In Brett Eldredge's heartfelt ballad, the repeated phrase "One Mississippi" symbolizes the slow, painful passage of time following a breakup. 🕒 The lyrics poignantly capture the narrator's struggle as he stands amidst the emotional ruins left behind by love's departure. The reference to "a cold grey Jackson dawn" suggests not only a specific place and time but also reflects the bleakness of his feelings. The imagery of lipstick on a coffee cup serves as a lingering reminder of his lost partner, emphasizing how everyday objects can become laden with memories after separation. This song explores themes of loss, longing, and the difficulty of moving forward when one is still tethered to what once was. 🎶
One Mississippi
Lyrics
One Mississippi, two Mississippi
Counting down the seconds, standing in the wreckage of love
On a cold grey Jackson dawn
Oh I just can't watch this, sure can't stop this
I keep waiting, your tail lights are fading, I see
You're already gone
I'm half of who I used to be,
One Mississippi, hm
Lipstick on the coffee cup
I know I should wash it up But maybe I'll
Just wait here for a little while
I run my fingers around the top
Where your lips were I just stop 'cause I,
I can almost see your smile
And it's one Mississippi, two Mississippi
Counting down the seconds, standing in the wreckage of love
On a cold grey Jackson dawn
And I know everybody's got their demons
Everybody's got their reasons
Why they leave when they run
But baby I could have helped you through it
You built a wall and I couldn't get to it
Now I'm waiting for the rain,
And the pain to come yeah
And it's one Mississippi, two Mississippi
Counting down the seconds, standing in the wreckage of love
On a cold grey Jackson dawn
Oh I just can't watch this, sure can't stop this
I keep waiting, your tail lights are fading, I see
You're already gone
I'm half of who I used to be,
One Mississippi
Ooh one Mississippi yeah yeah yeah
Yeah
