Lyrics
How the fuck did we end up here

Listen to you play my heart like a drum
Accusing the listener of toying with the speaker's emotions.
One hand counting up my fears
Counting fears with one hand, suggesting a manageable number, but still acknowledging them.
It’s getting hard to breathe here under your thumb
Feeling suffocated or oppressed in the relationship.
Tried to run away but you swayed to me
Attempted escape, but the listener's influence is strong.
Palm trees pool water clear
Describing a serene scene, possibly contrasting with the turbulence in the relationship.
I can tell that love is a game for ya
Observation that love seems like a game to the listener.
Pulling on my heartstrings like a puppeteer
Feeling controlled, manipulated, or influenced by the listener.
Motel floor where the ash land
Describing a location, possibly reflecting a temporary or transient state.
Cigarette smoke chandelier

No rooms left where we crash landed

But I’m home every time you draw near
Feeling at home when close to the listener.
Baby we can treat the backseat like a penthouse
Suggesting intimacy in unconventional places, like a backseat treated as a penthouse.
Been a couple years since digging you out

You done rolled all my weed up

Floating on my back watch the world burn down
