Lyrics
Where do they go and what do they do?
Questioning the whereabouts and activities of passersby.
They're walking on by. They're looking at you.
Observing people who are passing and gazing at the person.
Some people stop, some people stare.
Noticing some individuals halt and stare.
But would they help you and do they care?
Wondering if those observers would assist and genuinely care.
How did you fall? Did you fall at all?
Asking about the circumstances of the person's fall or struggle.
Are you happy when you are sleeping underneath the stars?
Questioning if the person feels content while sleeping under the stars.
When it's cold is it your hope that keeps you warm?
Wondering if hope provides warmth during cold nights.
A spare bit of change is all that I give.
Expressing offering only a small amount of money.
How is that gonna help when you've got nowhere to live?
Doubting the effectiveness of money when lacking shelter.
Some turn away so they don't see.
Some people avoid looking to evade confronting the situation.
I bet you'd look if that were me.
Speculating that others would pay attention if roles were reversed.
How did you fall? Did you fall at all?
Reiterating the query about the circumstances of the person's fall or struggle.
Is it lonely where you are sleeping in between parked cars?
Asking if it feels isolated to sleep amidst parked cars.
When it thunders where do you hide from the storm?
Wondering where the person seeks shelter during thunderstorms.
Could you ever forgive my self-pity?
Reflecting on self-absorption and seeking forgiveness.
When you've got nothing and you're living on the streets of the city.
Contrasting having nothing while surviving on city streets.
I couldn't live without my phone.
Acknowledging dependency on personal belongings like a phone.
But you don't even have a home.
Highlighting the absence of a home for the person in contrast.
How did we fall? Can we get up at all?
Questioning a collective fall and the possibility of recovery.
Are we happy where we are on our lonely little star?
Reflecting on whether contentment exists in one's isolated situation.
When it's cold is it your hope that keeps you warm?
Reiterating the query about hope providing warmth in cold times.
Where do they go and what do they do?
Repeating the initial inquiry about passersby and their actions.
They're walking on by. They're looking at you.
Reiterating observations of people walking past and looking at the person.
They're walking on by. They're looking at you.
Emphasizing repetition of people walking by and observing the person.
