Lyrics
So your tired of wakin' up on empty
Expressing weariness of waking up without fulfillment or purpose.
You left for something that ain't real
Leaving for something that is not genuine or authentic.
So you think a couple of familiar faces
Believing that reconnecting with familiar faces will bring positive change.
Is gonna turn it all around
Suggesting optimism that familiar faces can make a significant difference.
You wanna be where they still pump your gas for you
Desiring a return to a place where simple services, like pumping gas, are done for you.
Where they remember your name
Yearning for a place where personal recognition and familiarity exist.
They think that you are some beauty queen
Imagining being perceived as a beauty queen or something superior.
Or somethin' better
Continuing the theme of wanting to be recognized as special or exceptional.
Where they remember your name
Reiterating the desire for personal recognition and familiarity.
Ain't it good to think about the weather
Reflecting on the simplicity of thinking about the weather, possibly nostalgic.
Doesn't seem to be time for that no more
Noticing a lack of time for simple, reflective moments.
It's hard to hear when you're busy sayin' what you want said
Highlighting the difficulty of hearing amidst the noise of expressing oneself.
Well what you want said, it ain't clear
Stating that the desired message is unclear or not easily understood.
You wanna be where they still open doors for you
Wanting to be in a place where doors are still opened as a gesture of hospitality.
It's not hard for them to remember you at all
Emphasizing the ease with which one is remembered in a certain place.
They light your cigarette and tell their friends
Recalling a time when others were attentive to personal preferences.
You used to love them
Acknowledging past love for those who used to be close.
Where they remember your name
Desiring recognition and familiarity, repeating the theme from earlier.
More forgiveness
Expressing a need for more forgiveness in life.
More time away from feelin' like you do today
Desiring more time away from the current state of feeling.
More forgiveness
Reiterating the desire for increased forgiveness and time away from current feelings.
More time away from feelin' this way
Continuing the theme of seeking relief from the current emotional state.
It's easy when you laugh, reminds you of you
Noting that laughter is easy when it reminds one of oneself.
It's easy when it's easy, it still ain't easy at all
Observing that even when things are seemingly easy, they may still be challenging.
So you're tired of wakin' up on empty
Repeating the opening line, emphasizing the recurring dissatisfaction upon waking.
You left for something that ain't right, ain't right
Acknowledging that the departure was for something that is fundamentally wrong.
You wanna be where they still pump your gas for you
Expressing the desire to return to a place where simple services are provided.
Where they remember your name
Reiterating the wish for personal recognition and familiarity.
They think that you are some beauty queen
Imagining being perceived as a beauty queen or something superior, again.
Or somethin' better
Continuing the theme of wanting to be recognized as special or exceptional, again.
Where they remember your name
Reiterating the desire for personal recognition and familiarity, again.
More forgiveness
Expressing a need for more forgiveness in life, again.
More time away from feelin' like you do today
Desiring more time away from the current state of feeling, again.
More forgiveness
Reiterating the wish for increased forgiveness and time away from current feelings, again.
More time away from feelin' this way
Continuing the theme of seeking relief from the current emotional state, again.
