Since Day
Yearning Nights: Ethan James' Soulful Plea for Connection
Lyrics
Easy come my way
Expressing a situation or opportunity that came easily.
So long since yesterday
Referring to a considerable time since the previous day.
And I know that you’ve been working late
Acknowledging the partner's long work hours.
But baby I can’t stand another day
Expressing impatience or discomfort with the current situation.
Won’t you come my way
Requesting the partner's presence.
Let’s light a blunt and we can meditate
Suggesting relaxation and introspection through smoking marijuana.
And I know that you’ve been working late
Reiterating the acknowledgment of the partner's late work hours.
But I wanna see you anyway
Expressing a strong desire to see the partner despite their work schedule.
Northwest of the river but I’m down south
Geographical reference indicating being in a different location than expected.
My car been making sounds I need to sort it out
Personal vehicle issues that need attention.
I can’t tell you how I know it’s word of mouth
Indicating awareness of information through unofficial sources.
Yeah I can’t tell you how I know it’s word of mouth
Reiterating the knowledge gained from unofficial sources.
Fuck it where’s the herbs I’m tryna roll it now
Expressing a desire to find and use marijuana.
Clouding out the car I’m tryna smoke it out
Attempting to fill the car with marijuana smoke.
It’s way past 10:30 and your lurking round
Noting the late hour and the partner's presence.
So if you need it like I need it you should call me now
Encouraging the partner to contact if they also desire what is being implied.
Because you need it more than I
Implying the partner's greater need for something unspecified.
Because you need me more tonight
Stating the partner's increased need for the singer's presence tonight.
Every time I say to come around
Expressing frustration with the partner's reluctance to visit.
These excuses man I can’t figure you out
Expressing confusion over the partner's repeated excuses.
How many times ain’t you running out ?
Questioning the frequency of the partner's departures.
Can’t even lie boy I need you now
Admitting a strong current need for the partner.
Easy come my way
Repetition of earlier lines, emphasizing the singer's feelings.
So long since yesterday
Restating a significant period since the previous day.
And I know that you’ve been working late
Reiterating awareness of the partner's late work hours.
But baby I can’t stand another day
Re-emphasizing impatience or discomfort with the current situation.
Won’t you come my way
Repeated request for the partner's presence.
Let’s hit a blunt and we can meditate
Proposing relaxation and reflection through marijuana use.
And I know that you’ve been working late
Restating acknowledgment of the partner's late work hours.
But I wanna see you anyway
Reiterating the strong desire to see the partner despite their work schedule.
