Interstate
Lost on the Interstate: A Journey Through Heartbreak
Lyrics
I've been crying in the parking lot
The speaker has been crying in a parking lot.
Off the interstate
This emotional experience occurred off the interstate.
Where you called to ask me
The person being addressed called to inquire if the speaker would wait.
If I would just wait
The speaker is reflecting on being asked to wait.
Haven't been sleeping in my own bed
The speaker hasn't been sleeping in their own bed, suggesting emotional distress or unrest.
Hope you've been sleeping in yours
Expressing a hope that the person they are addressing has been sleeping well.
Hope you are safe out there
The speaker wishes the person's safety but is unsure about it.
But I can't be sure
Despite the wish, there's uncertainty about the person's safety.
I've got nothing but time
The speaker has a surplus of time.
I've got nothing but words to say now
With time on their hands, the speaker has words to express.
I kind of think that they're mine
The speaker believes these words are their own.
But I guess I don't have a say now
Despite thinking they own the words, the speaker acknowledges a lack of control.
I've been out shopping
The speaker has been shopping, possibly as a way to cope.
I guess I finally found
They have found something they like enough to keep.
Something that I like enough
The speaker has discovered something meaningful through shopping.
To keep around
Expressing a desire to hold onto this meaningful discovery.
Maybe I deserve sadness
The speaker contemplates whether they deserve sadness.
And I'll drown in that
Anticipating drowning in sadness, accepting it as a part of life.
Even if I come back
Even if they return, the speaker is prepared to face the emotional challenges.
I don't mind getting wet
Expressing a willingness to endure difficulties.
I've got nothing but time
Reiteration of having plenty of time.
I've got nothing but words to say now
Repetition of having words to express with the available time.
I kind of think that they're mine
Restating the belief that these words belong to the speaker.
But I guess I don't have a say now
Despite the belief, the speaker acknowledges a lack of control over the words.
