Discover the story of the song > Crawl – Alkaline Trio

In these lyrics, the protagonist wakes up feeling sick and in pain from his medicine. He tries to speak but can't make sense of his words. He is reminded of a phrase he knows but can't understand. He then recalls a past experience where he got drunk and threw up because of his romantic partner. He realizes that every time they kissed, he felt more sick and unhappy. The protagonist is uncertain about who his partner's boyfriend is.
