Single In The Same Town Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Hanger bar down 43
See your Jetta parked outside
Can’t tell my heart to tell my head
This won’t get better with time
I don’t wanna know who you’re with
Or where you’re ending up tonight
Just wanna kick the door in
‘Cause you and I, we’re on again and off again
It’s never gonna end
[Chorus]
Either we get back together
Or we both know it’s just better
If I say goodbye forever
What’s the point in sticking around?
Stay or leave, we can’t be
Single in the same town, yeah
[Verse 2]
I don’t wanna get drunk and call
‘Cause I don’t wanna find out what’s worse
If you pick up or you don’t
But either way, it’ll hurt
I ask you what this is
You’re ambiguous again
I don’t wanna just get a beer
I’ve already got enough friends
[Chorus]
Either we get back together
Or we both know it’s just better
If I say goodbye forever
What’s the point in sticking around?
Stay or leave, we can’t be
Single in the same town
[Bridge]
I can’t watch you getting over me
With someone that I know
And we can’t give each other space
If we’re just living down the street
And you don’t need some reminder
Of the times we watched the sunset on the beach
As hard as it’ll be
[Chorus]
Either we get back together
Or we both know it’s just better
If I say goodbye forever
What’s the point in sticking around?
Stay or leave, we can’t be
Single in the same town
[Outro]
Single in the same town, woah, no
Single in the same town, mm, yeah
Life Lessons from this Song:
This song, “Single In The Same Town”, explores the emotional struggles of being stuck in a cycle with an ex while living in close proximity. Here are some life lessons from this song:
1. Closure is necessary – If a relationship keeps going on and off, it might be better to fully let go rather than dragging out the pain.
2. Distance helps healing – Being physically close to an ex can make it harder to move on, especially when reminders of them are everywhere.
3. Clarity is important – Ambiguity in relationships can lead to confusion and heartache. If someone isn’t clear about what they want, it might be best to walk away.
4. Self-respect matters – Knowing when to stop chasing a relationship that isn’t working is a form of self-care.
5. Avoiding unnecessary pain – Reaching out to an ex, especially under the influence, can lead to more hurt. Sometimes, it’s best to resist the urge.
6. Friendship isn’t always an option – Not all exes can transition into being friends, and forcing it might only bring more complications.
The song highlights the emotional toll of lingering in a past relationship and emphasizes the need for a clean break to truly move forward.
