Probably At A Bar
Chris Bandi Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You didn′t
If you think that midnight miss you call's gonna come
It isn′t
If you think I'm heartbroke, all alone, livin' under some rock
I hate to say it but I′m not
Girl I
Orderin' another round
Alone next to my long lost friends
Know I know you never did like that
I am makin′ up for all the time I
I wasted back when you were mine
You always knew it all
It shouldn't be hard
If you′re lookin' for me
I′m probably at a bar
If there was a time to try to work things out
You missed it (yeah, you missed it)
If you got a thing or two to get off your chest
Well, I get it
Yeah, it's safe to assume that I can't really talk
If this light and that neon are tying one on
Girl I
I′m probably at a bar downtown
Orderin′ another round
Alone next to my long lost friends
Know I know you never did like that
I am makin' up for all the time I
I wasted back when you were mine
You always knew it all
It shouldn′t be hard
If you're lookin′ for me
I'm probably at a bar
Oh, I′m probably at a bar
You can think I'm missing you
Oh, baby if you want to
But girl I
I'm probably at a bar downtown
Orderin′ another round
Alone next to my long lost friends
Know I know you never did like that
I am makin′ up for all the time I
I wasted back when you were mine
You always knew it all
It shouldn't be hard
If you′re lookin' for me
I′m probably at a bar
I'm sittin′ drinkin' at a bar
The lyrics of Chris Bandi's song "Probably At A Bar" tell the story of a man who is moving on from a failed relationship. He addresses his ex-girlfriend, who he assumes is looking for him. He tells her that she didn't see his truck driving by her house, and that she shouldn't expect him to answer her late-night missed calls. He assures her that he's not heartbroken and that he's not living under a rock. Instead, the man reveals that he's probably at a bar downtown, ordering another round, and catching up with his long lost friends.
The chorus repeats multiple times throughout the song, emphasizing the idea that the man is not pining over his ex. He acknowledges that she never liked him hanging out at bars with his friends, but he's making up for lost time now that she's out of his life. He's not interested in rekindling their failed relationship, as it seems she missed her chance to try to work things out. He encourages her to think what she wants about him missing her, but he's moved on and enjoying his new freedom.
The song tells a relatable story about moving on from a past relationship and finding new happiness. The lyrics are straightforward and easy to understand, making it easy for listeners to connect with the song. The energetic beat and catchy chorus make it a popular sing-along at parties and bars.
