Lyrics
Sitting on the curb outside the show
Sitting outside the venue, anticipating the event
Waiting for the bands with all the kids I know
Waiting with familiar people for the bands to start
Coming in from out of town for the weekend
Traveling from another place for a short stay
All the lyrics to the songs we've been singing
Familiarity with the lyrics of the songs being performed
I hope I hope I get to see her tonight
Hoping to encounter a specific person at the event
Maybe say hello
Expressing the desire to greet or acknowledge someone
Or just catch her eye
Perhaps making eye contact without speaking
Maybe she'll be at the show tonight
Anticipating the person's presence at the show
The vans in the alley the gears in the street
Observing the equipment and setup for the bands
Everybody in the bands just kids like me
Realizing that the musicians are similar in age and experience
I started playing at the shows on the weekends
Beginning to perform at similar events during weekends
All the lyrics to the songs we've been singing
Familiarity with the songs performed during these shows
It's gonna be a big crowd this evening
Expecting a large audience for the performance
Still working on the lyrics I'm needing
Still refining and perfecting the lyrics of personal songs
Maybe she'll hear the words I'm singing
Hoping the specific person will listen to these lyrics
Maybe she'll hear these songs I write
Desiring recognition for the songs and their meaning
Maybe if she's at the show tonight
Anticipating the possibility of meeting the person tonight
Coming in from out of town for the weekend
Reiterating arrival from another place for a brief period
All the lyrics to the songs we've been singing
Continued familiarity with the songs performed
I hope I hope I get to see her tonight
Reiterating the desire to meet the specific person
Maybe say hello
Similar to line 7, hoping to initiate contact
Or just catch her eye
Seeking acknowledgment through eye contact
Maybe she'll be at the show tonight
Anticipating the person's attendance at the show
Maybe take a chance
Considering taking a risk to interact with the person
And stop wasting time
Realizing the value of the present moment and not wasting it
Maybe if she's at the show tonight
Contemplating the potential meeting with the person tonight
Maybe if she's at the show tonight
Reiterating the possibility of the person being at the show tonight
