Dirty AF1s
Alexander 23 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I hope you bought a new one but I'd love you toothless
I used to sing while in the shower now I don't
'Cause you're not there to sing along while you put your makeup on
You took your smile back to New York but you left your toothbrush
And I love you just the same
But I'm worried words lose weight
From three thousand miles away?
From three thousand miles away
From three
I used to like to go out before I met you
Now I just go out to forget you
Put my nice shoes on so strangers can't tell
That I miss your dirty Air Force Ones
I used to like to go out before I met you
Now I just go out to forget you
Put my favorite shirt on so strangers don't know
That it looks way better on you
I took my heart to California, now it doesn't work right
Yeah, it beats and, yeah, it bleeds, but damn, it hurts every night
And you're not lonely just because you are alone
But every since we said goodbye, well, I just happen to be both
I took my heart to California, now it's broken
And I love you just the same
But I'm worried words lose weight
Does it hit you just as hard
From three thousand miles away?
From three thousand miles away
From three
I used to like to go out before I met you
Now I just go out to forget you
Put my nice shoes on so strangers can't tell
That I miss your dirty Air Force Ones
I used to like to go out before I met you
Now I just go out to forget you
Put my favorite shirt on so strangers don't know
That it looks way better on you
The song "Dirty AF1s" by Alexander 23 is a heart-wrenching ballad about a love that has ended. The song is filled with contrasts and metaphors, showcasing the emotional complexity of the songwriter's experiences. The verse "You took your smile back to New York but you left your toothbrush" depicts the end of a relationship, where the lover has left but left behind a part of herself, represented by the toothbrush. The songwriter expresses his desire to have his lover back, even if it were just toothless. He references their shared moments, such as singing together while she puts on her makeup.
The chorus of the song "Dirty AF1s" highlights the pain that the songwriter feels after the breakup. He admits that he still loves her just as much, but he's worried that his words carry less weight now that they are apart. The distance has made it difficult for him to gauge the impact of his feelings on her. The metaphor of being hit from three thousand miles away represents the emotional distance between them.
The songwriter reveals that his heart is now in California, but it doesn't work right anymore. He compares his heart to a machine that is broken and no longer functioning correctly. The lyric "But every since we said goodbye, well, I just happen to be both" shows that he is now alone and lonely. The song continues with more references to their past, such as missing her dirty Air Force Ones and how her absence has changed his life.

I still have feelings for you, but distance may cause them to lose their significance. I wonder if it affects you the same way.
I used to like to go out before I met you
Now I just go out to forget you
Put my nice shoes on so strangers can't tell
That I miss your dirty Air Force Ones
I used to enjoy going out, but now I only do it to distract myself from thoughts of you. I wear my best shoes so no one will notice that I miss your worn-out Air Force Ones.
I took my heart to California, now it doesn't work right
Yeah, it beats and, yeah, it bleeds, but damn, it hurts every night
And you're not lonely just because you are alone
But every since we said goodbye, well, I just happen to be both
I moved away to California, but my heart hasn't been the same since. It still beats and hurts, reminding me of our separation. Being alone doesn't necessarily equate to loneliness, but I happen to be experiencing both since you left.
Put my favorite shirt on so strangers don't know
That it looks way better on you
I wear my favorite shirt, but only when I'm out. I put it on so people won't notice that it used to look even better on you.

You took your smile back to New York
But you left your toothbrush
And I hope you bought a new one
But I'd love you toothless
I used to sing while in the shower, now I don't
'Cause you're not there to sing along
While you put your makeup on
You took your smile back to New York
But you left your toothbrush
And I love you just the same
But I'm worried words lose weight
Does it hit you just as hard from three thousand miles away?
From three thousand miles away, from three
I used to like to go out before I met you
Now I just go out to forget you
Put my nice shoes on so strangers
Can't tell that I miss your dirty Air Force 1's
I used to like to go out before I met you
Now I just go out to forget you
Put my favourite shirt on so strangers
Don't know that it looks way better on you
Took my heart to California
Now it doesn't work right
Yeah, it beats and, yeah, it beats
But damn it hurts every night
You're not lonely just because you are alone
But ever since we said goodbye
Well, I just happen to be both
I took my heart to California, now it's broken
And I love you just the same
But I'm worried words lose weight
Does it hit you just as hard from three thousand miles away?
From three thousand miles away, from three
I used to like to go out before I met you
Now I just go out to forget you
Put my nice shoes on so strangers
Can't tell that I miss your dirty Air Force 1's
I used to like to go out before I met you
Now I just go out to forget you
Put my favourite shirt on so strangers
Don't know that it looks way better on you
