Lyrics
Now you see all this time
Reflecting on the past, acknowledging the passage of time.
Work nine to five
Engaged in conventional work hours, a regular job from 9 to 5.
Monday through Friday I'm singing
Expressing the singer's engagement in a routine, possibly mundane workweek.
I sing the blues for you
Singing metaphorical "blues" to convey emotional struggles or hardships.
Now I'm standing in the pouring rain
Presenting a scene of standing in the rain, symbolizing challenges or difficulties.
My feet are cold but I can't complain
Despite discomfort, the singer refrains from complaining about their situation.
And I wonder how you have been
Expressing curiosity about someone's well-being, possibly a past connection.
I need you love I miss you so
Conveying a longing for love and expressing missing someone.
I know it's right but it's always strange
Recognizing a situation as right, but acknowledging its inherent strangeness.
How I scream
Describing the act of screaming, possibly representing inner turmoil or frustration.
All this life's worth all the while
Affirming that life, despite its challenges, is worthwhile.
Heartache and slave driving pain
Describing emotional pain and the harshness of life's challenges.
I sing the blues for you
Reiteration of singing the blues, emphasizing the emotional expression through music.
Now I'm standing in the pouring rain
Continuation of the imagery of standing in the rain, facing difficulties.
My feet are cold but I can't complain
Despite physical discomfort, refraining from complaint.
And I wonder how you have been
Expressing curiosity about someone's well-being, echoing earlier lines.
I need you love I miss you so
Reiterating the need for love and the longing for someone missed.
I know it's right but it's always strange
Acknowledging the rightness of a situation while maintaining its inherent strangeness.
