Lyrics

Oh what do I have to do

Expressing a sense of frustration or uncertainty about the necessary actions to find a suitable partner.

To find somebody like you

Continuing the theme of searching for a specific type of person and the challenges involved in that quest.

But these dreams they seem to sleep

Suggesting that aspirations or ambitions may be dormant or not progressing, possibly due to a sense of stagnation.

Underneath these sheets

Imagery of dreams lying inactive, possibly beneath the covers or in a state of neglect.


I’ve seen you fumble with some jobs

Observing someone struggling with various occupations and finding solace or refuge in someone else's embrace.

And stumble into his arms

Describing a person stumbling into the arms of another, implying a lack of control or direction in their romantic life.

We can’t get the timing right

Highlighting difficulties in synchronizing actions or emotions with someone, possibly leading to relationship challenges.

You’re such a wildcard

Referring to the person as unpredictable or unconventional in their behavior and choices.


But sometimes

Introducing the idea that waiting in line is a universal experience, suggesting patience and resilience are needed in life.

We all have to wait in line

Emphasizing the inevitability of waiting in line as a metaphor for life's challenges and obstacles.

Oh why

Posing a rhetorical question about the purpose or value of waiting, hinting at a sense of doubt or frustration.

Is it just a waste of time

Questioning whether waiting is a meaningful or productive use of time, expressing skepticism or dissatisfaction.


You’re still in Philadelphia

Locating a person in Philadelphia, suggesting a specific place or situation that may be relevant to the narrative.

In the darkness under his thumb

Describing a person still entangled in a problematic situation or relationship, represented by "under his thumb."

I tried to warn you then

Recalling a past attempt to caution or advise the person, indicating a history of concern for their well-being.

But you’re stubborn as they come

Characterizing the person as stubborn, emphasizing their resistance to advice or guidance.


She said “I’m barely hanging on”

Quoting the person expressing a precarious emotional state while denying any significant issues, hinting at internal struggles.

“But I swear that there’s nothing wrong”

Contradicting the person's reassurance by acknowledging the presence of a particular type of bruise that implies harm.

Well, I know that type of bruise

Recognizing and understanding the nature of a specific injury or emotional wound.

Ain't from just anyone

Suggesting that the mentioned bruise is not something experienced casually or by just anyone, implying severity or significance.


But sometimes

Reiterating the idea that waiting in line is a shared experience, reinforcing the universality of this metaphor.

We all have to wait in line

Reaffirming the inevitability of facing challenges and delays, emphasizing the need for patience and endurance.

Oh why

Persisting with the questioning of the purpose or value of waiting, suggesting an ongoing contemplation of life's uncertainties.

Is it just a waste of time

Expressing doubt or skepticism about whether waiting is a worthwhile investment of time and effort.


Oh no we don’t need to justify

Rejecting the need for justification in the face of waiting in line, asserting its inevitability as a universal experience.

We all have to wait in line

Reiterating the idea that everyone, without exception, has to endure the experience of waiting in line.
