Lyrics
I don’t think you’re coming up until October
Anticipation of the other person's arrival in October.
I don’t think you’d like to see me growing older now
Doubt about the other person's acceptance of aging.
I’d like to see you now
Expressing a desire to meet the other person.
I’ll just take myself into the other corner
Choosing isolation or withdrawal to a separate corner.
I’ll just stick around in case you’re mulling over how
Remaining nearby in case the other person is reflecting on something.
I’d like to see you now
Reiteration of the desire to see the other person.
You never took one second to look up
Accusation of the other person not paying attention.
You never took one second to care for all the time
Pointing out a lack of concern for time.
All the time
Emphasis on the importance of time.
I wish I could just tap into your thoughts
Expressing a wish to understand the other person's thoughts.
Take out everything you’ve placed in front
Desire to remove obstacles or distractions created by the other person.
Of all the time
Reiterating the impact of time on the situation.
Another day, another way to make a dollar
Introduction of the daily struggle for financial gain.
Another day, another way to make a dollar
Repetition of the challenges in making a living.
So now I’m waiting to be entertained
Waiting for entertainment, possibly as a distraction.
Until I’m withered away
Waiting until personal vitality diminishes.
Until I’m withered away
Repetition of the anticipation of withering away.
I don’t think you’re gonna see me coming home ’cause
Doubt about returning home and receiving support.
I don’t think I wanna get another shoulder now
Reluctance to seek comfort from another source.
I’d like to see you now
Reiteration of the desire to see the other person.
Maybe this is something I’d feel sorry for but
Contemplation of feeling sorry for a situation.
Maybe it’s enough to get you crying over how
Suggesting that it might be sufficient for the other person to reflect on.
I’d like to see you now
Reiterating the desire to see the other person.
You never took one second to look up
Repetition of the accusation of not paying attention.
You never took one second to care for all the time
Repetition of pointing out a lack of concern for time.
All the time
Reiteration of the emphasis on the importance of time.
Another day, another way to make a dollar
Reiteration of the daily struggle for financial gain.
Another day, another way to make a dollar
Repetition of the challenges in making a living.
So now I’m waiting to be entertained
Repetition of waiting for entertainment as a distraction.
So now I’m waiting to be entertained
-Until I’m withered away
Repetition of waiting until personal vitality diminishes.
Until I’m withered away
Repetition of the anticipation of withering away.
Until I’m withered away
-Until I’m withered away
