Coffee or Wine
Navigating Endings: Coffee, Wine, and Pensive Pens
Lyrics
So this is the end
Feeling like it's the conclusion or the end of something.
Can I pack up my troubles now
Expressing a desire to leave behind troubles and difficulties.
And ship them all home
Metaphorically suggesting sending problems back to their origin.
Ship myself home
Considering returning home as a solution.
For good, good, good, good
Emphasizing the intention to return home for good.
Are you sure it's the end
Questioning the certainty of the situation being the end.
'Cause not much has changed 'round here
Observing that not much has changed in the surroundings.
For awhile
Reflecting on the unchanged state for a considerable period.
For as long as I dare to think
Contemplating thoughts about someone for as long as one dares.
Of you sitting around a table
Imagining someone sitting around a table, prompting introspection.
Coffee or wine?
Pondering a choice between casual (coffee) or more intimate (wine) settings.
Signing up with a fountain pen
Symbolizing commitment or agreement by signing with a fountain pen.
Who's that?
Expressing curiosity or surprise about someone's presence.
Around the door
Questioning the identity of someone around the door.
Will I recognize you or
Wondering if the person is recognizable or has changed.
Or have you gone away from me
Expressing concern about someone possibly moving away emotionally.
Since I've been away
Considering the changes in the person during one's absence.
So long, long, long, long
Highlighting the extended duration of being away.
Ooh ah
Uttering sounds that might convey emotional nuances or uncertainty.
When I think of you sitting around a table
Reiterating the image of someone thinking around a table.
Déjeuner à tous
Using French to suggest a mealtime gathering for everyone.
Making peace with a pen
Imagining resolving conflicts or finding common ground through writing.
