Story Behind The Song

A drunken confession gone bad, a complicated relationship, and an attempt to forget good memories that we hold on to so that one can move on.

Lyrics

have you let someone tattoo you half to death
cause i have, i have.
i'd be lying if i said i didn't miss the buzz
but i can't lose that much
i'm losing all my blood.

we all have regrets
and i lather up in mine
nobody knows why
it's 'cause i'm rather dry


spitting at you rum tongue at a party
sitting waiting for someone to ask me
if i love you
which i do
living with your entire history
fed up, i never liked a mystery
i know you
but do i know you?

if i could find the ashes in the sand
maybe i could begin to understand
how you can forget the best days of your life
how i can forget the worst days of my life.

we both languish on the floor
when we're in love
pick me up
cause i'm done

i never never mind, oh never mind
your pick me ups and lines.
oh never mind.

have you met someone who covered your tattoos?
well f*ck you.
f*ck you.

ditch to the safety of doorstep
wishing you'd notice that i had left you
or at least tried to
living with all your favorite songs
hearing them in my dreams
and you're golden
Would you just go then?

if i could find the ashes in the sand
maybe i could begin to understand
how you can forget the best days of your life
how i can forget the worst days of my life.
