Lyrics
I've got nobody waiting for me
I don't have anyone eagerly anticipating my return.
There's no one that I have to see
There's no specific person I'm obligated to meet.
Anytime, anyplace that I said I would be
I can be anywhere at any time as promised.
Finally I'm free and I'll be anywhere
Now that I am free, I can go anywhere without restrictions.
I'll chase my tail till I fall in a heap
I will engage in aimless pursuits until exhaustion.
Now all that I have to lose is some sleep
With nothing to lose except sleep, I embrace the freedom.
And I'll give away all of the hours you keep
I'm willing to give away time without concern for its value.
Finally I'm me and I'll be anywhere
Now that I'm true to myself, I can be anywhere.
I'll stay out until the sun makes a play
I'll stay out until the morning signals a new day.
For the sky and a new day's begun
The sun heralds the beginning of a fresh start.
I'll sit up the back of the bus
Choosing a carefree spot at the back of the bus.
And without any fuss I will travel
I'll travel without causing any disturbance.
'Cause I've got no one to weigh on my mind
No burdensome thoughts of someone weighing on my mind.
No footsteps are dragging behind
No one following, no lingering footsteps.
As fingers reach out for the feeling in mind
Avoiding emotional entanglements as others seek connection.
I got nobody waiting for me
Reiterating the absence of anyone eagerly waiting for me.
All that money grows out on the trees
Describing money as abundant and easily attainable.
Notes float along like seeds on the breeze
Comparing money to seeds floating freely in the air.
And they're easy to catch but they hatch a disease
Cautioning about the negative impact of easy wealth.
That eats away the soul of you, the whole of you
Highlighting the corrosive effect of materialism on the soul.
And all those wages we make for our sins
Our earnings can become constraints and self-imposed limitations.
Become the cages we lock ourselves in
Money can transform into the confines we place on ourselves.
Become the age that is marked on our skin
Reflecting on the visible signs of aging caused by life choices.
But I'm not gonna worry 'bout all that 'cause
Expressing a lack of concern about these societal pressures.
I'll live on the taste of the air
Finding joy in the simple pleasures of life, like the air we breathe.
This is life without care and I like it this way
Embracing a carefree existence and enjoying it.
I'll lie across the whole of the bed
Lying comfortably, metaphorically detached from the world.
In the world in my head, I will travel
Mentally traveling within the world created in the mind.
But I've got nobody left to impress
No need to impress anyone; I'm free from such expectations.
No neck for my lips to caress
No romantic entanglements or physical connections.
As I work out the buttoned up back of a dress
Engaging in practical tasks without emotional attachments.
I got nobody waiting for me
Reiterating the absence of anyone eagerly waiting for me.
Nobody's waiting for me
Emphasizing the loneliness and lack of waiting individuals.
No, nobody's waiting for me
Reiterating the absence of individuals eagerly anticipating my return.
