Don't Sleep in the Subway
Navigating Love's Crossroads: Decoding Frank Sinatra's Melodic Wisdom
Lyrics
You wander around on your own little cloud
You live in your own world, detached from reality.
When you don't see the why or the wherefore
When you can't understand the reason or purpose.
You walk out on me when we both disagree
You leave me when we have disagreements because logic isn't your concern.
Cause to reason is not what you care for
Reasoning is not important to you.
I've heard it all a million times before
I've heard your excuses repeatedly.
Take off your coat, my love, and close the door
Make yourself comfortable and close the door.
Don't sleep in the subway, darlin', don't stand in the pouring rain
Advice not to sleep or stand in the rain, metaphorically urging caution.
Don't sleep in the subway, darlin', the night is long
Repeating the warning about the challenges ahead during the night.
Forget your foolish pride, nothing's wrong
Suggests letting go of pride as there's no real issue.
Now you're beside me again
Now that we're together again.
You try to be smart, then you take it to heart
Attempting to be clever, but taking things too personally.
Cause it hurts when your ego is deflated
Feeling hurt when your self-esteem is damaged.
You don't realize that it's all compromise
Not recognizing the need for compromise in relationships.
And the problems are so overrated
Exaggerating problems, making them seem worse than they are.
Goodbye means nothing when it's all for show
Goodbyes are insincere when done for show or drama.
So why pretend you've somewhere else to go
Why pretend to have other places to go?
Don't sleep in the subway, darlin', don't stand in the pouring rain
Reiteration of the advice not to sleep or stand in the rain.
Don't sleep in the subway, darlin', the night is long
Emphasizing the challenges during the long night.
Forget your foolish pride, nothing's wrong
Reiterating the need to let go of unnecessary pride.
Now you're beside me again
We are together once more.
Don't sleep in the subway, darlin'...
Repeating the caution about not sleeping in the subway.
