breakup can be used independently.
But the money that we saved up, we can spend on our own
Highlighting the discomfort associated with moving on, as nobody enjoys it.
It's gonna sting a little 'cause nobody likes moving on
Reiterating the difficulty of moving on.
When you're moving on
Emphasizing the challenge of moving on.
When you're moving on
Repeating the idea of moving on.
When you're moving on
-I think I'm gonna hurt someone
Expressing frustration and a desire to hurt someone due to the breakup.
It will take a few times to convince myself you weren't the one
Acknowledging the need to convince oneself multiple times that the ex-partner wasn't the one.
No, you weren't the one
Affirming that the ex-partner wasn't the right one for the individual.
