Lyrics
When the stars have finally aligned
Expressing a moment when everything falls into place or becomes harmonious.
Seems like they left me behind
Feeling left behind or excluded despite the alignment of favorable circumstances.
I missed the last train like hours ago
Regretting missing an opportunity or chance, possibly in a metaphorical sense.
Now there's no way to get home
Feeling stranded or unable to return home due to missed opportunities.
She keeps saying that it'll all be fine but
A comforting message from a maternal figure, despite challenges.
Mama you been on my mind
Expressing thoughts about a mother who is on the speaker's mind.
So I'll see you
Anticipation of meeting someone in a metaphorical space referred to as "the funny papers."
In the funny papers
-Yeah I'll see you
-In the funny papers
-Yeah I'll see you
-This time I've really done it
Acknowledging a significant mistake or action with irreversible consequences.
And there ain't no going back
Acceptance that there is no turning back from the consequences of the speaker's actions.
This time there ain't no running away from the facts
Facing and accepting the reality of the situation without avoiding the truth.
I was waisting your time while I was waiting mine
Regret for wasting time and realizing the impact on others.
When the sun comes up I think it'll be alright
Optimism that things will improve when a new day begins.
So you take the open road
Choosing different paths in life, symbolized by an open road and staying at home.
I'll stay here at home
Reflecting on the departure of someone important while watching them leave.
Staring out the window and watching you go
-I'll see you
Reiterating the anticipation of meeting in the metaphorical "funny papers" space.
In the funny papers
-Yeah I'll see you
-In the funny papers
-Yeah I'll see you
-When it went straight to her brain
Reflecting on the impact of a significant event or realization, possibly related to lost time.
Well things were never the same
-Thinking how many years do we waste
-As just a rat in this race?
-The right words always slipped away
-But all she wanted was the sun on her face
-So I'll see you
Expressing hope to meet again in the "funny papers," suggesting a positive outcome.
In the funny papers
-I hope I'll see you
-In the funny papers
-I hope I'll see you
Repeating the hope to meet again and expressing certainty of encountering in the "funny papers."
I hope I'll see you later
-Yeah I'll see you
-In the funny papers
Reaffirmation of the expectation to meet in the metaphorical space previously mentioned.
