I Hit the Ground Crawlin'
Redemption in the Crawl: A Tale of Regret and Return
Lyrics
It's true, I lied, I cheated
Admitting to lying and cheating
And the truth is, that ain't all
Acknowledging that lying and cheating are not the only wrongdoings
While you were thinking of me
Pointing out the self-centered focus while the partner was thinking about the speaker
I was busy thinking of myself
Self-awareness of preoccupation with personal thoughts over the partner's
I never gave and I took all I needed
Confessing to a lack of reciprocity in the relationship
Running wild until you walked
Engaging in reckless behavior until the partner left
And since you left
Acknowledging the partner's departure
If you're wondering where I fell
Expressing uncertainty about where the downfall occurred
Well I hit the ground crawling
Describing a low point after the breakup
I heard your memory calling
Hearing memories of the past relationship
And I can see from the bottom
Indicating a state of despair using alcohol
Of this bottle I'm clinging to
Emphasizing the emotional attachment to a bottle as a coping mechanism
That the reason you're long gone
Realizing that the cause of separation was mistreatment of the partner
Is that I treated you so wrong
Understanding personal responsibility for the relationship's failure
But I hit the ground crawling
Expressing a commitment to reconcile by crawling back
Right back to you
Reiterating the intention to return to the partner
To get us back together
Expressing willingness to do whatever it takes to reunite
I'll cry, I'll beg, I'll bend
Committing to emotional vulnerability through crying, begging, and bending
I swear I've learned my lesson
Claiming to have learned from past mistakes
Darling don't give up on me
Pleading with the partner not to give up on the speaker
'Cause the nights go on forever
Describing the prolonged agony of loneliness
Will the heartache ever end
Questioning if the heartache will ever cease
Can't stand to live without you
Expressing inability to live without the partner
I'm begging on bended knee
Begging for reconciliation on bended knee
'Cause I hit the ground crawling
Reiterating the act of crawling back to the partner
I heard your memory calling
Hearing persistent memories and calls from the past
And I can see from the bottom
Highlighting the reliance on alcohol for solace
Of this bottle I'm clinging to
Emphasizing the emotional attachment to the bottle
That the reason you're long gone
Understanding the cause of the partner's departure
Is that I treated you so wrong
Acknowledging personal responsibility for the relationship's failure
But I hit the ground crawling
Reiterating the commitment to crawl back to the partner
Right back to you
Affirming the determination to return to the partner
Yeah, I hit the ground crawling
Stating the repeated act of crawling back to the partner
Right back to you
Reaffirming the commitment to return to the partner
