Lyrics
Don't go
Expressing a desire for the person not to leave.
Because it's only just the afternoon
Highlighting that it's still early in the day.
And I'm not done making fun of you yet
Playfully teasing or mocking the other person.
And who knows
Pondering the uncertainty of the other person's intentions.
If you're interested in passing time
Suggesting spending time together casually.
We can walk down to the borderline and fret
Proposing a walk to a boundary, perhaps metaphorical, with a sense of worry.
But I've only got
Stating a financial constraint with only six dollars.
Six dollars in my pocket
Emphasizing limited resources.
Nothing left to my name
Expressing a state of financial scarcity.
You're sizing me up just to get hurt again
Warning about potential emotional pain despite the circumstances.
Six dollars in my wallet
Reiterating the limited financial situation.
Walking on without shame
Moving forward without embarrassment despite financial constraints.
You never know
Acknowledging uncertainty about the future.
I never know when I'll be back again
Expressing uncertainty about the next meeting.
If we can work this out, I know
Expressing hope to resolve issues and make the distance seem shorter.
Those miles won't seem so far to row
Believing that overcoming challenges will make the distance more manageable.
Wait up now, I'm gonna come home soon
Expressing a commitment to returning home soon.
Way uptown, but I'll roll right back to you
Despite being far away, expressing the intention to return.
Come close, my dear
Inviting the person to come closer.
I didn't even mention it was mostly clear
Noting that the situation is mostly clear or transparent.
The things you thought you'd mention
Referring to unspoken thoughts during intimate moments.
When you whispered in my ear
Recalling whispered words and their impact.
And I fell straight down to the ground
Describing a swift emotional fall.
(As soon as I fall apart for you)
(Expressing vulnerability or emotional breakdown)
But I know better, I've seen this all before
Claiming to have experienced similar situations before.
I've written every letter and I've read them door to door
Having a history of writing and reading letters about such experiences.
But sometimes I finally find the taste of glue
Describing a moment of realization or understanding.
As soon as I fall apart for you
(Expressing vulnerability or emotional breakdown)
If we can work this out, I know
Repeating the hope for resolution and overcoming distance.
Those miles won't seem so far to row
Reiterating the idea that challenges can be overcome.
Wait up now, I'm gonna come home soon
Restating the intention to return home soon.
Way uptown, but I'll roll right back to you
Despite being far away, expressing the intention to return.
(Don't waste my time...the finish line...don't waste my time...
Expressing frustration with time and distance.
That drive takes time...oh...)
(No specific lyrics on this line)
Oh, that drive takes time
Highlighting the time required for a journey.
But meet me at the finish line
Encouraging a meeting at the end of the journey.
And oh, don't waste more time
Advising against wasting more time.
Just pour me one last glass of wine
Symbolizing a desire for a final, meaningful moment.
