Room
Yearning Spaces: Pat Parker's Echoes of Loneliness and Desire
Lyrics
It's not my house
Expresses that the place is not the speaker's residence
Can't let you in oh no
States inability or refusal to allow entry
We scurry about
Describes hurried movement, possibly in secrecy
Like two mice living in sin
Compares the speaker and another person to mice living in sin, indicating clandestine or morally questionable behavior
They're worried about
Refers to the concerns or anxieties about an impending end or conclusion
The end don't know where to begin
Expresses confusion or uncertainty about where to start
Where do I begin
Reiterates the confusion about where to begin
I'm lonely
States a feeling of isolation or being without companionship
What about you
Asks about the loneliness or emotional state of the other person
If you come home with me
Suggests that the act of the other person coming home might alleviate the speaker's loneliness
Maybe that'll do it
Posits the possibility of the other person's presence solving the loneliness issue
But if not who cares I'll sleep downstairs
Indicates a lack of concern; willing to accommodate the other person even if the suggested solution doesn't work
Give you the room
Willingness to offer the room or space to the other person
Just need some room
Expresses the need for personal space or privacy
It's not my house
Reiterates that the place is not the speaker's residence
Can't let you in oh no
Repeats the inability or refusal to allow entry
I'm lonely
Repeats the feeling of loneliness
What about you
Repeats the inquiry about the emotional state of the other person
If you come home with me
Repeats the suggestion that the other person coming home might alleviate the speaker's loneliness
Maybe that'll do it

But if not who cares I'll sleep downstairs
Reiterates the lack of concern if the suggested solution doesn't work
Give you the room
Repeats the willingness to offer the room or space to the other person
Just need some room
Reiterates the need for personal space or privacy
Just need some room
Emphasizes the strong desire for personal space or privacy
I'm lonely
