Drawerings
Navigating Love's Labyrinth: Dinosaur Jr.'s Drawerings Unveiled
Lyrics
Do you know that it's alright?
Expressing reassurance or comfort, questioning if the situation is acceptable.
I been thinkin', seein' that's not how it's gotta be
Contemplating an alternative perspective, suggesting a willingness to change.
Ain't sayin' if it's worth the fight
Uncertain about the value of the struggle or conflict.
I'm a space but you can count on me to save your place
Personal commitment to maintaining a reserved space for someone.
And I know it's all to do with you and me
Acknowledging that the situation is connected to the speaker and the listener.
Do you know if you're against the deal? We'll wait and see
Pondering the consequences if one opposes an agreement.
But I'd love to hear that story once again
Expressing a desire to hear a particular narrative once more.
It's the only part of me you still defend
Highlighting a specific aspect of the speaker that the listener still supports.
Did you know I heard your voice?
Awareness of having heard the other person's voice previously.
But when I call to see if you're around, I have no choice
Indicating a lack of choice when checking the other person's availability.
Then the news is in my face
Receiving impactful news directly.
Took a step to let the feeling go and lost my place
Taking a step to release a feeling but losing one's position or stability.
And I swear I hear the same thing every night
Perceiving a recurring theme or statement regularly.
Once again no one counted for the hours I spent
Feeling unrecognized or unaccounted for in terms of time spent.
I baked as any time I drifted out of sight
Recalling instances when distractions led to being out of view or unnoticed.
Remember when you didn't need this time to mend
Reflecting on a time when the listener didn't require as much time to heal.
Anywhere you'd like to go
Inviting the other person to choose any destination or path.
Would it help to be inside the life I couldn't know?
Wondering if understanding the speaker's past would make a difference.
If your shaken it won't show
Assuring that internal struggles won't be apparent to others.
Hold out for me, 'cause bailin' at this point is really low.
Pleading for support, emphasizing the low point of abandoning the connection.
And I know it's all to do with just a friend
Acknowledging that the situation involves just a friendship.
And I can't decipher messages you send
Expressing difficulty in understanding the messages or signals received.
But I'd love to hear that story once again
Reiterating the desire to hear a specific story once more.
It's the only part of me you still defend
Highlighting the listener's continued defense of a particular aspect of the speaker.
