Eleven Days
Max Frost Lyrics

Eleven more days, waiting around here in the city
The singer is stuck in the city for eleven more days, hoping to escape their current emotional state.

Thinking that I'm gonna escape this fucked up feeling
The singer is hoping their trip will give them some relief from their current emotional state.

I got on a flight, economy class
The singer took a flight to try and escape their emotional state, but couldn't afford anything other than economy class.

I couldn't sleep, I listened to jazz
The artist struggled to sleep on their flight, so they listened to jazz music instead.

Eleven more nights, staring at nothing on the phone screen
The artist spends their nights staring at their phone, hoping for a call from someone.

Feeling the lag, and hoping that you call me
The singer is feeling the effects of jet lag, while also hoping for a call from someone.

And to my surprise, you hang me to dry
The singer is disappointed that the person they came to see hasn't been as genuine or interested as they expected, leaving them feeling abandoned.

I came over here, thought you were sincere
The artist came to visit someone they thought was sincere and interested in them.

But I guess that I was wrong
The artist has realized that they were wrong about the other person's intentions.

I was getting nervous that I finally met that person
The artist was nervous to finally meet the person they came to see.

Maybe we just moved too fast, 'cause I woke up in the morning thinking
The singer wonders if the relationship with the other person moved too quickly, which may have contributed to their current emotional state.

Why'd you leave so fast? You left without your purse
The artist is confused by the other person's sudden departure, especially without taking their purse.

And by the time I called you back you were gone
The singer tried to reach out to the other person, but it was too late.

Eleven more days feeling hungover in the morning
The singer spends their mornings feeling hungover and regretful.

Kicking my heels, feeling unreal, retail shopping
The singer tries to distract themselves from their emotional state by going shopping.

Walk in the mall, getting new kicks, I'm feeling sick
The artist tries to make themselves feel better by buying new shoes, but it only makes them feel worse.

Taking a sip from this iced coffee
The artist tries to cope with their feelings by drinking an iced coffee.

Eleven more nights, losing my mind
The singer is in a dark place emotionally and feels like they are losing their mind.

Seeing city lights, wondering how the hell to get you off my mind
The singer sees the lights of the city but can't stop thinking about the person who left them.

I gotta be out of my mind, thinking everything woulda been fine
The artist realizes that they were misguided in thinking everything would be okay.

To come across the ocean on some frequent flyer miles
The artist went to great lengths to come see the other person.

I know I'll be feeling alright
The artist is confident that they will eventually feel better.

When I finally get on a flight back home
The singer is looking forward to going back home.

But I got eleven days to go
The artist is still stuck in the city for eleven more days before they can go home.
