66 Back to Jersey
66 Back to Jersey: A Melodic Journey of Reflection and Longing
Lyrics
I went home for the summer
Returning home for the summer
Packed my bags and flew northern
Traveling north by flight
Told my friends I'm not ready to leave
Telling friends reluctance to leave
But it's nice to have you 'round the corner
Comfort of having someone nearby
Keeping me from getting older
Feeling youthful and alive
Running barefoot down my dead-end street
Recalling carefree moments in childhood
Spent some time trying to
Struggling to cope or manage
Breathe what's left of me in you
Sharing oneself with another
Hoping you would breathe it into me
Desiring mutual influence or connection
But I don't mind your twin bed either
Being content in a simple situation
Buy a coat for the cold air
Preparing for colder times ahead
Make something new of me
Seeking personal growth or change
Found myself on the 66 back to Jersey
Traveling on route 66 back to New Jersey
Miles away
Feeling distant or far away
Feeling your eyes on me
Sensing someone's gaze or attention
Waiting for a sign
Seeking confirmation or validation
To tell me this is right
Wanting assurance about the situation
Wake me up when they stop at my street
Requesting to be alerted when reaching destination
On the second of September
Referencing a specific date
Drove to Boston, fuck the weather
Disregarding unfavorable conditions in a journey
Rained all day I think that meant something
Assigning significance to adverse weather
But it's nice to have you 'round the corner
Expressing comfort in someone's presence
Coming over less than sober
Visits from someone in a less sober state
I don't mind the company
Appreciating the company despite circumstances
Found myself on the 66 back to Jersey
Repeating the journey on route 66
Miles away
Continued distance or separation
Feeling your eyes on me
Sensing continued attention or connection
Waiting for a sign
Seeking affirmation or guidance
To tell me this is right
Desiring confirmation about the path taken
Wake me up when they stop at my street
Asking for notification at arrival
I'm too high to be here tonight
Feeling disconnected or altered due to intoxication
And I miss my old friends
Longing for past companions
Don't we all sometimes
Expressing common sentiment
I'm bitter but I'm kind
Combining bitterness with kindness
And I fucking miss you all the time
Expressing constant longing for someone
Found myself on the 66 back to Jersey
Repeating the journey on route 66 once more
Miles away
Continued distance or separation
Feeling your eyes on me
Feeling ongoing attention or connection
Waiting for a sign
Seeking confirmation or validation
To tell me this is right
Wanting assurance about the situation
Wake me up when they stop at my street
Requesting to be alerted when reaching destination or feeling content
Wake me up when it starts to feel sweet
Asking to be awakened when things become pleasant
Wake me up
Requesting to be awakened
