What a Drag Lyrics
Ain't it a drag, babe?
You're feelin so safe
But you cannot hear or ignore
Here's where the crash lands
Not as graceful as one thinks
So brace for the things you don't know
I left
I left feeling alone
I left
I left feeling alone
But you can undo it, man
You seem surprised, babe
After years of the same thing
Well, I hope it's the half that you want
There's not a last dance
And no one really wins
So you cannot hold in your cries
Open your eyes
I left feeling alone
I left
I left feeling alone
I left
I left feeling alone
But you can undo it, man
You're feelin so safe
But you cannot hear or ignore
Here's where the crash lands
Not as graceful as one thinks
So brace for the things you don't know
I left
I left feeling alone
I left
I left feeling alone
But you can undo it, man
You seem surprised, babe
After years of the same thing
Well, I hope it's the half that you want
There's not a last dance
And no one really wins
So you cannot hold in your cries
Open your eyes
I left feeling alone
I left
I left feeling alone
I left
I left feeling alone
But you can undo it, man

I interpret the song as self-talk, reflecting a struggle with isolation and weighing serious decisions. It highlights numbness of being alone rather than sadness, and the tension between hope and finality.
I hear ‘I love’ and ‘you can’t’ instead.
