I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
I just need one more dance
And girl I hate this feeling but it's not going away
I think I'm in love with you
And I can't help myself
'Cause this may be the only chance I've got with you
And I know you gon' show out
She likes all them stripper poles
Like taking off her clothes
And when you work that girl, you stop my heart
She's got the perfect lips, the perfect body
She's the life of the party and she likes to party hard
She's such a rock 'n roller but exotic
She's the life of my party, she likes to party hard
She's spilling your drinks on me, living wild and free
Tonight girl change my life
I hope you put your lips on me
My mind's playing tricks on me
Tonight we gon' party hard
I see straight through your eyes
And girl your might as well just say what you're already thinking
'Cause we're on the same page
Take me to ecstasy and far beyond
Show me how you're having fun baby
And girl we got all night
She likes all them stripper poles
Like taking off her clothes
And when you work that girl, you stop my heart
She's got the perfect lips, the perfect body
She's the life of the party and she likes to party hard
She's such a rock 'n roller but exotic
She's the life of my party, she likes to party hard
She's spilling your drinks on me, living wild and free
Tonight girl change my life
I hope you put your lips on me
My mind's playing tricks on me
Tonight we gon' party hard
Can I take your hand, yeah now
Can I have a dance with you
And when we touch, it's like magic and fire
She's got the perfect lips, the perfect body
She's the life of the party and she likes to party hard
She's such a rock 'n roller but exotic
She's the life of my party, she likes to party hard
She's spilling your drinks on me, living wild and free
Tonight girl change my life
I hope you put your lips on me
My mind's playing tricks on me
Tonight we gon' party hard
In my Cadillac movin' very fast
Got a girl with a big ol' ass
And we go ho hunter

Anything she want, she can get it
'Cause my girl, she be with it
And I want her for the rest of my life

I love it when she tells me she needs me
When she looks in my eyes (ooh ooh)
It feels like I’m high (ooh ooh)
Whoa ho ho
It don’t take a lot, all I need is you
To be the man for me
But I want it all and I’m willing
To give you what I need

Sometimes I fight you off but I love it rough
When you make love to me
I love it when he say that he love me
And I love it when he tells me he needs me
When he looks in my eyes (ooh ooh)
It feels like I’m high (ooh ooh)
