Gotta Go to Bed
Wandering Nights: Seeking Connection Amid Loneliness
Lyrics
Spent all year wandering around
Reflecting on a year spent aimlessly wandering.
Now there's new dudes running this town
New individuals have taken control of the town.
They all seem pretty cool
The new people seem interesting and likable.
A few girls know my name
A few girls are familiar with the speaker's name.
And it's been hard I admit
Admitting difficulty in maintaining a positive outlook as one ages.
To stay upbeat the older I get
Struggling to stay optimistic with the passage of time.
Try to make 'em feel new
Attempting to make new experiences feel fresh.
The things I've done before
Reflecting on past actions and experiences.
Well I've been out son
Expressing having been out and about.
And I've gotta to go to bed
Feeling the need to go to bed, possibly tired or overwhelmed.
Well I'm never gonna find time
Expressing the challenge of finding time for oneself.
To rest my sleepy head
Struggling to find time to rest and relax.
When the nights get so lonely
Describing lonely nights as a recurring theme.
Well I've been lost on the road
Being lost on a journey to find someone to share burdens.
To find someone to help carry my load
Searching for someone to help carry the speaker's load.
Waste my whole damn day
Wasting time throughout the day.
Looking for a girl I've never known
Seeking a connection with an unknown girl.
I checked downtown
Exploring downtown in search of companionship.
The girls were business minded
Noting that downtown girls are focused on business.
Went upstate
Traveling to upstate and encountering individuals getting high.
They're all getting too high
Observing the behavior of people in upstate.
Oh those country girls
Expressing vulnerability to country girls who have an impact.
Ruin me every time
Highlighting the influence of country girls on the speaker.
Well I've been out son
Reiterating being out and about.
And I've gotta to go to bed
Feeling the need to go to bed again.
Well I'm never gonna find time
Expressing the ongoing struggle to find time for oneself.
To rest my sleepy head
Continuing to face challenges in resting and relaxing.
When the nights get so lonely
Repeating the theme of lonely nights.
