Straight Back Down Lyrics

You know I find it hard to sleep when
I'm sleeping by myself
And I'm lying in the spare room
Thinking I should be somewhere else
You should know when we've been drinking
We can sabotage ourselves
Like smashing up the kitchen
No, there's nothing that seems to help

And I don't want to wake you up
Tell you that I'm leaving town
I already packed my stuff
Can't go back now
But the way you look brings me straight back down
I don't want to wake you up right now

I was ready to go, ready to go
I don't want to wake you up right now
I was ready to go, ready to go
I don't want to wake you up right now

You're breaking out the windows
While I was tearing down the doors
And now I'm picking up the ashtray
That you threw against the wall
'Cause we take, and we take just a little more
I have no idea what we're fighting for
No we're standing right here outside your door
Now I know, now I know

And I don't want to wake you up
Tell you that I'm leaving town
I already packed my stuff
Can't go back now
But the way you look brings me straight back down
I don't want to wake you up right now

I was ready to go, ready to go
I don't want to wake you up right now
I was ready to go, ready to go
I don't want to wake you up

'Cause I can't live with you, I can't live without you
You feel like home, you feel like home
'Cause I can't live with you, I can't live without you
You feel like home, you feel like home

And I don't want to wake you up
Tell you that I'm leaving town
I already packed my stuff
Can't go back now
But the way you look brings me straight back down
I don't want to wake you up right now

I was ready to go, ready to go
I don't want to wake you up right now
(Can't live with you, I can't live without you)
I was ready to go, ready to go
I don't want to wake you up right now
(Can't live with you, I can't live without you)
I was ready to go, ready to go
I don't want to wake you up right now

What is the Meaning of Straight Back Down?

This poignant track explores the complexities of a tumultuous relationship. The protagonist finds himself torn between his love for his partner and the destructive nature of their relationship, which is characterized by heated arguments and emotional distress. The lyrics suggest a cycle of conflict and reconciliation, where even as he resolves to leave, he is drawn back by the familiarity and comfort his partner provides. The refrain "I can't live with you, I can't live without you" encapsulates this internal struggle, indicating an intense emotional dependency despite the pain inflicted by their interactions. Ultimately, the song paints a vivid picture of a toxic relationship where love and hurt are intertwined in a seemingly endless loop.
