Lyrics
5th of November
When I walked you home
That's when I almost said it
But then said "Forget it" and froze
Do you remember?
You probably don't
'Cause the sparks in the sky
Took a hold of your eyes while we spoke
Yesterday, I drank way too much
And stayed up too late
Started to write what I want to say
Deleted the message, but I still remember it said
I wish I was who you drunk texted at midnight
Wish I was the reason you stay up 'til 3
And you can't fall asleep
Waiting for me to reply
I wish I was more than just someone you walk by
Wish I wasn't scared to be honest and open
Instead of just hoping
You'd feel what I'm feeling inside
April the 7th
And nothing has changed
It's hard to get by
When you're still on my mind everyday
Sometimes I ask
If you feel the same?
Do we make stupid jokes?
Trying to hide that we're both too afraid to say
I wish I was who you drunk texted at midnight
Wish I was the reason you stay up 'til 3
And you can't fall asleep
Waiting for me to reply
I wish I was more than just someone you walk by
Wish I wasn't scared to be honest and open
Instead of just hoping
You'd feel what I'm feeling inside
Oh, and here we go again
Destroy myself to keep a friend
Hiding away 'cause I was afraid you'd say no
I wonder if I cross your mind
Half as much as you do mine
If I tell you the truth
What will I lose?
I don't know
I wish I sent you that drunk text at midnight
I was just scared it would ruin our friendship
But I really meant it
I wonder how you would reply
The meaning of the song.
The song is about someone who drunkenly sends a message to someone they miss so much, even though they know the relationship is over. The messages that result from feelings of loneliness and unspoken feelings make this song so touching. Henry Moodie uses simple, yet emotional lyrics to describe how feelings of loss and regret can be felt at the most unexpected moments.
Moodie successfully packs complex feelings into this song, making every listener feel a familiar feeling: a "drunk text" that appears when the heart can no longer hold back its feelings.
