Jimmy Just Clams Up
Silent Longings: Jimmy's Unspoken Tale of Love and Highs
Lyrics
Jimmy don't see too well out of his left eye now
Jimmy has impaired vision in his left eye.
It keeps him from walking to the bodega very often
His visual impairment limits his visits to the bodega.
Jimmy don’t feel too good in his left eye now
Jimmy experiences discomfort or pain in his left eye.
And every time he manages to get down the block
Despite difficulties, Jimmy manages to walk down the block.
He sees that one lady who works the register
He encounters a lady at the register during his walks.
Jimmy just clams up
Jimmy becomes silent or shy when he sees the lady at the register.
One of these days he’s gonna ask for her number
There is a desire for Jimmy to gather the courage and ask for the lady's number.
Jimmy woke up and got high
Jimmy woke up and got high on something.
It keeps him from walking to the bodega any more
Substance use prevents him from going to the bodega frequently.
Jimmy got so high he don’t feel too good
As a consequence of getting high, Jimmy feels unwell.
Jimmy don’t know what he’s missing
Jimmy is unaware of what he's missing due to his altered state.
Jimmy better be back tomorrow
There's an expectation for Jimmy to return the next day.
Every time he goes, it’s the last time
Every visit to the bodega feels like the last for Jimmy.
