Dinner Alone
Navigating Solitude: Josh Fudge's 'Dinner Alone' Unraveled
Lyrics
You text me and ask if I'm okay
You reach out to check on my well-being.
I say I'm alright, just thinking
I respond that I'm fine but in contemplation.
Need something to clear my mind
I seek something to help clear my thoughts.
You ask my plans for the weekend
You inquire about my plans for the weekend.
I'll wait till you agree and say that
I'll wait for your approval and express that I'm interested, but constrained by time.
I'd love to, I just don't have the time
Despite my interest, I convey a lack of availability.
You sit and text me while you stay home
You continue to message me while being alone at home.
Dinner alone, dinner alone
You experience dinner alone.
I'm sorry that I had to postpone
I express regret for having to reschedule our plans.
For dinner alone, dinner alone
You have dinner alone again.
I look at my phone to miss calls
I check my phone, noticing missed calls.
Don't want to talk to you at all
I don't want to communicate with you presently.
Voicemail just catches everything
Voicemail captures everything unsaid.
I think that we need to talk
I feel it's time for a conversation.
Come on over, let's take a walk
I suggest coming over for a talk or a walk.
We both know it's coming, why
We both anticipate a necessary discussion, wondering why I keep avoiding it.
Do I keep running, Running
Despite the impending conversation, I continue to evade it.
You sit and text me while you stay home
You persist in texting while being alone at home.
Dinner alone, dinner alone
You have dinner alone again.
I'm sorry that I had to postpone
I apologize once more for postponing our plans.
For dinner alone, dinner alone
You experience another dinner alone.
