Lyrics

8:45 A.M

Reflecting the time, setting the scene in the morning.

The dream just escaped me again

Expressing frustration or disappointment about a recurring dream that remains elusive.

Over breakfast I could hear you in the garage building insects

Imagery of someone working on something mysterious or intricate in the garage while the speaker listens during breakfast.

I know that knock

The speaker recognizes a specific knock at the door.

Come on, I just put on the coffee

Inviting someone in and offering hospitality by suggesting coffee.

I know that knock

Repetition of the recognizable knock, emphasizing its significance.

They wanna come inside and speak with me

Suggesting that those at the door want to have a conversation with the speaker.


At the door came the knock of

Describing the knock as belonging to a witness who wishes to talk.

The witness just wants to talk to you

Reiteration of the witness's desire to talk, emphasizing its importance.

The witness just wants to talk to you

-

The witness just wants to talk to you

-

The witness just wants to talk to you

-

Did you see the look on the face of the kid he brought with him?

Observation of the teenager accompanying the witness, noting their radiant expression.

I never once seen a teenager look so radiant

Expressing surprise at the teenager's remarkable appearance.

You said, "Why did you get so sentimental over them?"

Addressing a question about the speaker's emotional response to the situation.

I wasn't, it's just, it's been a long time since I was moved to crying

Clarifying that the speaker's emotions are not sentimental but a genuine reaction after a long time.


At the door came the knock of

Repetition of the witness wanting to talk, reinforcing the urgency.

The witness just wants to talk to you

-

The witness just wants to talk to you

-

The witness just wants to talk to you

-

The witness just wants to talk to you

-

The witnesses just want to talk to you

Highlighting that there are multiple witnesses, intensifying the need for conversation.

And in the car you said, "Everyone is suffering"

Quoting a statement made in the car about universal suffering.


At the door came the knock of

Repetition of the witness wanting to talk, underscoring its importance once again.

At the door came the knock of

-

The witness just wants to talk to you

-

The witness just wants to talk to you

-

The witness just wants to talk to you

-

The witness just wants to talk to you

Final emphasis on the witness's desire to communicate.
