Lyrics
Picture me all strung out on an old couch
Imagining oneself in a state of distress on an old couch.
Calling me everyday with your loud mouth
Describing someone who constantly communicates loudly.
But you're fine and you know that I need you yeah
Acknowledging the attractiveness of the person and expressing dependency.
And you are everything you can be boo mwah
Affirming that the person is reaching their full potential.
Follow suit Rolling slow in my old whip
Describing a leisurely drive in an old car.
All of us piled up in the back seat
Depicting a group of people together in the back seat.
And we jam all the way to the drive-in
Recalling enjoyable times driving to a movie theater.
Looking back on the times with are best friends like
Reflecting on past experiences with close friends.
We were young
Recollection of carefree and unnoticed moments from youth.
We were dumb
-We were reckless
-Having fun
-Running loose
-No one noticed
-I'm jet lagged
Expressing a feeling of fatigue or disorientation, possibly metaphorical.
I visit my brother out in Tokyo
Describing a visit to a sibling in Tokyo and enjoying relaxation.
And get that
-I listen to Hendrix on the radio
-And fall back
-A little sleep is really all I need
-And kick back
-And listen to all my old, all my old CD's
-Imagine me stuck in class on a weekend
Imagining being stuck in a class and encountering insincerity.
Crack of dawn crusty eyes half asleep when
-You caught my eye down the hallway
-Wouldn't look at me cause you're so fake, ah
-Another day turn the page on the old book
Mentioning the passage of time and the common experience of growing up.
Growing up, growing pains we all been through
-I don't mean much
Expressing the importance of someone and a willingness to leave if burdensome.
You mean it all to me
-If I get too much
-Than I'll gladly leave
-We were young
Repetition of the earlier recollection of carefree and unnoticed moments.
We were dumb
-We were reckless
-Having fun
-Running loose
-No one noticed
-I'm jet lagged
Reiteration of the theme of visiting Tokyo and finding solace in music.
I visit my brother out in Tokyo
-And get that
-I listen to Hendrix on the radio
-And fall back
-A little sleep is really all I need
-And kick back
-And listen to all my old, all my old CD's
-We were young
Final repetition of the earlier recollections, emphasizing the impact of the past.
We were dumb
-We were reckless
-Having fun
-Running loose
-No one noticed
-I'm jet lagged
-I visit my brother out in Tokyo
-And get that
-I listen to Hendrix on the radio
-And fall back
-A little sleep is really all I need
-And kick back
-And listen to all my old, all my old CD's
