Lyrics
Open up your tired eyes
Encouragement to open one's eyes, possibly metaphorical, urging to face reality.
And force yourself to smile
Suggesting a forced smile, an attempt to maintain positivity despite challenges.
Yesterday was yesterday
Highlighting the past, emphasizing its irrelevance now.
It's gone, it's tomorrow now
The past is gone; the focus shifts to the present and future.
It's here, it's tomorrow now
Reiteration of the transition to the future, emphasizing the current moment.
Now I must go
Expressing the necessity to leave or move on.
But I'll see you again
Anticipating a future meeting despite the departure.
When?
Rhetorical question, avoiding commitment to a specific time.
Oh, please don't ask me when
Request not to inquire about the timing of the return.
I'll call, I'll write
Commitment to communication through calls and letters.
But I can not stay here tonight
Stating the inability to stay overnight.
No, I can not stay here tonight
Reiteration of the inability to stay overnight.
I can't stay here tonight
Emphasis on the impossibility of staying overnight.
Light me up a cigarette
Action of lighting a cigarette, possibly a metaphor for preparing for departure.
And check that my bags are packed
Ensuring readiness to leave by checking packed bags.
Something I was gonna say
A thought or message that was meant to be expressed but remains unsaid.
It's gone, still another time
Emphasizing the passage of time and missed opportunities.
But how long till that other time?
Questioning the duration until the next opportunity or meeting.
I hate to go
Expressing reluctance to leave.
But I'll be back again
Assurance of a return despite the departure.
When?
Rhetorical avoidance of specifying the timing of the return.
Oh, please don't ask me when
Request not to inquire about the timing of the return.
I'll call, I'll write
Commitment to communication through calls and letters.
But I can not stay here tonight
Stating the inability to stay overnight.
No, I can not stay here tonight
Reiteration of the inability to stay overnight.
I can't stay here tonight
Emphasis on the impossibility of staying overnight.
Open up your tired eyes
Repetition of opening tired eyes and forcing a smile, suggesting resilience.
And force yourself to smile
Reiteration of the encouragement to maintain a positive demeanor.
Yesterday was yesterday
Recalling the insignificance of the past.
It's gone, it's tomorrow now
Reiteration of the shift from the past to the present and future.
It's here, it's tomorrow now
Emphasis on the immediacy of the present moment and the approaching future.
Now I must go
Restating the necessity to depart or move forward.
But I'll be back again
Assurance of a return despite the departure.
When?
Rhetorical question, avoiding commitment to a specific time.
Oh, please don't ask me when
Request not to inquire about the timing of the return.
I'll call, I'll write
Commitment to communication through calls and letters.
But I can not stay here tonight
Stating the inability to stay overnight.
No, I can not stay here tonight
Reiteration of the inability to stay overnight.
I can't stay here tonight
Emphasis on the impossibility of staying overnight.
