Lyrics
Tonight we're swinging for the fences
Tonight, the speaker is aiming for significant achievements or success.
Tonight we might not make it home
There's uncertainty about returning home safely tonight.
Tonight we're dropping on your fences
The speaker is challenging or confronting obstacles.
Tonight we're rotting to the bone
There's an acknowledgment of facing difficulties or decay.
I'm not out looking for an answer
The speaker is not seeking solutions or answers.
I'm not out for a cure
No pursuit of a remedy; a reference to a past life as a dancer.
She says she used to be a dancer
Someone (possibly the speaker) claims a past life as a dancer, but it's blurry.
And the rest is a blur, yeah
The details after being a dancer are unclear or forgotten.
I'm gonna build a perfect liar
The speaker intends to create a deceptive character, naming it after someone.
I'm gonna name it after you
The speaker plans to name the liar after someone specific.
We're coming home a little higher
Returning home with elevated emotions or experiences.
We're coming home a little low
Returning home with diminished emotions or experiences.
I got no plans for the weekend
No specific plans for the weekend.
I got no plans for tonight
No specific plans for tonight.
We got bored and started drinking
Boredom led to drinking and seeking confrontation.
And now we're looking for a fight
The consequence of boredom is a search for a fight.
I know what you're thinking
Awareness of the listener's thoughts about the situation.
Two wrongs don't make a right
Recognition that two wrongs do not justify each other.
But two wrongs feel alright
Despite the recognition, the speaker feels okay about two wrongs.
Tonight
Reiteration of the challenging situation or night.
Tonight
Repetition emphasizing the current night.
It feels alright
A confirmation that the situation feels acceptable.
Tonight
Reiteration of the speaker's emotional state tonight.
(Hey)
An interjection expressing a call for attention or agreement.
Send someone to rescue me
A request for assistance or rescue.
Send someone to catch us right

We're falling
Acknowledging a descent or decline in the situation.
That's why I'm calling
The reason for the call for help is explained.
I know what you're thinking
Reiteration of the listener's likely thoughts about the situation.
But two wrongs will never make a right
Despite the recognition, two wrongs will not make the situation right.
But two wrongs, can feel alright
The acknowledgment that, despite this, two wrongs can feel acceptable.
Tonight
Reiteration of the challenging nature of the night.
Tonight
Repetition emphasizing the current night.
It feels alright
A confirmation that the situation feels acceptable.
Tonight
