Creepin'
Eric Church Lyrics

Like a honybee beatin' on my screen door
I am feeling restless and constantly buzzing, like a honeybee beating against a screen door

I got a little buzz and my head is sore
My thoughts are racing, and I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed by the weight of everything on my mind

And from my bed I can feel the sun
The day is starting, and I can feel the warmth of the sun coming in through the window

Lord, 'round here the mornin' comes
Where I am, morning always seems to come too soon

Justa creepin'
I feel like something is watching me, following me around and lurking just out of sight

You shot outta hell like a bullet from a gun
When you left me, you did so without warning, like a bullet fired from a gun

A flip of a switch
You changed the dynamic of our relationship with a sudden, unexplained action

A thief on the run
You left me feeling robbed and betrayed, like a thief who has gotten away with something

And since the day you left me, baby
Ever since the moment you left, my life has not been the same

I can feel the lonely
I am constantly aware of a deep loneliness that seems to pervade everything in my life

I can hear the crazy
As a result of your absence, I'm starting to feel like I'm losing my mind

Head for the future
I'm trying to move forward, leave the past behind, and focus on hope for what's to come

Run from the past
I am desperate to escape the pain of what has happened, to put distance between myself and the things that have hurt me

Hide from the mirror
I'm struggling to look at myself honestly, trying to avoid facing the mistakes I've made or the truth about myself

And live in a glass
I feel exposed to the world, as if everyone can see inside me and scrutinize everything I do

What dreams forget the whiskey remembers
I'm finding solace in alcohol, which helps me forget my troubles and reject reality, but can also become a dangerous crutch

Kinda like molasses in late December
The numbness and slow progress of time feels like molasses, as if each day is stretched out and difficult to get through

Your cocaine kiss and caffeine love
Your vices and unhealthy habits had a hold on me, like the rush of cocaine and caffeine

Got under my skin and into my blood
Your influence on me was deep and difficult to shake, like a drug that's gotten into my system

That need you back comes over me
Sometimes, despite everything, I feel an overwhelming need to have you back in my life

Like ivy crawlin' up a hickory tree
That need is persistent and inescapable, like the growth of ivy that crawls relentlessly up the trunk of a tree

Just last night I saw the light
Recently, I had a moment of clarity and hope

At the end of that tunnel on the other side
I felt like I could finally see a way out of the painful situation I've been in

Thought I found my way outta this pain
I thought I had finally found the solution to my problems and could move on from the pain I've been feeling

Only to find your memory train
But then, just as suddenly, your memory came flooding back, and the pain came with it

Creep
Despite my attempts to move on, I still feel like something is creeping up on me, ready to drag me back down into my old habits and ways of being

Bom, bom, bom, bom-om
The music emphasizes this creeping, that sense of something sneaking up on you
