Dominó
The Squeeze Lyrics

I knew that I had drunk too much
The singer acknowledges their excessive drinking

I had passed my drink degree
The singer's consumption exceeded a reasonable level

I climbed into my rented car
The singer enters their vehicle

I was happy as could be
The artist's emotional state while driving

Then I pulled out of the driveway
The artist begins their journey

And the lights began to blur
Visual distortion begins

Within a mile the car was stopped
The singer encounters law enforcement

By a police officer - she said
The officer identifies themselves as female

Did you see the light was red?
The officer questions the artist's observance of traffic signals

Did you see the light at all?
The officer inquires if the artist was aware of the traffic signal

Then I fell into her open arm
The singer recalls getting physical with the officer

And that's all that I recall
The artist has no further memory of the events

I knew that I had danced before
The singer has previous dance experience

But it never made the news
The singer's dancing history is not noteworthy

Surprised to find my two left feet
The singer's dancing is clumsy

In John Travolta's shoes
The artist feels confident despite their lack of skill

I hogged the space around a girl
The artist monopolizes a woman's dancing space

I found so full of verve
The singer admires the woman's enthusiasm

Then I moved in slowly for the kill
The singer makes a physical move on the woman

And watched her body swerve
The artist observes the woman's dancing

She said "did you know I'm not impressed
The woman is unimpressed with the artist's advances

With the way you dance at all"
The woman specifically critiques the artist's dancing

Blacked out and wasted
The singer loses consciousness from alcohol use

I had to be persuaded
The artist resists intervention

With my view a little jaded
The singer's perspective is distorted

That I was about to go
The singer is leaving or being taken somewhere

Down like a domino
The singer will fall quickly and easily, like a domino

I knew that I had said too much
The artist knows they have disclosed too much information

But tact was not my way
The artist lacks diplomacy

Tears were on her bottom lip
The woman is emotional

She had nothing more to say except
The woman says nothing further beyond her emotional state

Did you know this love we have
The woman references their relationship

Has made me feel so small"
The woman feels emotionally diminished by the relationship

Then I fell into her open arms
The artist comforts the woman or is comforted by her

And that's all that I recall
The singer has no further memory of the events
