That's The Night
A Night Unraveled: Surf Trash's Tale of Unexpected Turns
Lyrics
We were in the taxi the night was young
We were together in a taxi, and the evening was still early.
cause you were in the backseat and I was in the front
You were seated in the back, and I was in the front.
but that's the night that things went wrong
However, that specific night took a turn for the worse.
we were just two friends looking for fun
We were just two friends seeking enjoyment or entertainment.
Take your time hurry up
Advise to take one's time but also a sense of urgency.
pour it slow fill my cup
Encouraging a slow pour into the cup.
I don't wanna be the one to
Reluctance to be the bearer of potentially unpleasant truths.
tell you something that isn't true
Expressing a desire not to convey something false.
We were in the back streets walking around
We were wandering in less-traveled streets.
you had a smile and I had a frown
You had a positive demeanor, while I was feeling down.
but that's the night that things went down
Yet, that particular night marked a downturn in events.
Take your time hurry up
Similar to lines 6-9, repeating the advice and feelings.
pour it slow fill my cup
Reiteration of the enjoyment-seeking aspect.
I don't wanna be the one to
Continued reluctance to convey potentially untrue information.
tell you something that isn't true
Continued expression of a desire for honesty.
I don't wanna be the one to
Repetition of the reluctance to convey potentially false information.
tell you something that isn't true
Emphasizing the importance of truthfulness.
(true)
Repetition with emphasis (true).
Take your time hurry up
Similar to lines 6-9 and 15-18, repeating advice and feelings.
pour it slow fill my cup
Reiteration of the encouragement for a slow pour.
I don't wanna be the one to
Continued reluctance to convey potentially untrue information.
tell you something that isn't true
Continued expression of a desire for honesty.
I don't wanna be the one to
Repetition of the reluctance to convey potentially false information.
tell you something that isn't true
Emphasizing the importance of truthfulness.
(true)
Repetition with emphasis (true).
