  • Jimbo99 from Palm Coast, FlI think the lyrics are more about relationships for those that aren't the most stable. I mean the first verse is about someone that moved on to something else, playing games that way, running away rather than working out whatever issues. And of course he misses her, to the point of substance abuse. Medicate until his brain is numb, that could be anything from alcohol to harder substance abuse. And he's in a depression & funk over the way it is, sleepwalking thru his life. He claims to be more vested into the relationship & she would be moving on to the next better deal ? It works both ways though, the female being the more stable & a dude that won't commit ?

    "What a shame, what a shame, what a shame
    It's all fun and games 'til you don't wanna play now
    Run away, run away, run away
    It's easy to see, but it's harder to say now"

    "Movin' on to someone else
    I'm a picture left on your shelf
    And the dream's a lie I tell myself
    Feel like I'm sleepwalking when you're gone"

    "Medicate 'til my brain goes numb"

    "Stay in bed 'til a whole year's gone
    Wake me up when it's over"
