You Work All Weekend
Weekend Work Blues: Heartbreak's Echo
Lyrics
When you work all weekend
Feeling unusual when working throughout the weekend.
You can't help but feel strange
Experiencing a sense of strangeness due to weekend work.
By the time Monday shows up
Changes occurring by the time Monday arrives.
Everything has changed
Noticing significant alterations in circumstances.
Out behind the schoolyard
Occurring in the backdrop of a schoolyard, possibly a nostalgic setting.
To the sound of passing trains
Amidst the noise of passing trains, indicating a dynamic or transient environment.
When you found out about him
Discovering information about someone, but it's too late to make a difference.
He's already too late
Realizing that a romantic interest has already moved on.
You see them muttering secrets to each other in crow
Observing people whispering secrets in a symbolic gathering of crows.
But they're not saying nothing you don't already know
Understanding that the secrets revealed are not new or surprising.
The only thing that you can't stop thinking about
Anxiety about everyone being aware of something concerning you.
Is how everybody knew
Focusing on how others knew before you did.
Before you
Emphasizing the pre-existing awareness of the situation before your realization.
When you smash the window in
Breaking a window, possibly an impulsive or emotional act.
The glass rolls off the car
The consequences of breaking a window, with glass rolling off a car.
When the next weekend washed up
Despite time passing, still being in a bar rather than moving on.
You were still at the bar
Remaining affected by a past weekend's events.
You've been such a basket case
Feeling emotionally distressed and unstable.
The drat boy broke your heart
A romantic disappointment leading to emotional turmoil.
And if he finds out you miss her
Fearing the reaction of someone who caused emotional pain.
He'll tear you apart
The potential harm from expressing missing someone to the person who caused pain.
Now I'm not saying you can't think for yourself
Clarifying that one has the ability to think independently.
Or even that you should go find somebody else
Suggesting the option to find someone new but not insisting on it.
But whether you ever get over them or not
Acknowledging the difficulty of getting over someone, yet they continue with their lives.
They're still going on
Highlighting the ongoing nature of others' lives without the person.
Without you
Emphasizing the separation and the continuation of others' lives independently.
