I'm Going To Sell You To The Werewolves
Chasing Love's Enigma: A Midnight Confession
Lyrics
Every time I drive through Chevy Chase
Reflecting on passing through Chevy Chase.
It reminds me of how I would go to your house
Recalling visits to the listener's house.
And we would sit and read Calvin Hobbes because you didn't own a TV
Remembering moments of reading Calvin Hobbes due to the absence of a TV.
And I remember sitting in my car on your driveway at 1 a.m. on a Friday
Revisiting a specific memory of confessing love at 1 a.m. on a Friday.
When I told you that I loved you and you said I like you a lot
Expressing love, receiving a response indicating liking but not clear commitment.
What the fuck does that mean?
Expressing confusion about the vague response to the declaration of love.
Do you love me or not
Seeking clarity on the feelings: Do you love me or not?
And every time I see you, your legs just get bigger
Noticing physical changes in the person, particularly in their legs.
I want to be near you, but I just cannot figure you out
Expressing a desire to be close but struggling to understand the person.
And ain't it strange how when you've been gone for a long time
Observing small changes in life after a long absence.
You see the smallest changes about life
Reflecting on changes in people upon returning.
And people when you get back
Emphasizing that changes are not superficial, like hair or travel experiences.
It's not the way a person dyes their hair now
Reiterating the impact of physical changes, particularly in the person's legs.
Or a country that they've been to
Expressing the difficulty of understanding the person despite the desire to be close.
No nothing like that
Repeating the theme of struggling to comprehend the person.
Because every time I see you, your legs just get bigger
Revisiting the desire to be near despite the confusion.
I want to be near you, but I just cannot figure you out
Reiterating the struggle to figure out the person.
I'm going to sell you to the werewolves tonight
Metaphorically expressing frustration by jokingly deciding to "sell" the person to werewolves.
I'll spend all the money on new guitar strings
Planning to use the "earnings" to buy new guitar strings.
And nobody will question where you went
Suggesting that nobody will question the person's disappearance.
They'll just say what a lovely set of strings
Imagining positive reactions to the new guitar strings, diverting attention from the disappearance.
And every time I see you, your legs just get bigger
Reiterating the observation of physical changes, particularly in the person's legs.
I want to be near you, but I just cannot figure
Expressing the ongoing struggle to understand the person.
Oh every time I see you, your legs just get bigger
Repeating the observation of the person's enlarging legs and the desire to be near.
I want to be near you, but I just cannot figure
Continuing the theme of struggling to figure out the person.
Oh every time I see you, your legs just get bigger
Reiterating the observation of physical changes, particularly in the person's legs.
I want to be near you, but I just cannot figure
Expressing the ongoing struggle to understand the person.
Oh every time I see you, your legs just get bigger
Repeating the observation of the person's enlarging legs and the desire to be near.
I want to be near you, but I just cannot figure you out
Continuing the theme of struggling to figure out the person.
You out
Repeating the desire to understand the person.
You out
-You out
-Oh, you out
Concluding with a final expression of frustration and inability to understand the person.
