Lyrics

With pen in hand

Expressing the act of writing with a pen.

You sign your name

Committing to a decision by signing one's name.

Today at five

Indicating a specific time for a departure on a train.

I'll be on that train

Suggesting a departure, possibly from a relationship.

And you'll be free

Emphasizing the freedom gained by one party after the departure.

And I'll be alone

Expressing the loneliness of the speaker after the departure.

So alone

Reiterating the profound sense of solitude.


If you think

Questioning the possibility of rediscovering past love.

We can't find the love we once knew

Challenging the belief that the speaker cannot make amends.

If you think

Repeating the challenge for emphasis.

I can't make everything up to you

Asserting the speaker's capability to make things right.

Then I'll be gone

Declaring the speaker's departure if doubts persist.

And you'll be on your own

Stating the consequence of the departure for the other person.

You'll be on your own

Reiterating the person's independence post-departure.


Can you take good care of Jenny

Inquiring about the care of a person named Jenny.

Can you take her to school everyday

Asking about the responsibility of taking Jenny to school.

Can you teach her how to play

Inquiring about teaching Jenny typical girl games.

All the games that little girls play

Referencing the innocence of childhood and play.

Hear what I say

Emphasizing the importance of the speaker's words.

Can you teach her how to roll up her hair

Asking if the person can fulfill specific grooming tasks for Jenny.

Can you make sure each night that she says her prayers

Ensuring nightly prayers for Jenny.

Well if you can do all these things

Listing responsibilities and suggesting their impact on Jenny.

Then maybe she won't miss me

Expressing hope that Jenny won't feel the speaker's absence.

Maybe she won't miss me

Repeating the hope for emphasis.


And tonight as you laid in that big lonely bed

Setting the scene of a lonely night for the other person.

And you look at that pillow

Pointing to the empty space on the bed, a symbol of absence.

Where I laid my head

Highlighting the tangible reminder of the speaker's presence.

With your heart on fire

Referring to intense emotions, possibly regret or longing.

Will you have no desire

Questioning the emotional state of the person after the departure.

To kiss me

Asking if there will be a lack of desire to reconnect.

Or to hold me

Expressing the longing for physical affection.


And if you can forget

Challenging the ability to forget the positive moments.

The good times we had

Recalling the enjoyable times shared in the relationship.

If you don't think

Asking the person to evaluate the overall balance of experiences.

They out weigh the bad

Posing the question of whether the positive outweighs the negative.

Well then go ahead

Encouraging the other person to proceed with the decision.

Sign your name

Reiterating the act of signing one's name, signaling finality.

And I'll be

Indicating the speaker's departure after the decision is made.

On my way

Stating the speaker's intent to leave.

I'll be on my way

Confirming the speaker's departure.
