Empty Bottle
The Matchup Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Straight to the bottom
Of another whiskey bottle
I'm sinking down in a sea of you

Oh I would have changed
Those things you disliked about me
Now I am walking on this lonely road
Since the sun has faded
There is no sunshine at all
Left in the cold, left in the dark
Thinking about you

Wherever you go, understand it all,
Stand by my side, you're the only one
And everything that I wanted
Deep down inside a box left in the closet
I saw your face on these photographs
The darkest days are far behind
I'm fine without you
Still I am walking on this lonely road
But the sun is shining, I can finally feel
The love inside my broken heart
Bleeding without you





Wherever you go, understand it all,
Stand by my side, you're the only one and everything that I wanted

Overall Meaning

The song starts with the lead singer admitting to drowning his sorrows in whiskey and being consumed by thoughts of the person he lost. He wishes he could have changed things about himself that the person didn't like, but now it's too late.


The second verse is tinged with regret as he thinks back to happier times with his love. He sees her face in old photographs but acknowledges that the darkest days are behind him. He's still walking on a lonely road, but there's a glimmer of hope as the sun starts to shine and he feels love inside his broken heart, even without her.


The chorus is a plea for understanding and forgiveness as the singer asks his love to stand by his side, acknowledging that she's the only one he ever wanted. The song is a poignant reflection on heartache and the struggle to move on, ultimately finding hope in the possibility of a new love.
