I Just Go
Wanderlust Confessions: Boz Scaggs' 'I Just Go' Unraveled
Lyrics
Don't know why I wandered off last night
Expressing uncertainty or confusion about the reason for wandering off the previous night.
I was having a good time and feeling all right
Indicating that the speaker was enjoying themselves and feeling fine.
Feeling right at home with you
Feeling comfortable and at home with someone.
Guess I hadn't had enough though or something
Suggesting a lack of satisfaction or completeness, prompting the need to leave.
And I just go
Emphasizing the impulsive or spontaneous nature of the speaker's actions.
Saw some of my old running boys over by the back door
Encountering old friends near the back door and deciding to greet them after a while.
Having a laugh thought I'd say hello, been a while
Sharing a friendly moment with old acquaintances.
Then one thing leads to another I guess
Describing a sequence of events that led to further actions, possibly unplanned.
And anyway, I just go
Reiterating the spontaneous nature of the speaker's decisions.
I didn't know 'til you left word for me
Realizing only after receiving a message that someone was concerned about the speaker's whereabouts.
Your concern about where I'd disappeared to
Expressing surprise that the speaker's actions caused worry, as it wasn't intentional.
And it never crossed my mind
Reflecting on the lack of awareness regarding the impact of the speaker's actions.
That I'd worried you or been unkind in doing so
Denying any intention of causing worry or being unkind.
And I'm so so sorry I took off so fast
Apologizing for leaving abruptly and acknowledging the resulting feelings of abandonment.
That you felt abandoned and left out like that
Expressing regret for making the other person feel left out in that manner.
Please understand
Pleading for understanding regarding the speaker's occasional lack of mindfulness.
You see I just don't pay much mind sometimes
Explaining that the speaker sometimes doesn't pay much attention or consideration.
Sometimes, I just go
Reiterating the tendency to act impulsively or without much thought.
I need you to know
Expressing a need for the other person to understand something important.
How I long to do all that you want me to
Conveying a desire to fulfill the other person's wishes.
I'd go anywhere at all any time you call
Committing to being available anytime the other person needs comfort.
To comfort you
Offering support and consolation to the other person.
And I take every word or your advice
Expressing a willingness to heed the advice of the other person.
I'd make any kind of sacrifice to let you know
Committing to making sacrifices to demonstrate dedication and understanding.
There's this other voice calling me sometimes
Acknowledging the presence of conflicting inner thoughts or desires.
And I just go
Reiterating the tendency to act on impulses or follow another internal voice.
