Too Broke
Bittersweet Struggles: Alec Wigdahl's 'Too Broke' Reflections
Lyrics
Continentals scuffed up on my feet, now
Wearing worn-out Continentals on my feet
Yeah, yeah
Expression of agreement or affirmation
Dropped out of school I need some bread, now
Quit school to earn money
I need some, I need some
Expressing a need for money
Quieres estar, conmigo para siempre
Spanish: "Do you want to be with me forever?"
Yo quiero bailar, but I’m no good at that, babe
Expressing a desire to dance despite a lack of skill
My shoes got that off-white
Mention of off-white shoes
I’m too broke for off-white
Unable to afford luxury off-white brand
Bought you dinner last night
Past action of buying dinner
You’ve been on me now
Feeling the impact of expenses
I can’t dance for shit, babe
Admitting a lack of dancing ability
You might have to quit, babe
Suggesting the partner might need to stop dancing too
I’ll be poor my whole life
Expressing a belief in long-term financial struggles
You’re still on me now
Partner still showing interest despite challenges
Don’t look up to me I’ve been falling down
Personal acknowledgment of facing difficulties
I still don’t, understand why your parents want me around
Confusion about why the partner's parents accept them
Quieres estar, conmigo para siempre
Reiteration of a desire for a lasting relationship
Yo quiero bailar, but I’m no good at that, babe
Repeating the desire to dance despite limited skills
My shoes got that off-white
Reference to off-white shoes again
I’m too broke for off-white
Reiteration of financial constraints on luxury
Bought you dinner last night
Recollection of a recent dinner expense
You’ve been on me now
Partner's continued interest despite financial struggles
I can’t dance for shit, babe
Admitting a lack of dancing ability again
You might have to quit, babe
Suggesting the partner might need to stop dancing too (repeated)
I’ll be poor my whole life
Reiteration of the belief in long-term financial struggles
You’re still on me now
Partner still showing interest despite challenges (repeated)
My shoes got that off-white
Reference to off-white shoes again (repeated)
I’m too broke for off-white
Reiteration of financial constraints on luxury (repeated)
Bought you dinner last night
Recollection of a recent dinner expense (repeated)
You’ve been on me now
Partner's continued interest despite financial struggles (repeated)
I can’t dance for shit, babe
Admitting a lack of dancing ability again (repeated)
You might have to quit, babe
Suggesting the partner might need to stop dancing too (repeated)
I’ll be poor my whole life
Reiteration of the belief in long-term financial struggles (repeated)
You’re still on me now
Partner still showing interest despite challenges (repeated)
My shoes got that off-white
Reference to off-white shoes again (repeated)
I’m too broke for off-white
Reiteration of financial constraints on luxury (repeated)
Bought you dinner last night
Recollection of a recent dinner expense (repeated)
You’ve been on me now
Partner's continued interest despite financial struggles (repeated)
I can’t dance for shit, babe
Admitting a lack of dancing ability again (repeated)
You might have to quit, babe
Suggesting the partner might need to stop dancing too (repeated)
I’ll be poor my whole life
Reiteration of the belief in long-term financial struggles (repeated)
You’re still on me now
Partner still showing interest despite challenges (repeated)
