More Goodbye
Ward Davis Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm here to get tore down
I been drinkin' all night, and feelin' alright
Right up until now
Now the room is spinnin', and I'm fadin' slow
All messed up, nowhere to go
I'm sick and I'm tired, I'm drunk and I'm stoned
I could call me a cab, or I could bum me a ride
But there's nothin' at home but more goodbye
I know that I shouldn't, but I'll have one more
And one more after that
And every dollar I spend, and message I send
Ain't bringin' her back
She ain't thinkin' 'bout me at all
And I ain't thought a minute past last call
I'm sick and I'm tired, I'm drunk and I'm stoned
Been gettin' shut down by every girl in my phone
I could call me a cab, or I could bum me a ride
But there's nothin' at home but more goodbye
I know her, she's sober, and it's over
Yeah I'm sick and I'm tired, I'm drunk and I'm stoned
Been gettin' shut down by every girl in my phone
I could call me a cab, or I could bum me a ride
But there's nothin' at home but more goodbye
More Goodbye
The song "More Goodbye" by Ward Davis is a melancholic ballad about the struggles of a man who just can't seem to move on from a lost relationship. The opening lines of the song are about the singer's intention to get drunk and forget, but ultimately, the alcohol only brings him closer to the memories that he's trying to escape. The lyrics show that even though he tries to connect with other people (through calling girls on his phone), he still can't seem to shake the pain of his loss.
The chorus of the song reveals that the singer knows that he should leave and stop drinking, but he can't seem to find a way out. Even when he finally decides to have one more drink, he's fully aware that it won't change anything. The final lines of "More Goodbye" reveal the singer's true emotions, as he admits that he knows his former partner has moved on and that the relationship is truly over. However, he's still unable to let go, and his only comfort is the temporary release that alcohol provides.
In summary, "More Goodbye" is a poignant and honest meditation on the difficulty of moving on from a failed relationship. The lyrics paint a vivid and emotionally charged portrait of a man who is trapped in his own grief, unable to let go of the past even as he tries to move forward.
Line by Line Meaning
I told the bartender to keep an eye on my glass
I asked the bartender to make sure I don't drink too much
I'm here to get tore down
I'm here to drink until I can't stand anymore
I been drinkin' all night, and feelin' alright
I've been drinking all night and feeling good up until now
Right up until now
But now things have changed
Now the room is spinnin', and I'm fadin' slow
I'm starting to feel dizzy and my consciousness is fading away
All messed up, nowhere to go
I'm completely drunk and don't have any specific destination
I'm sick and I'm tired, I'm drunk and I'm stoned
I feel sick and exhausted, and I'm both drunk and high on drugs
Been gettin' shut down by every girl in my phone
Every girl I've tried to contact has rejected me
I could call me a cab, or I could bum me a ride
I could either call a taxi or ask someone for a ride
But there's nothin' at home but more goodbye
But even if I go home, all I'll have is more goodbyes and heartbreak
I know that I shouldn't, but I'll have one more
I'm aware that I shouldn't drink anymore, but I will anyway
And one more after that
And I'll keep drinking more and more
And every dollar I spend, and message I send
I keep wasting money and sending messages to someone who doesn't care
Ain't bringin' her back
But none of that will bring her back to me
She ain't thinkin' 'bout me at all
The person I'm trying to contact doesn't even think about me
And I ain't thought a minute past last call
And I can't even think beyond the last time I was cut off from drinking
I know her, she's sober, and it's over
I know that the person I'm trying to contact is sober and our relationship is over
More Goodbye
The only thing I'll have left is more goodbyes and heartbreak
