Blindside
Love's Unexpected Blow: A Journey of Heartache
Lyrics
It was just another night
Reflecting on a typical night
Sittin' round hanging out on the town
Hanging out casually in town
'Cause she really got me good
Expressing the impact of someone on the speaker
Walkin' out never thought she would
Unexpectedly walking away
Now I'm left here with my head down
Feeling down after the departure
Hoping this drink will make the memory drown
Seeking solace in a drink
'Cause right now I don't think I can stand
Struggling to cope with the situation
Another minute not holding her hand
Longing to hold the person's hand
And every time I think about it
Reflecting on the impact of the separation
I wish that I could live without it
Desiring to live without the memories
But every night I end at this place
Frequently ending up in a specific place
So I'm gonna order two more whiskeys
Deciding to drown sorrows in whiskey
Sit and sip until the feelings get me over you, over you yeah
Using alcohol to overcome feelings
So pour 'em on strong don't hold back now
Encouraging strong pouring of drinks
Keep 'em comin' till I can't think back on holdin' you, holdin' you
Continuing to drink until memories fade
'Cause you hit me like a blindside
Comparing the impact to a blindsided attack
Yeah, you hit me like a blindside
Reiterating the sudden and unexpected emotional blow
Just when I think I've moved on
Believing to have moved on, but thoughts linger
You're still here sittin' in my mind
The person's presence still in the speaker's mind
In the bar, on the stage, in my bed
Mentions various places where memories persist
Your last words playin' in my head, yeah
Recalling the impact of the person's last words
So I'm gonna order two more whiskeys
Repeating the decision to drink more
Sit and sip till the feelings get me over you, over you
Continuing to use alcohol to cope with feelings
So pour 'em on strong don't hold back now
Emphasizing the need for strong drinks
Keep 'em comin' till I can't think back on holdin' you, holdin' you
Drinking until memories of holding the person fade
'Cause you hit me like a blindside
Repeating the blindsided impact
Oh, you hit me like a blindside
Reiterating the emotional shock
And every time I think about it, I wanna be ok without it
Desiring to be okay without the person
But everywhere I look I see your face
Seeing reminders of the person everywhere
So I'm gonna order two more whiskeys
Continuing the pattern of drinking
Sit and sip till the feelings get me over you, over you
Using alcohol to manage lingering feelings
So pour 'em on strong don't hold back now
Emphasizing the need for strong drinks
Keep 'em comin' till I can't think back on holdin' you, holdin' you
Drinking until memories of holding the person fade
'Cause you hit me like a blindside
Repeating the blindsided impact
Oh, you hit me like a blindside
Reiterating the emotional shock
And every time I think about it
Reflecting on the desire to live without memories
I wish that I could live without it
Reiterating the wish to live without memories
