Late Nights and Lost Wallets: Seeking Solace in Sleep
Lyrics
Should I go home, or just have another?
Contemplating whether to go home or continue drinking.
Drink tonight, maybe just one or two more
Considering having one or two more drinks tonight.
I know, I'm out of control
Acknowledging a lack of self-control.
I guess I will, but that's not the problem
Deciding to go home, but facing a different problem (left wallet).
The issue is, I left my wallet at home
Highlighting the issue of leaving the wallet at home.
I know, so typical
Recognizing the situation as typical or common.
I just need some fucking sleep
Expressing a strong desire for sleep.
I need something strong to hold me over
Seeking something potent to endure the current state.
Something easy on the mind
Desiring something mentally soothing.
Something smooth to close my eyes
Seeking a smooth experience to help close the eyes.
I haven't seen you once
Noticing the absence of someone.
But how about next year?
Suggesting a future meeting, possibly avoiding the present issues.
Cause you'll say that I'm alright
Anticipating being declared fine despite personal knowledge of not being okay.
But I know that I'm not fine
Internal recognition of personal struggles despite external appearance.
Believe me, I know that you're wrong
Acknowledging awareness of being right despite contrary opinions.
But your words are not mistaken
Accepting that the words spoken are not false.
It's the empty way you say em'
Noting the emptiness or lack of sincerity in the way words are said.
Trust me, there is no where to hide
Emphasizing the inability to hide due to someone's attempt to shut them down.
Cause you tried to shut me down
Reflecting on the difficulty of avoiding unpleasant truths.
But it's hard not finding out
Expressing the challenge of discovering uncomfortable facts.
I just need some fucking sleep
Reiterating the strong need for sleep.
I need something strong to hold me over
Repeating the desire for something potent to endure the current state.
Something easy on the mind
Reiterating the need for something mentally soothing.
Something smooth to close my eyes
Repeating the need for a smooth experience to help close the eyes.
I haven't seen you once
Repeating the absence of someone in their life.
But how about next year?
Suggesting a future meeting as a potential solution.
Cause you'll say that I'm alright
Anticipating being declared fine in the future despite present struggles.
But I know that I'm not fine
Reiterating personal knowledge of not being fine despite external assurances.
And if never get to sleep tonight
Expressing uncertainty about getting sleep tonight.
Can I call you, in the morning?
Pondering the possibility of seeking comfort by calling someone in the morning.
You'll probably tell me it'll be alright
Expecting reassurance in the morning despite doubts.
But you don't know, no you don't know, no you don't know
Emphasizing the lack of understanding from the other person.
