Lyrics
We put on Ray Charles and broke up
We played Ray Charles and broke up.
You were packed and gone when I woke up
You had already left when I woke up.
Ray just kept on singing, he had Georgia on his mind
Ray Charles continued singing with "Georgia on his mind."
You just keep on leaving, you keep leaving all the time
You consistently leave, repeatedly abandoning the relationship.
Wonder if the stars will die tonight
Contemplating the possibility of cosmic events affecting the night.
Yeah I wonder if the cats and dogs are gonna fight
Speculating on the potential conflicts between animals.
There's no rest for the restless, so I doubt that you'll sleep well
Restlessness prevails, casting doubt on restful sleep.
I don't think that I will, my head's ringing like a bell
Both individuals are unlikely to sleep well due to emotional turmoil.
Love is blind and I don't blame her
Love is blind, understanding and empathizing with the partner's perspective.
'Cause lately I ain't been too much to see
Self-awareness of personal shortcomings, acknowledging diminished appeal.
I'd bring some girl home but then I'd have to pay her
Reluctance to pursue new relationships due to potential complications.
Won't you come home with me Rosemary?
Inviting someone named Rosemary to come home and provide companionship.
When I walked in the bar you tried to hide
Observing an attempt to avoid interaction upon entering a bar.
But I took my old place right by your side
Reclaiming a familiar place next to the person, despite their reluctance.
You looked like a raccoon with those circles round your eyes
Commenting on the person's tired appearance with dark circles around the eyes.
If my offer is improper, please come home with me tonight
Proposing a possibly inappropriate offer for companionship.
Well, I'll prick myself and see if blood comes out
Expressing readiness to face consequences, like bleeding, for the sake of honesty.
I'll play until the whole damn tape runs out
Committing to continue playing music until the end of the recording.
I'll put on that Ray Charles record, if you'll make some drinks
Suggesting a relaxed atmosphere by playing Ray Charles and making drinks.
Nothing is the matter, it don't matter what you think
Disregarding concerns about the situation and opinions of others.
Love is blind and I don't blame her
Reiteration of love's blindness, emphasizing understanding and compassion.
'Cause we all could use a little sympathy
Advocating for sympathy as a universal need for everyone.
I'd bring some girl home but then I'd have to pay her
Repeating the reluctance to engage in paid relationships.
Won't you come home with me Rosemary?
Renewing the invitation for Rosemary to provide companionship.
Love is blind and I don't blame her
Reiteration of love's blindness, considering the speaker's diminished appeal.
'Cause lately I ain't been too much to see
Acknowledging personal shortcomings affecting the perceived worth.
I'd bring some girl home but then I'd have to pay her
Repeating the reluctance to pursue paid companionship.
Won't you come home with me Rosemary?
Persistently inviting Rosemary to come home for companionship.
