Lyrics
There was a time when
Reflecting on a past period
You were so strong
Nostalgia for a time when the listener was strong
I've been away from
Expressing a prolonged absence from the listener
You for so long
Highlighting the duration of separation
Rain's getting hard
Metaphor for challenging times
That's what she said
Quoting someone mentioning the intensity of rain
It's dripping through the windows and running to my bed
Describing rain entering the room
I've been here before
Indicating familiarity with current circumstances
Lank times, in fact
Emphasizing repeated experiences
Lying on the floor
Describing a low point, possibly emotionally
Looking for my backpack
Searching for personal belongings
Whiskey in the day
Reference to consuming alcohol during the day
Out of a hip flask
Drinking from a small, portable container
You say that stuff will kill me, but we're not built to last
Acknowledging the harmful nature of habits
So many plug points
Noticing numerous electrical outlets in the room
All around the room
Questioning the purpose of the plug points
Are you expecting company?
Wondering about the anticipation of company
Am I here too soon?
Questioning the timing of one's presence
Midnight on a Monday
Highlighting a specific time on a specific day
What have I done?
Expressing regret or confusion about past actions
I'm trying to remember where I came from
Attempting to recall one's origins
Intimidation has never worked on you
Noting resistance to intimidation
Standing up where you are and searching for the truth
Standing firm and seeking truth despite challenges
I can't believe
Expressing disbelief about a recent event
After all that
Reflecting on a significant experience
I didn't win the lottery and didn't win you back
Regret over not achieving certain goals
You called me on the phone
Recalling a phone call from the listener
To say you won't be late
Notifying about punctuality
I tried to play it cool but, man I just can't wait
Struggling to contain excitement
I've spent all night now
Devoting time to anticipation
Looking at my watch
Checking the passage of time
Wondering how long I can go without your touch
Longing for physical contact
