Lyrics
Come on baby it's a quarter to five
Feeling the late hour, expressing restlessness.
I've been living on the couch and I'm losing my mind
Living in a state of stagnation, feeling mentally unsettled.
I haven't gotten a touch in a long, long time
Lamenting the lack of physical affection for a prolonged period.
Since Friday XIII part nine, going to hell
Referencing a past event ("Friday XIII part nine") symbolizing a traumatic or negative experience.
Thumbing through all the magazines
Boredom or distraction through magazines.
And I can drink a lot better than I could in my teens
Improved ability to handle alcohol compared to adolescence.
Have we learned nothing but to kick and scream?
Reflecting on humanity's failure to progress beyond conflict.
We're as civilized as we could have ever dreamed and what's that mean?
Questioning the essence of societal progress and its implications.
Come on baby won't you feel alright?
Seeking reassurance and comfort.
It feels like forever since I've been warm at night
Longing for emotional warmth and intimacy.
So let's get back to what all that was fair and just
Desire to return to a fair and just state of a past relationship.
Oh won't you please love me again?
Pleading for love and acceptance.
The kind of attraction I couldn't leave
Attraction that's difficult to resist or abandon.
Keep watching the static on TV
Watching TV's static, possibly representing a lack of meaningful content or clarity in life.
Might be as well but not as bad
Things might not be ideal but not at their worst.
When your silence shows of our public failure
Recognizing public displays of our shortcomings or failures through silence.
I woke up in the middle of the night
Awakening from a disturbed sleep, possibly due to fear or anxiety.
Sheets soaked, still drunk, terrified
Feeling physically and emotionally overwhelmed.
Something tells me you're not alive
Suspecting the absence of life in someone or something.
The pulse keeps getting softer
Sensing a diminishing life force or connection.
Come on baby won't you feel alright?
Reiterating the desire for comfort and reassurance.
It feels like forever since I've been warm at night
Longing for warmth and intimacy, repeated plea for emotional connection.
So let's get back to what all that was fair and just
Yearning for a return to fairness and justice in the relationship.
Oh won't you please love me again?
Pleading for love and reconciliation.
Come on, baby
Repetition of the plea for emotional connection.
You've got something to lose
Stating the potential loss, emphasizing something valuable at stake.
I'll buy you new clothes
Offering material possessions as a demonstration of affection.
I'll buy you new shoes
Expressing willingness to provide necessary things.
All kinds of things that we could really use
Highlighting the availability of various material items.
But all I need is you
Declaring emotional dependency on the person.
I need you girl, you got that heart and soul
Recognizing the partner's depth and essence.
We've been living in the dark and digging our holes
Acknowledging a period of darkness and self-destructive behavior.
But all that we need's right under our nose
Realization that what's needed is close at hand.
Boy, don't you think I know?
Acknowledgment of understanding despite difficulties.
I guess so
Acceptance or resignation to a difficult truth.
Come on baby won't you feel alright?
Reiteration of longing for emotional warmth and connection.
It feels like forever since I've been warm at night
Continued yearning for emotional intimacy.
So let's get back to what all that was fair and just
Desire to restore fairness and justice in the relationship.
Oh won't you please love me again?
Repeated plea for love and reconciliation.
Please love me again
Final plea for affection and reconciliation.
