Sandwich Shop
Summer's Embrace: Finding Uniqueness at the Sandwich Shop
Lyrics
And that hot, summer stench of leather sitting in the car
The speaker describes the scent of leather in a hot summer car.
Outside the sandwich shop in the plaza
The scene is set outside a sandwich shop in a plaza.
And that warm, warm breeze didn't do a damn thing to cool me off
The warm breeze doesn't provide relief, prompting the speaker to stay inside.
So I'll roll the windows up and stay inside
The speaker decides to roll up the windows and remain indoors.
And let life pass me by
A contemplation on letting life go by without active participation.
I know you have saved me from everything I've ever been
The speaker acknowledges being saved by someone in their life.
And I know you have shown me everything I've ever seen
The realization that the person has shown the speaker a lot in life.
And I know it's hard to find your own driveway
Commenting on the difficulty of finding one's own path.
And I know it's easy to find yourself lonely
Contrasting the ease of feeling lonely in one's journey.
Rear up, and show me something I've never seen
A call to reveal something new and extraordinary.
Crawl out of your niches that proclaim uniqueness
Encouraging people to break free from their comfort zones.
Stand up, don't make your back lean
An urging to stand tall and not slouch.
Give yourself a reason to proclaim uniqueness
Encouraging self-discovery for a unique identity.
Rubber meets the wet road, I am spinning out of control
Describing a loss of control, possibly in life's journey.
Looking for passengers, someone to help grab the wheel
Seeking companionship or support from others.
I hope it evaporates, so I can drive
Expressing a desire for difficulties to fade away so the speaker can move forward.
I know, if I want it, I can ask for help
A recognition that help is available if the speaker asks for it.
Rear up, and show me something I've never seen
A repetition of the call to reveal something new and extraordinary.
Crawl out of your niches that proclaim uniqueness
A repetition of encouraging breaking free from comfort zones.
Stand up, don't make your back lean
A repetition of the urging to stand tall and not slouch.
Give yourself a reason to proclaim uniqueness
A repetition of encouraging self-discovery for a unique identity.
And that hot, summer stench of leather sitting in the car
A repetition of the description of the scent of leather in a hot summer car.
Outside the sandwich shop in the plaza
A repetition of the setting outside a sandwich shop in a plaza.
And that warm, warm breeze didn't do a damn thing to cool me off
A repetition of the ineffective warm breeze in cooling off.
But I'll roll the windows down and go outside
The speaker decides to open the windows and go outside, choosing not to let life pass by.
And not let life pass me by
A commitment to actively engage with life instead of being a passive observer.
Rear up, and show me something I've never seen
A repetition of the call to reveal something new and extraordinary.
Crawl out of your niches that proclaim uniqueness
A repetition of encouraging breaking free from comfort zones.
Stand up, don't make your back lean
A repetition of the urging to stand tall and not slouch.
Give yourself a reason to proclaim uniqueness
A repetition of encouraging self-discovery for a unique identity.
