[Verse 1]
Tell me that you’re gonna change, then act like this instead
I’m too old to want somebody who’s always switching up their friends
I can’t make you love me, but at least you could pretend
Scrips gonna lead to fifths until I’m fucked out of my head
(Explanation Of Verse 1)
The first verse sets the tone for the song, expressing frustration and a desire for change in a relationship. The narrator confronts the other person, asking them to promise change but observes that actions speak louder than words. The reference to being “too old to want somebody who’s always switching up their friends” suggests a weariness with instability and inconsistency. The narrator acknowledges the impossibility of forcing someone to love them but hopes for at least a semblance of affection. The mention of “scrips gonna lead to fifths” suggests a reliance on substances as a coping mechanism, indicating a state of being overwhelmed and possibly seeking escape through intoxication.
[Verse 2]
I know it’s my fault, I pick up your phone calls
When it’s half-past one, and you’re halfway drunk
You say you love me, and it sounds so dumb
But you’re the only one I can’t run away from
(Explanation Of Verse 2)
The second verse delves deeper into the narrator’s role in the tumultuous relationship. The admission of fault in picking up phone calls at inconvenient times and engaging with the other person, even when they’re intoxicated, highlights a sense of emotional entanglement. The contradictory nature of the other person’s declaration of love is acknowledged, described as sounding “dumb.” Despite recognizing the absurdity of the situation, the narrator admits an inability to escape, emphasizing the emotional hold the other person has on them.
