STICKY FLOORS
Dance Through Time: Love and Regret on Sticky Floors
Lyrics
On these sticky floors where we first met
Reflecting on the place where the initial encounter happened, possibly regretting the passing of time and money spent.
Where most regret the pace of time and pace of cheques that are spent
Regretting the passage of time and money spent by most individuals in such places.
I had your voice in my hand
Recalling the memory of hearing the other person's voice.
Girl yours was next
Expressing a desire to connect with the other person, indicating they are next in significance.
Cause we were two drinks apart from the start of the end
Describing the proximity between them and the inevitability of the relationship ending.
It's sounds like
Describing a sound effect that might indicate a feeling or mood.
Sha La La La La La
An onomatopoeic representation of a sound without a clear purpose.
I don't know what for
Uncertainty about the reason behind the sound mentioned.
I can't believe it I'm just hitting the floor
Feeling overwhelmed and unable to comprehend the situation.
My heads feeling nervous and girl I can't really talk
Physical and emotional discomfort, making communication difficult.
I need you to be mine, forget all the scores
Expressing a desire to be with the other person, disregarding any past conflicts.
Forget all the scores
Reiteration of the desire to let go of past disagreements.
Please believe
Requesting belief in the sincerity of intentions.
I'm really tryna see what it is in your mind that divides you from me
Expressing a genuine effort to understand what separates them mentally.
Cause I don't think that we've met yet
Uncertainty about truly knowing the other person.
I think you're divine
Complimenting the person's exceptional qualities.
I think you're better than divine
Admiration beyond ordinary admiration.
And I think it's time I really told you how your priceless
Expressing the urgency to convey the person's immeasurable value.
Cause girl you've got me lifeless
Feeling emotionally affected and deeply connected to the person.
And for many nights I'll wonder why
Pondering over the emotional impact and longing caused by the person.
My real side take up your pastel blue eyes
Describing the captivating effect of the person's eyes.
And all I've got is this photo to remind me that you're real
Having a photograph as a reminder of the person's existence.
And the drunk tone of your voice note that sounded so surreal
Recalling a voice message from the person, which seemed surreal in the state of intoxication.
It went like
Referencing a familiar sound effect.
Sha la la la la la
Repeating the onomatopoeic sound.
I can't remember where I heard that song or if it even was a song
Uncertain memory of where the sound originated.
But listen
Emphasizing the need to address something long overdue.
It's been too long and I've really got to get it out of me now
Feeling an urgent need to express something.
I think
Speculating about a significant experience.
I think that the worst night of their life was the best night of mine
Perceiving a contrast in the experience between the speaker and the other person.
Please believe
Reiterating the sincerity in attempting to understand the mental divide.
I'm really tryna see what it is in your mind that divides you from me
Expressing uncertainty about truly knowing the other person.
Cause I don't think that we've met yet
Reiteration of the exceptional qualities of the person.
I think you're divine
Reaffirming the extraordinary admiration for the person.
I think you're better than divine
Reaffirming the urgency to convey the person's immeasurable value.
And I think it's time I really told you how your priceless
Feeling emotionally affected and deeply connected to the person.
Cause girl you've got me lifeless
Expressing the overwhelming impact the person has on the speaker.
