Lyrics
Locked out with just a dollar fifty and I'm homeless for the day
Locked out with just a dollar fifty and experiencing homelessness for the day
I was lonely and cold so I walked down to the train station
Feeling lonely and cold, decided to walk down to the train station to pass the time
Just to pass the time away
Seeking solace or distraction at the train station
Wasted time, wasted day, wasted year
Expressing frustration about wasted time, day, and year
All I know is that I'm growing up so fast
Realizing the rapid pace of growing up and feeling scared about it
And it's scary as hell and I've got to get out of here
Feeling a sense of urgency to leave the current situation
It looked so scary to me, it looked so scary to, it looked so scary to me
Repetition emphasizing the fear or scariness of the situation
It looked so scary to me, it looked so scary to, it looked so scary to me
-You know from a cold train platform I watched an old man make his way
Observing an old man navigating the snowy street from a cold train platform
Slowly across the snowy street below
Expressing empathy for the old man's journey
My heart goes out to him and at the same time I'm afraid
Feeling a mix of empathy and fear about aging
Some day it's gonna be my old body walking through snow if I live to get old
Contemplating the possibility of facing a similar situation in old age
It looked so scary to me, it looked so scary to, it looked so scary to me
Reiteration of the fear or scariness emphasized earlier
It looked so scary to me, it looked so scary to, so fucking scary to me
-Wasted time, wasted day, waste a day, waste away
Reiterating frustration about wasting time and days
We're wasting away
Stating that "we" (possibly society) are wasting away
Wasted time, wasted day, waste a day, waste away
Repeating the sentiment of wasting time and days
We're wasting away
Reiterating the idea that "we" are wasting away
We're wasting away
Continued emphasis on the concept of wasting away
We're wasting away
-We're wasting away
-Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Repeating the expression of wasting away with a sense of resignation or inevitability
