Jordan Smith Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Can't feel anything, when will I learn?
I push it down, I push it down
I'm the one for a good time call
Phone's blowin' up, ringin' my doorbell
I feel the love, feel the love
One, two, three one, two, three drink
One, two, three one, two, three drink
Throw 'em back till I lose count
I'm gonna swing from the chandelier, from the chandelier
I'm gonna live like tomorrow doesn't exist, like it doesn't exist
I'm gonna fly like a bird through the night, feel my tears as they dry
I'm gonna swing from the chandelier, from the chandelier
And I'm holding on for dear life
Won't look down, won't open my eyes
Keep my glass full until morning light
'Cause I'm just holding on for tonight
Help me, I'm holding on for dear life
Won't look down, won't open my eyes
Keep my glass full until morning light
'Cause I'm just holding on for tonight, on for tonight
Sun's up, I'm a mess
Gotta get out now, gotta run from this
Here comes the shame, here comes the shame
Oh, one, two, three one, two, three drink
One, two, three one, two, three drink
One, two, three one, two, three drink
Throw 'em back till I lose count
I'm gonna swing from the chandelier, from the chandelier
I'm gonna live like tomorrow doesn't exist, like it doesn't exist
I'm gonna fly like a bird through the night, feel my tears as they dry
I'm gonna swing from the chandelier, from the chandelier
I am holding on for dear life
Won't look down, won't open my eyes
Keep my glass full until morning light
'Cause I'm just holding on for tonight
Help me, I'm holding on for dear life
Won't look down, won't open my eyes
Keep my glass full until morning light
'Cause I'm just holding on for tonight, on for tonight, on for tonight

The song ends with the singer continuing to hold on, keeping her glass full until morning light, and acknowledging the shame and the end of the night.
