I Get Nervous In Cars
Struggles Unveiled: A Son's Plea for Redemption in 'I Get Nervous In Cars'
Lyrics
You said this time would be the last
You promised that this would be the final instance
You said that it's over
You declared that the relationship is concluded
You swore to me you'd put the bottle back down
You pledged to refrain from drinking
So many times I've tried to teach you
I attempted multiple times to guide you
To keep you from losing another one
To prevent you from losing another person
'Cause she can see right through all the excuses you feed her
She can easily see through the excuses you provide
And I know that I can't find any kind of definition
I am unable to find a clear explanation
'Cause you seem so dead to me
You appear emotionally numb to me
Do you still ask yourself
Are you still questioning yourself?
"Will they remember me?"
Wondering if you will be remembered
Do you still ask your self
Repeating the self-inquiry
"Why do I even try?"
Expressing doubt about the purpose of trying
"'Cause we'd die fighting to keep you alive"
We would fight passionately to keep you alive
You said so softly to me once while waiting for her
You softly mentioned this while waiting for her
You've got so much, so much...
You possess a great deal...
You know, son
A paternal figure advising
You've got the world on your shoulders
You bear a significant burden
And son, you've got the world on your shoulders
A repetition emphasizing the weight on your shoulders
So carry me home, carry me...
Requesting to be carried home
I know it won't change, no it won't change
A acknowledgment that the situation won't improve
No, it won't go away
The problem persists and won't disappear
And I can't bare to watch you do this to yourself another time
I cannot bear to witness you repeating this self-destructive behavior
You said that it's over
You reiterated that it's finished
I can't believe you'd ever lie to her
Expressing disbelief that you would lie to her
Why?
Pose a question, asking why
So many times I've tried to teach you
I've made numerous attempts to educate you
To keep you from losing her again
To prevent you from losing her again
