Let Fletcher Sleep
Let Fletcher Sleep: Embracing Life's Moments Amidst Work
Lyrics
Wake you up as I'm going to bed
Transitioning to bed while waking the other person up, indicating a different sleep schedule.
I worked late but you understand
Explaining working late to the partner, expressing gratitude for their understanding.
It ain't worth crying
Encouragement not to stress or be upset over trivial matters.
It's our life but we make it right
Jointly taking charge of life's challenges and making things right together.
Go to Chili's on a Friday night
Choosing a casual dining spot (Chili's) for leisure on a Friday night.
And you french fries
Enjoying small pleasures like French fries.
Yeah buy some french fries
Encouraging the purchase of French fries, emphasizing simple joys.
But if you wake and your awful job
Acknowledging the struggle of waking up for a difficult job.
Looms heavy and you can't go on
Feeling overwhelmed by a challenging job situation.
Understand when I say let Fletcher sleep
Suggesting letting the singer sleep to support them through their tiredness.
I'll hold you in the evening time
Promising affection and comfort in the evening after the partner's work.
After your work and before mine
Allocating a brief period to be together despite conflicting work schedules.
A few hours to pretend you're always with me
Creating an illusion of constant togetherness during limited free time.
Night life ain't the good life
Contrasting the night life as not necessarily the ideal life, but it's what's familiar and functional.
But it's been working for my whole life
Expressing that the night life has been effective for the singer's entire life.
It's all I know
Implying a lack of familiarity with an alternative lifestyle.
Can't get away but we pretend
Feeling trapped but using imagination to escape reality temporarily.
Vacation in our minds again
Mentally escaping to a vacation while physically unable to do so.
We're on the beach
Imagining being on a beach, symbolizing relaxation and freedom.
In my van seat
Referencing the closeness within the singer's van, a cozy space.
If you wake and your shitty job
Reiterating the hardship of waking up for an undesirable job.
Looms heavy and you can't go on
Experiencing the weight of a burdensome job that's hard to endure.
Don't cry when I say let Fletcher sleep
Asking for understanding and support by letting the singer rest despite work stress.
I'll hold you in the evening time
Committing to providing comfort and companionship after the partner's work hours.
After your work and before mine
Allocating a brief period for togetherness despite conflicting schedules.
A few hours to pretend you're always with me
Creating an illusion of constant companionship during limited shared time.
