Get off work about 4 o'clock
And I'm late again
Cause you'll be here by 6:30
And we'll go looking for a close parking spot again
(I think they're going to an NA/AA/CA meeting.)
Sitting in a room full of believers
Now you tell me what's wrong and what's right
Cause I look over at you baby
You got your good intentions focused so tight
(They're in an NA/CA/AA meeting and he is telling her what he thinks is bullshit and what is not. She can tell that he is doing his best with the tools they are offering him.)
And now it hurts me so,
To have to see you go
To watch these drugs pull you down
When the world can't get through
And there's nothing we can do
Except watch you fall in and out of this mess
(He/She is relapsing and nothing anyone is doing seems to be making a difference.)
What's wrong with a little bit of experimentation
To open the eyes of a new generation
Build your world on a cocaine foundation
And watch it all blow away
(He/She is making an example of how experimenting with drugs can lead to a shitty and meaningless life.)
Well I haven't seen you in a while
You know, I miss our talks
I miss your smile
This look of innocence is priceless
But right now you look so lifeless
(When He/She is sober, she sees a part of the person that she never wants to see go..)
