West Side
Hello from the West Side: A Yearning Tale of Love and Longing
Lyrics
Hello from the west side
Greeting from the western part
This country's pretty fucked, am I right?
Expressing dissatisfaction with the state of the country
When's the last time we facetimed?
Asking about the last time they had a video call
I miss you even though I don't ever write
Admitting to missing the person despite not communicating
I miss you even though I don't have the right
Feeling the absence keenly despite not having the authorization to miss
And it hits in the nighttime
Emotional impact occurs mostly at night
I go dancing to make sure I'm alive
Using dancing as a way to feel alive
Hello from the west side
Repeated greeting from the western part
I wanna see eye to eye with you
Desire to connect deeply and intimately
Spend another night with you
Wishing to spend more time together
I wanna feel like an animal
Expressing a desire for intense passion
I see the moon through the clouds
Observing the moon amidst obstacles
All I think about is how
Constant thoughts about a specific situation
I need this love to be tangible
Longing for the love to be physically felt
Hello from the west side, best side
Reiterating greetings from the western side as the best side
It'd be even better if you could slide through, I
Wishing for the person to visit or join
Want you even more when you're far away baby
Expressing increased longing when the person is far away
At the grocery store missing you like crazy
Missing the person intensely even during mundane activities
And when I'm at the laundromat
Thinking about the person while doing chores
and everything's spinning around
Sensory overload triggering thoughts about shared experiences
I think about Central Park and you and the carousel
Recalling specific moments at Central Park and an Irish pub
I think about the Irish pub in Boston we gave em hell
Memories of rebellious or lively moments in different places
I think about the thrift store trips in Philly, the Liberty Bell
Reflecting on shared experiences at various locations
I think about you
Repeated thoughts about the person
I think about you
-I wanna see eye to eye with you
Reiteration of the desire for a deep connection
Spend another night with you
Desire to spend more time together reaffirmed
I wanna feel like an animal
Reiteration of the longing for intense passion
I see the moon through the clouds
Continued thoughts about obstacles but focusing on the moon
All I think about is how
Repetition of constant contemplation about a situation
I need this love to be tangible
Reiterated desire for the love to be felt tangibly
I wanna see eye to eye with you
Reiteration of the longing for a deep connection
Spend another night with you
Reaffirmation of the desire to spend more time together
I wanna feel like an animal
Reiteration of the longing for intense passion
I see the moon through the clouds
Continued thoughts about obstacles while fixating on the moon
All I think about is how
Reiteration of constant contemplation about a situation
I need this love to be tangible
Reiterated desire for the love to be felt tangibly
