Can't Hardly Wait
Yearning in the Night: Justin Townes Earle's Can't Hardly Wait
Lyrics
Write you a letter tomorrow
Expressing the intention to write a letter the next day.
Tonight I can't hold a pen
Unable to write tonight due to emotional or mental turmoil.
Someone's got a stamp I can borrow
Seeking a postage stamp from someone to send the letter.
I promise not to blow the address again
Assuring not to make a mistake in addressing the letter again.
Lights that flash in the evening
Describing lights that flicker or blink in the evening.
Through a hole in the drapes
Observing lights through an opening in the curtains or drapes.
Jesus rides beside me
Mentioning the presence of Jesus as a comforting companion.
Never buys any smokes
Highlighting a characteristic of Jesus who doesn't smoke.
Well, hurry up, hurry up
Impatiently urging someone to hurry up and move on from current circumstances.
Ain't you had enough of this stuff
Expressing a desire to escape or be done with a challenging situation.
Ashtray floors, dirty clothes, filthy jokes
Depicting a scene with unpleasant elements like ashtray floors, dirty clothes, and crude jokes.
See you're high and lonesome
Observing that someone is both elevated and lonely.
Try and try and try
Encouraging persistent efforts despite difficulties.
Lights that flash in the evening
Repeating the description of flashing lights in the evening.
Through a hole in the drapes
Reiterating the view of lights through an opening in the drapes.
I'll be home when I'm sleeping
Stating an intention to be home during sleep.
I can't hardly wait
Expressing impatience, emphasizing the anticipation of an event or moment.
No, I can't wait
Repeating the sentiment of eagerness and inability to wait.
I can't wait now
Emphasizing the urgency of not being able to wait.
No, I can't wait
Reiterating the inability to wait.
I can't wait
Repeating the sentiment of being unable to wait, indicating heightened anticipation.
