Just Tonight
Tonight's Choices: Numbness, Desires, and Consequences
Lyrics
Here we are
Arrival at a certain situation/moment
And I can't think from all the pills, hey
Feeling mentally clouded due to medication
Start the car and take me home
Desire to leave the current place and go home
Here we are
Repeated arrival at the same situation/moment
And your too drunk to hear a word I say
Someone being too intoxicated to comprehend communication
Start the car and take me home
Desire to leave the current place and go home
Just tonight I will stay and well throw it all away
Decision to stay just for this night and abandon everything
When the light hits your eyes
Observation of a telling expression in the eyes
Its telling me I'm right
Feeling validated by the observed expression
And if I, I am through
If the speaker decides to leave, it's because of the other person
Then its all because of you
Attributing potential departure to the actions of the other person
Just tonight
Emphasizing the decision to stay just for tonight
Here I am
Speaker's disoriented state of mind
And I can't seem to see straight
Inability to focus or see clearly due to a condition
But I'm too numb to feel right now
Feeling emotionally detached and unable to feel at the moment
And here I am
Continued state of being emotionally numb
Watching the clock that's ticking away my time
Feeling like time is passing away
I'm too numb to feel right now
Continued emotional numbness affecting perception of time
Just tonight I will stay and well throw it all away
Reiteration of the decision to stay just for tonight and discard everything
When the light hits your eyes
Recognition of a telling expression in the eyes
Its telling me I'm right
Feeling affirmed by the observed expression
And if I, I am through
If departure happens, it's attributed to the other person
Then its all because of you
Assigning responsibility for potential departure to the other person
Just tonight
Emphasizing the decision to stay just for tonight
Do you understand who I am do you wanna know
Seeking understanding and recognition of the self
Can you really see through me
Questioning the depth of perception about the speaker
Now I have got to go
Expressing the need to depart from the situation
Just tonight
Reiterating the decision to stay just for tonight
I won't leave
Commitment to not leave on this particular night
And ill lie and you'll believe
Intention to deceive and the other person's willingness to believe
Just tonight
Emphasizing the decision to stay just for tonight
I will see that its all because of me
Acceptance of responsibility for the situation
Just tonight I will stay and well throw it all away
Reiteration of the decision to stay just for tonight
When the light hits your eyes
Recognition of a telling expression in the eyes
Its telling me I'm right
Feeling validated by the observed expression
And if I, I am through
If departure happens, it's attributed to the other person
Then its all because of you
Assigning responsibility for potential departure to the other person
Just tonight
Emphasizing the decision to stay just for tonight
Its all because of you
Attributing potential departure to the actions of the other person
Just tonight
Reiteration of the decision to stay just for tonight
Its all because of you
Attributing potential departure to the actions of the other person
Just tonight
Reiteration of the decision to stay just for tonight
Its all because of you
Attributing potential departure to the actions of the other person
Just tonight
Emphasizing the decision to stay just for tonight and attributing potential departure to the other person
