Say What
Embracing Life's Pause: Jesse Winchester's 'Say What' Perspective
Lyrics
Hey girl say hey
Expression of greeting, initiating a conversation.
Say what a watcha say
Encouragement to speak and convey thoughts.
Hey girl say hey
Repetition of greeting, emphasizing communication.
Say what
Encouragement to express oneself.
The latest new is somewhat depressing
Introduction of a negative tone, mentioning depressing news.
The latest figures are a li'l bit distressing
Highlighting distressing statistics or information.
So what you say can we let it slide for a day darlin'
Proposal to overlook the negative for a day.
What you say
Reiteration of the request for agreement or approval.
I get the word from Arthur my broker
Source of information, Arthur the broker, advising to sell.
He says "sell it all son and stick to poker"
Suggesting a shift from investments to poker.
So what you say if we let it slide for a day darlin'
Proposal to delay actions for a day in response to advice.
What you say
Reiteration of the request for agreement or approval.
What's the big rush
Questioning the urgency or necessity of a quick response.
What's the big hurry
Questioning the need for haste or rush.
We've all the time in the world for the worry
Emphasizing the abundance of time to address concerns.
We'll tell the world that we'll meet em on Sunday
Planning to meet others on Sunday but suggesting a delay.
Then we don't show up until Monday, alright
Humorous suggestion of not adhering to the planned schedule.
I don't sweat it that much as a rule
Expressing a generally calm attitude, not worrying much.
But lately it's been rough keeping cool
Acknowledging recent difficulties in maintaining composure.
So hey what you say if we let it slide for a day darlin'
Proposal to temporarily set aside concerns.
What you say
Reiteration of the request for agreement or approval.
The daily grind is getting me frantic
Describing the daily routine as stressful and hectic.
'Cause I see myself as a laid-back romantic
Self-perception as a laid-back romantic, despite the grind.
So hey what you say if we let it slide for a day girl
Proposal to take a break from the routine for a day.
Oh what you say
Reiteration of the request for agreement or approval.
