Lyrics
Counting squares on the ceiling like stars
Contemplating life's monotony, finding solace in the mundane.
Don't wanna do something new
Resisting change or new experiences.
Hear the trees wrestle in the dark
Perceiving nature's sounds in the darkness, possibly reflecting a somber mood.
Can't have a good time for you
Unable to enjoy oneself for the sake of someone else.
I, I don't wanna feel this paradise
Rejecting a supposed paradise or happiness.
I, I'm just gonna shut the blinds and
Choosing to close off from external influences.
I'm staying in, staying in
Deciding to stay indoors, avoiding external engagements.
This time
Emphasizing the current moment.
Double shot, set it up on my bedside
Preparing a strong alcoholic drink near the bed.
And I'm drinking for two tonight
Indulging in alcohol as a way of coping or escape.
Tonight I'm drinking for two (Two, Two, Two, Two)
Repeatedly expressing the act of drinking for two, suggesting missing companionship.
Two (Two, Two, Two, Two)
-Tonight I'm drinking for two (Two, Two, Two, Two)
-Two (Two, Two, Two, Two)
-Tonight I'm drinking for two
-If you were here, I would never let go
Expressing a desire to hold onto someone if they were present.
Hold me in the deep blue sea
Metaphorically seeking comfort in a deep emotional connection.
In these waves I feel alone
Feeling isolated despite the presence of friends.
Even though I've got friends with me
Conveying a sense of loneliness even in a social setting.
I, I don't wanna feel this paradise
Reiterating a rejection of an idealized state of happiness.
I need you here, you're nowhere near me
Longing for someone's physical presence.
Just gonna shut my eyes and
Choosing to shut off from the external world through closed eyes.
I'm staying in, staying in
Repeating the decision to stay indoors and avoid external interactions.
This time
Reiterating the importance of the present moment.
Double shot, set it up on my bedside
Preparing another strong drink near the bed.
And I'm drinking for two tonight
Continuing the theme of drinking for two, emphasizing the absence of a significant other.
Tonight I'm drinking for two (Two, Two, Two, Two)
-Two (Two, Two, Two, Two)
-Tonight I'm drinking for two (Two, Two, Two, Two)
-Two (Two, Two, Two, Two)
-Tonight I'm drinking for two (Two, Two, Two, Two)
Repeating the notion of drinking for two, underscoring a sense of loneliness.
I'm on vacation but I miss your trouble
Acknowledging a vacation but still missing someone's presence and the associated challenges.
The sort of love you can't leave at home
Describing a type of love that can't be left behind.
So every shot I take is a double
Linking each drink to a doubled experience, possibly representing the emotional weight of the absent love.
I clink my drink into the phone
Symbolically toasting the absent person through the phone.
With you (Ooh, Ooh, Ooh, Ooh)
Repeating the word "You" as a constant presence in thought.
You (Ooh, Ooh, Ooh, Ooh)
-You (Ooh, Ooh, Ooh, Ooh)
-You (Ooh, Ooh, Ooh, Ooh)
-Tonight I'm drinking for two (Two, Two, Two, Two)
Repeatedly emphasizing the act of drinking for two, reinforcing the theme of missing companionship.
Two (Two, Two, Two, Two)
-Tonight I'm drinking for two (Two, Two, Two, Two)
-Two (Two, Two, Two, Two)
-Tonight I'm drinking for two (Two, Two, Two, Two)
-Two (Two, Two, Two, Two)
-Tonight I'm drinking for two (Two, Two, Two, Two)
-Two (Two, Two, Two, Two)
-Tonight I'm drinking for two
Reiterating the commitment to drinking for two in the present moment.
