Where do we go now?
Gracie Abrams Lyrics

24th Street
The location where the singer was held by the person and felt uncomfortable.

Where you held me, grabbed my arm
The person physically restrained the singer which was not okay.

What a mental fire alarm
The situation was alarming and caused distress.

'Cause a lot of that felt wrong
The singer felt that the situation was wrong and unhealthy.

Like I miss you
The singer still has feelings for the person.

But when I kissed you back, I lied
The singer was not truthful with the person when they kissed.

You don't know how hard I tried
The singer tried to make the situation work but it was difficult.

Had to fake the longest time
The singer had to pretend for a long time that everything was okay.

Where do we go now?
The singer is questioning the future of the relationship.

You look hopeful
The person has hope for the relationship to work out.

Like we're supposed to work somehow
The person believes that the relationship should work out despite the problems.

Can't you tell our light burned out?
The spark in the relationship is gone.

Got a lot to cry about
The singer has many reasons to be upset and emotional.

There's nothin' left here
The relationship has been depleted and there is nothing left to save.

All our best years are behind
The best years of the relationship are in the past and cannot be regained.

What a brutal way to die
The death of the relationship is very painful and difficult to accept.

But you choose it every time
The person is repeatedly choosing to continue the relationship even though it is unhealthy.

We could meet down the line
The singer proposes the idea of meeting again in the future.

After all of the time
After a significant amount of time has passed.

And give an actual try
To give the relationship another genuine attempt.

I can't promise you'll like it
The singer cannot guarantee that things will work out in the future.

I know I changed overnight
The singer acknowledges that they have changed suddenly and significantly.

So I can't blame you for fightin'
The singer understands why the person would struggle with the relationship.

And I'd be losin' my mind
The thought of losing the person is unbearable.

If you lived in your writin'
If the person wrote about their feelings and thoughts, it would be clear that they are struggling in the relationship.

'Cause now I'm half of myself here without you
The singer feels incomplete and unhappy without the person.

You're the best in my life and I lost you
The person was the best thing in the singer's life, but they lost them.

And we had no control when it fell through
The end of the relationship was out of their control.

It was one-sided, hate how I hurt you
The end of the relationship was mostly caused by the singer's actions.

If I could, I'd have changed every feelin'
The singer regrets their actions and would have done things differently if they could.

Reservations were up to the ceilin'
The singer had doubts and reservations about the relationship.

Guess the space was the thing that I needed
The singer realizes that they needed space from the person to make things clear.

But I miss you
Despite the problems in the relationship, the singer still misses the person.
