Lyrics
Remember when they tore up the lot
Reflecting on a past event when a parking lot was destroyed
Where we used to park our cars?
Nostalgia about a place where cars used to be parked
Now we're bumping Pavement
Currently enjoying the music scene or lifestyle represented by "Pavement"
Down from the basement
Referencing a lower level or underground music culture
I ran the place like a talk show host
Recalling a time when the speaker had control or influence, likened to a talk show host
We didn't know what we didn't know
Reflecting on a lack of awareness at that time
Now we're playing Piano Man,
Engaging in the song "Piano Man," possibly representing a shift in musical taste or lifestyle
Driving the minivan
Driving a minivan, symbolizing a change in lifestyle
Don't wanna go to the party, man
Expressing reluctance to attend a party because the speaker is already intoxicated or in a certain state
Cause I'm already on one
Indicating the speaker is already in a party mood
Will I wreck your plans if I hold your hand?
Wondering if holding hands would disrupt someone else's plans
Cause I'm already gone
Implying the speaker has already moved on or left emotionally
Learned to drive in a graveyard
Recalling learning to drive in a cemetery, symbolizing a peculiar or unconventional experience
Where all the men were already dead
Describing the graveyard as a place where men were already deceased
Things were just better then
Suggesting a sentiment that things were better in the past
Or did I forget?
Pondering if the speaker forgot the past positive experiences
My bedroom was a horror show
Characterizing the speaker's bedroom as chaotic or unsettling
I didn't know what I didn't know
Reflecting on a lack of awareness or understanding in the past
It was all mistakes, but now it's just outtakes
Highlighting past mistakes that are now viewed as mere outtakes or irrelevant
Don't wanna go to the party, man
Reiterating the reluctance to attend a party due to the speaker's current state
Cause I'm already on one
Confirming the speaker is already in a party mood
Will I wreck your plans if I hold your hand?
Asking if holding hands would interfere with someone else's plans
Cause I'm already gone
Reiterating that the speaker has already emotionally moved on or left
