Don't Wanna Be Here
Longing in Libations
Lyrics
Never thought I'd be the one
Unexpectedly finding oneself in a situation
Never thought I'd get caught up
Surprised by being entangled in something
Now I'm chasing after memories in a solo cup
Pursuing past memories through drinking
Didn't think I'd see you here
Surprised to encounter a person in a certain place
Baby you're all dressed up
Noticed someone looking elegant but accompanied by someone else
But, there's someone else beside me and it's not enough
Feeling incomplete despite being with someone else
I don't wanna be here, 'less I'm with you
Expressing a desire to only be in that place if with a particular person
But you got me drinkin' with someone new
Being influenced to drink due to being with someone new
I don't wanna be here, ain't that the truth
Acknowledging the truth of not wanting to be in that situation
But now I'm dancin' and it's not with you
Engaging in a different kind of interaction (dancing) without the desired person
I always thought I moved on
Believed to have moved past the situation
I was thinkin' you did too
Assumed the other person had moved on as well
Until you showed up in that dress I like now I'm confused
Feeling confused by unexpected emotions upon seeing the person
You know where the party's at
Awareness of where the gathering is happening
Looks like you found it too
Realizing the person is also present at the same event
Everybody's looking at us because they know what we'll do.
Sensation of being observed due to the shared history and expected actions
I don't wanna be here, 'less I'm with you
Reiteration of wanting to be in that place only with the desired person
But you got me drinkin' with someone new
Being influenced to drink again despite preferences
I don't wanna be here, ain't that the truth
Recognition of the undeniable truth about the situation
But now I'm dancin' and it's not with you
Engaging in a different activity (dancing) without the desired person
And it's not with you
Reinforcing the absence of the desired person
And it's not with you
Reaffirming the absence of the desired person
Don't wanna be here
Expressing the lack of desire to be in the current setting
Unless it's gon' be with you
Wanting to be in that place only if with the desired person
I'm drinkin', and it's not with you
Drinking, but not in the company of the desired person
Don't wanna be here
Reiterating the lack of desire to be in the current setting
Unless it's gon' be with you
Desiring to be in that place only with the desired person
I'm dancin' with someone new
Dancing with someone new, not the desired person
Never thought I'd be the jealous type
Surprised by experiencing feelings of jealousy
Bartender give me one more beer
Requesting another drink from the bartender
I'd never thought
Never anticipated a particular situation
I'd still have you on my mind
Surprised that thoughts about the person persist
I'd rather be dancin' with you
Expressing a preference for dancing with the desired person
Don't wanna be here
Reiterating the desire to be in that place only with the desired person
Unless it's gon' be with you
Wanting to be in that place exclusively with the desired person
I'm drinkin', and it's not with you
Drinking, but not with the desired person
Don't wanna be here
Expressing the lack of desire to be in the current setting
Unless it's gon' be with you
Desiring to be in that place only with the desired person
I'm dancin' with someone new
Dancing with someone new, not the desired person
