Life’s Too Short
This week’s theme of Song Lyric Sunday was ‘Long/Short/Small/Tall’, and it was surprisingly difficult to find a fitting song. In the end, I chose this song by P!nk since I like the overall message of the lyrics, and I love both the colour and artist Pink.
‘Blow Me (One Last Kiss)’ is about the time when you know a relationship is over, but you’re still staying together while you should both know you should split up. I found the lyrics very recognisable. Like many people, I’ve been in such a situation. It’s not easy. But like the lyrics say, when you realise life is short, it’s better to bite the bullet and end things.
Blow Me (One Last Kiss) – P!nk
White knuckles
And sweaty palms from hanging on too tight
Clenched shut jaw
I’ve got another headache again tonight
Eyes on fire, eyes on fire
And they burn from all the tears
I’ve been crying, I’ve been crying
I’ve been dying over you
Tie a knot in the rope
Trying to hold, trying to hold
But there’s nothing to grab
So I let go
I think I’ve finally had enough
I think I maybe think too much
I think this might be it for us
Blow me one last kiss
You think I’m just too serious
I think you’re full of shit
My head is spinning, so
Blow me one last kiss
Just when it can’t get worse
I’ve had a shit day
You’ve had a shit day
We’ve had a shit day
I think that life’s too short for this
Want back my ignorance and bliss
I think I’ve had enough of this
Blow me one last kiss
I won’t miss all of the fighting
That we always did
Take it in
I mean what I say when I say “there is nothing left”
No more sick whiskey dick
No more battles from me
You’ll be calling a trick
‘Cause you no longer sleep
I’ll dress nice, I’ll look good
I’ll go dancing alone
I will laugh, I’ll get drunk
I’ll take somebody home
I think I’ve finally had enough
I think I maybe think too much
I think this might be it for us
Blow me one last kiss
You think I’m just too serious
I think you’re full of shit
My head is spinning, so
Blow me one last kiss
Just when it can’t get worse
I’ve had a shit day
You’ve had a shit day
We’ve had a shit day
I think that life’s too short for this
Want back my ignorance and bliss
I think I’ve had enough of this
Blow me one last kiss
Blow me one last kiss
Blow me one last kiss
I will do what I please
Anything that I want
I will breathe, I will breathe
I won’t worry at all
You will pay for your sins
You’ll be sorry, my dear
All the lies, all the whys
Will all be crystal clear
I think I’ve finally had enough
I think I maybe think too much
I think this might be it for us
Blow me one last kiss
You think I’m just too serious
I think you’re full of shit
My head is spinning, so
Blow me one last kiss
Just when it can’t get worse
I’ve had a shit day
You’ve had a shit day
We’ve had a shit day
I think that life’s too short for this
Want back my ignorance and bliss
I think I’ve had enough of this
Blow me one last kiss
Blow me one last kiss
Blow me one last kiss
Just when it can’t get worse
I’ve had a shit day
You’ve had a shit day
We’ve had a shit day
I think that life’s too short for this
Want back my ignorance and bliss
I think I’ve had enough of this
Blow me one last kiss

Nice music Liz, I know P!nk is popular, but I really don’t know much about her. I am planning on writing about one of her songs The One That Got Away two weeks from today. Thanks for joining in again.
Thank you, I loved Pink’s music ever since her first album came out, and there aren’t many pop artists that I like.
I’m looking forward to reading your post about ‘The One That Got Away.’ ☺️
Pink is great! I named my daughter Alecia in 1987. Pink was 8 when she was born so it was a coincidence that they are spelled the same and that way which is not the normal spelling. Great song choice this week! 🙂
Oh, I love the name Alecia 😄
I noticed it when I copied the writer of the song. I had heard it before, but forgotten about it. What a coincidence you chose this name for your daughter too 😊
I wanted to be different. Who knew Alecia would turn out to be PINK! LOL! 🙂
I loved P!nk ever since she came out with her first single 20 years ago. Her music now is way different than when she made her debut (did you know her first album had songs written by Babyface!). I just listened to “Just Like Fire” last week and such a powerful song! P!nk’s lyrics are so powerful and relatable.
Did you know that P!Ink was in a girl group in the 90s? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PHVJMoV-xK8
Wow, that is amazing, I never knew she was in a girl group. This is definitely something I would have enjoyed during that time and it also explains why her first album was very much R&B. I remember being quite disappointed when she let that go after the first album, though I too got bored with R&B around that time and started listening to other music. Thank you for this!
