Lyrics
I'm sitting on the grass in my garden
I am currently seated on the grass in my garden.
And listening for noises around me
I am actively listening for sounds in my surroundings.
I hear a soundtrack to a movie that I don't know
I can hear a soundtrack playing, reminiscent of a movie I am unfamiliar with.
From my neighbors' window
This soundtrack is emanating from my neighbors' window.
They've turned it off, I guess I was boring
My neighbors have turned off the soundtrack, possibly finding my presence boring.
And so, I sit here and listen to nothing
Now, I am sitting here in silence, hearing nothing.
Every evening has been like this lately
Recent evenings have been consistently like this.
Lately
Emphasis on the current time frame - "lately."
Can someone come sit next to me
I am expressing a desire for someone to join me.
We could look at the sky
Suggesting a shared activity of looking at the sky together.
This feels better don't you agree?
Indicating that this shared experience feels better.
Will you stay for a while?
Inviting the person to stay for a while.
Can someone come sit next to me

We could look at the sky

This feels better don't you agree?
Restating that this shared experience is preferable.
Will you stay for a while?
Once again, inviting the person to stay for a while.
I haven't heard your voice in a week now

And life, it just goes on I don't know how

Oh, the loss of you it makes me loose myself
Conveying the profound impact of losing the person on the speaker's identity.
I haven't got anyone else
Highlighting the absence of alternative companionship.
It's getting darker now by the minute
Describing the gradual darkening of the environment.
But it doesn't feel as cold when you're in it
Suggesting that the coldness is diminished when the mentioned person is present.
I try to lay down, turn around what now?
Contemplating lying down and questioning the current situation.
