Lyrics
Let's go back
Let's return to a past time or memory.
To the clean gulf water you drank
Recalling the pure Gulf water you once consumed.
When you were a child
Reflecting on your childhood.
Let's stay in bed all day
Suggesting spending the day in bed together.
& get cheap room service instead
Opting for inexpensive room service instead.
There's always tomorrow
Emphasizing the presence of another day.
Let's make a movie now
Expressing a desire to create a film at present.
Since the times don't have what we want
Acknowledging unavailability of desired things in current times.
We'll just have to borrow
Suggesting the need to borrow or compromise.
I'll change my face if it helps you out
Willingness to change oneself for the benefit of another.
I can be two people at once
Claiming the ability to be two personas simultaneously.
I've already proved it
Asserting previous demonstration of this ability.
Things fall down
Noting the tendency of things to collapse or fail.
In the middle of the night
Specifically mentioning the nighttime for these occurrences.
You hear me wallow
Expressing personal emotional distress audibly.
Mama, let's shake this whole damn house
Proposing to shake things up significantly.
& show people who can't understand
Wanting to show those who don't comprehend.
That we will be honored
Anticipating being recognized or respected.
My lovin ain't no selfless act
Declaring that one's love isn't entirely altruistic.
& God I'm so full of pain
Acknowledging personal pain and anguish.
I've been aching to ease it
Longing to alleviate the pain.
Things fall down
Repeating the idea of things falling down, echoing distress.
In the middle of the night
Linking these falls to the middle of the night again.
You hear me wallow
Reiterating audible distress during these times.
I don't wanna see
Expressing a desire to avoid seeing other living beings.
Any other living beings
Strongly rejecting the presence of others.
No!
Emphatically refusing their existence.
I don't even care where they go
Indicating indifference towards their whereabouts.
But I'll do right by them
Promising to act justly towards them despite indifference.
Honey, I'll do right by you
Pledging to treat the addressed person fairly and righteously.
