Lyrics
Under the Laurel arch to keep from getting wet
Seeking shelter under the Laurel arch to avoid getting wet
Fake fur is matted now from sitting on the steps
Faux fur is now tangled from sitting on the steps
Pay-phone I couldn't hang up is gone now for a bank
A pay-phone I couldn't hang up is replaced by a bank
But I can stand in the lobby and feel just how I felt
Standing in the lobby, reminiscing and feeling the past
Well that's the thing that makes it right
Emphasizing a particular aspect that makes things right
Still calls to me from back then
Nostalgia calling from the past
God damn
An expression of frustration or surprise
Getting it wrong
Making mistakes
Partisan
Referring to a partisan, possibly implying a strong supporter of a particular cause
She looks on
Someone observing or witnessing
I could only watch her
Helplessly watching a person
Oh no
An expression of concern or realization
God damn
An exclamation of frustration or surprise
After a while she comes to put me to the test
A woman testing the speaker after a period of time
Alpha, beta, whatever, I'm gamma at the best
Identifying as a lesser or unconventional option (gamma)
Dose me with exes envy
Being exposed to past romantic interests and their envy
Forget what it was for
Forgetting the original purpose or meaning
And I won't need you to protect me anymore
Declaring independence from needing protection
Just 'cause I seem a little quiet
Appearing reserved or introverted
Don't offer me asylum
Rejecting offers of refuge or escape
God damn
An exclamation of frustration or surprise
Getting it wrong
Repeating the theme of making mistakes
Partisan
Referring to a partisan again, suggesting strong alignment with a cause
She looks on
Someone observing or witnessing
I could only watch her
Helplessly watching a person
Oh no
An expression of concern or realization
God damn
An exclamation of frustration or surprise
God damn
Repeating an exclamation of frustration or surprise
Getting it wrong
Repeating the theme of making mistakes
Partisan
Referring to a partisan once more
She looks on
Someone observing or witnessing
I could only watch her
Helplessly watching a person
Oh no
An expression of concern or realization
God damn
An exclamation of frustration or surprise
God damn
Repeating an exclamation of frustration or surprise
God damn
