Lyrics
On the pavement, I stop
Stopping on the pavement, a moment of pause or reflection.
And wave back to your mom
Acknowledging and greeting the person's mother.
She's pacing in the hall
Describing the mother pacing anxiously in a hallway.
And making a call
Indicating the mother is engaged in a phone call, possibly concerning the person.
I want to make you proud
Expressing a desire to earn approval or admiration.
The smile on your mouth
Focusing on the happiness reflected in the person's smile.
Forget the other stuff
Suggesting the importance of disregarding other issues and staying resilient.
And be real tough
Emphasizing the need to be strong and authentic.
Oh no, not again
Expressing a sense of frustration or disappointment, possibly a recurring theme.
I heard the whole thing, my friend
Having knowledge of a situation or conversation, possibly a conflict.
And now it cuts so deep
Feeling a profound emotional impact from the situation, suggesting pain.
To feel some ugly relief
Experiencing an odd sense of relief despite the emotional pain.
I want to make you proud
Reiterating the desire to gain the person's approval.
On top of the frozen ground
Describing a desire to achieve success, even on challenging or frozen ground.
Feel warm under the tree
Expressing warmth under a tree, possibly a metaphor for finding comfort or solace.
Look up and start to freeze
Observing surroundings and experiencing a sudden change or realization.
I've been here too long
Feeling a sense of prolonged presence or stagnation in a particular situation.
I've been here too long
Reiterating the feeling of being in a situation for an extended duration.
