Lyrics
It's time for a drink or to stop and think
Contemplating the need for a break or self-reflection
But I only ever think about what's wrong with me
Constantly dwelling on personal flaws and shortcomings
I washed my hands. I washed your feet
Symbolic act of cleansing and servitude, questioning its relevance
But maybe that's not meant for me
Doubting if certain actions or gestures are appropriate for the speaker
Maybe that's not meant for me
Reiterating uncertainty about suitability for certain experiences
Because I've been living this life of sin
Acknowledging a life characterized by sinful behavior
That I wouldn't trade for your heaven
Valuing the current lifestyle despite its moral implications
Damn, I had fun with the things I did
Reflecting on past indulgences with a sense of enjoyment
Maybe I'll be forgiven
Expressing a hope for forgiveness for past actions
I'm running just like you said
Following a path as advised, facing challenges and restlessness
It's hard to sleep or get some peace
Struggling with inner turmoil and difficulty finding peace
Once you got in my head
Referencing someone who has become a persistent thought in the speaker's mind
But what's the point of sleep of dreams
Questioning the significance of dreams if they only exist in memory
If they live and die in memory?
Questioning the purpose of family bonds
What's the point of family?
Questioning the value of relationships and existence
What's the point of you and me
Anticipating separation in the coming year
When next year I'll be going?
Accepting an aspect of oneself that needs improvement
Next year I'll be gone
Procrastination in addressing personal issues
There's a part of me I need to fix
Acknowledging personal shortcomings and mistakes
I haven't gotten around to it
Expressing deep love despite personal imperfections
But for all my faults and all my flaws
Reassurance from a partner about not leaving
I loved you above them all
Expressing doubt about the sincerity of a partner's love
You say that you're not leaving me
Questioning the authenticity of love given the circumstances
But how can you say honestly
Expressing skepticism about a partner's commitment
That you love me too through thick and thin
Challenging the partner's claim of loving through thick and thin
When you don't know me and you're choosing him?
Expressing pain and betrayal due to a partner's choices
You're running just like I said
Noting a partner's actions mirroring earlier advice
It's hard to sleep or get some peace
Experiencing difficulty finding peace with the partner's presence
When you've got him in your bed
Highlighting challenges when a third party is in the picture
But someday soon you'll call to see
Speculating on a potential reunion with the partner
If you can move back in with me
Offering support and willingness to accommodate the partner
I'll give you anything you need
Promising to fulfill the partner's needs
Do you remember where I keep my keys?
Recalling shared memories and practical details
Life keeps moving forward but I don't know where you are
Expressing uncertainty about the future and the partner's whereabouts
Maybe I'll get lucky and run into you at the bar
Expressing hope to encounter the partner in a casual setting
The next time I'm in town because I'm a couple of states away
Acknowledging physical distance but remaining open to connection
But if you say you need me
Expressing readiness to respond if the partner expresses a need
I'll always find a way
Committing to finding a solution or resolution
