Love Letter
Mark Johns Lyrics

You hung up on the payphone
The addressee left the singer in the lurch and abruptly ended the conversation on the payphone.

I'm all alone
The singer is now alone and devoid of company after being abandoned by the addressee.

Plugging in my halo
The singer is trying to seek solace and escape the bleak reality by surrounding themselves with their positive aura, symbolized as a halo here.

I'm thinking if I miss my home
The artist is pondering about their previous life and whether they miss the comfort of their old home.

Nah, I don't
The artist concludes that they don't miss their past life and are content with the present situation.

So fuck it, I'ma drive more states
The singer decides to embark on a road trip to explore new places and elevate their mood.

I'm old now and nothing feels new, no, no, no
The singer is feeling jaded with their routine life and craves new experiences, though they might not be as exciting as before due to their age and experience.

If I can't find no jobs now
The artist is financially unstable and is struggling to find work to sustain themselves.

[?] escape from pouring, from pouring

I was fine before you

It's nothing for me to start over again
The singer is self-reliant and confident in their ability to start fresh and rebuild their life even after facing setbacks.

I'm not down for you
The artist has lost all emotional attachment and interest in the addressee, and is no longer willing to endure any sort of connection with them.

Since the last time that you hung up the phone
The singer was hurt by the addressee's behavior during a previous phone call, causing them to question their relationship.

Now I got no love, no love, no love for you
The singer has fallen out of love with the addressee and feels no emotional attachment towards them anymore.

No, fuck it, now it's raining
The weather conditions have taken a turn for the worse, but the singer remains unfazed by it.

Still I'm alone
Despite the unpleasant weather, the artist remains by themselves without any company.

But no I'm not complaining
The artist is not whining or sulking about their current situation.

There's fire burning in my bones
The singer feels alive and is filled with a passionate energy that drives them to move forward in life.

Cause purple lemonade and soul
Unclear meaning due to lack of context in the lyrics.

Is the only thing we'd ever do
The artist reminisces about their old times with the addressee who they used to enjoy drinking purple lemonade with while listening to soul music.

And am I fighting for control?
The artist wonders if they are exerting too much effort and control over their life, whether it is necessary or not.

No, I gave that all to you
The artist's earlier question about control finds an answer here as they reveal that they willingly gave up control of their life to the addressee, which is now regretful and caused them hurt.

Nah
The singer offers a final affirmation about their lack of attachment towards the addressee, and that their feeling will not change.
