Love Drunk
Boys Like Girls Lyrics

The top down in the summer sun
The singer and their partner are driving in a convertible with the roof down on a sunny day.

The day we met was like a hit an run
The singer felt like their first encounter with their partner was momentary and unexpected, like a hit and run accident.

An I still taste it on my tongue (taste it on my tongue)
The singer still remembers their first kiss with their partner.

The sky was burning up like fireworks
The sky was bright and colorful like fireworks.

You made me want you oh so bad it hurt
The artist was strongly attracted to their partner, to the point where it was painful.

But girl, in case you haven't heard
The singer is addressing their partner, who may not have realized the impact they had on the singer.

I used to be love drunk
The singer was once completely infatuated with their partner.

But now I'm hungover
The artist's feelings have changed and they are now suffering from the after-effects of their intense emotions.

I'll love you forever
The artist used to believe their love would last forever.

Forever is over
The artist realized that their love was not as eternal as they thought.

We used to kiss all night
The singer and their partner used to spend all night kissing.

Now it's just a bar fight
Their relationship has deteriorated to the point where they just argue in bars.

So don't call me crying
The singer does not want to listen to their partner's complaints.

Say hello to goodbye
The singer is saying goodbye to their old relationship.

'Cause just one sip would make me sick
The singer cannot handle even a small amount of contact with their former love interest.

Hot sweat and blurry eyes
The artist describes the physical sensations they feel when they think about their past relationship.

We're spinning on a roller coaster ride
Their relationship was full of ups and downs, like a roller coaster.

The world stuck in black and white (stuck in black and white)
The singer's world feels dull and colorless now that their relationship has ended.

You drove me crazy every time we touched
The singer's partner made them lose control of their emotions whenever they were intimate.

But now I'm so broken that I can't get up
The artist is emotionally devastated from their relationship and cannot recover easily.

Oh girl, you make me such a lush
The artist says that their partner used to make them feel drunk with love, but now they feel like an alcoholic unable to give up a bad habit.

All the time I wasted on you
The artist regrets investing so much time and energy into their past relationship.

All the bullshit you put me through
The singer is angry at their partner for the hurt they caused them.

I'm checking into rehab 'cause everything we had
The artist is using rehab as a metaphor for the need to recover from their emotional pain and dependency on their past relationship.

Didn't mean a thing to you
The singer realizes that their partner did not value their relationship as much as they did.

But now I'm sober
The singer has finally moved on and is no longer consumed by their feelings for their ex-partner.

Now it's over
Their relationship has officially ended.

Still taste it on my tongue
The artist still remembers the intensity of their past relationship.
