This song is probably a double entendre about a romantic relationship as well as longing for his hometown. “Cola” is, in fact, a common local abbreviation for the capital city of SC and Chaz recently moved to California to work on this album.
[Verse 1]
I wish I could be there
See you everyday
I don't have to call you
[Verse 2]
I don't have a lot
But you got to see my light
Let me show you where I go at night
[Verse 3]
Do you think we did it right?
You weren't lying when you said "Just wait
'Til you live with someone someday"
[Refrain]
Some days slip by me
And I think I know why
I'll make it through
[Bridge]
It's imperfect
It's not forever
That you're further
You're still patient
[Refrain]
Some days slip by me
And I think I know why
I'll make it through
