Day To Day Routine
Missing Her in Routine
Lyrics
The six o'clock alarm goes off
The alarm rings at six o'clock, signaling the start of the day.
He goes outside and gets the morning paper
He goes outside to retrieve the morning newspaper.
Then grabs a legal pad so he can
He grabs a legal pad to make a list of tasks for later.
Makes a list of things to get to later
Makes a list of things to address at a later time.
He'll watch a little TV
He spends some time watching TV.
Fix some scrambled eggs and toast
Prepares scrambled eggs and toast for breakfast.
Then try to find his wallet
Attempts to locate his wallet in a pile of dirty clothes.
In a pile of dirty clothes
Faces the challenge of finding his wallet in a messy environment.
It's his day to day routine and it never changes
Describes his daily routine, emphasizing its lack of variation.
It's always more or less the same old thing
Highlights the monotony of his routine.
He always know exactly where to start
He always knows where to start his day.
'Cause missing her's the most consistent part
The most consistent aspect of his routine is missing his loved one.
Of his day to day routine
Reiterates that missing her is a significant part of his daily routine.
He gets in to work on time
He arrives at work punctually.
Stares out of the window and remembers
Reflects on memories while staring out of the window.
Makes a phone call, sends an email
Makes a phone call, sends an email, and acknowledges the ring on his finger.
And looks down at the ring that's on his finger
Observes the ring on his finger, possibly symbolizing a relationship.
At quittin' time he hates it
Feels lonely at quitting time, as her memory is the only thing waiting at home.
'Cause it makes him feel alone
Expresses discomfort at the end of the workday.
There'll be nothing but her memory
Anticipates encountering only memories of her upon returning home.
Waiting there when he gets home
It's his day to day routine and it never changes
Reiterates the unchanging nature of his day-to-day routine.
It's always more or less the same old thing
Emphasizes the repetitiveness of the same old routine.
He always know exactly where to start
He always knows where to start each day.
'Cause missing her's the most consistent part
Missing her remains the most consistent part of his routine.
Of his day to day routine
Reiterates the impact of missing her in his daily life.
The world just seems so empty with her gone
Expresses the emptiness felt in the world due to her absence.
The only thing that he can focus on, is
His focus is solely on the void created by her absence.
It's his day to day routine and it never changes
Repeats the unchanging nature of his day-to-day routine.
It's always more or less the same old thing
Emphasizes the repetitiveness of the same old routine.
He always know exactly where to start
He always knows where to start each day.
'Cause missing her's the most consistent part
Missing her remains the most consistent part of his routine.
Of his day to day routine
Reiterates the impact of missing her in his daily life.
