Lyrics
Turn another channel over
Expressing a desire to change the subject or shift focus.
But what is there left to see
Questioning the remaining interesting or meaningful things to observe.
Baby I'm a rock & roll-er
Identifying oneself as a rock & roll enthusiast.
So what is your ecstasy
Asking about the listener's source of joy or fulfillment.
"When I get a little bit older"
Reflecting on the anticipation of aging.
To "Will you be home tonight"
Inquiring about the listener's availability tonight.
Come rest your head on my shoulder
Inviting the listener to find comfort in the speaker's presence.
Make me think it will be alright
Expressing a hope that everything will be okay.
Talk it out because you missed the moment
Suggesting the importance of discussing missed opportunities.
"I thought...I just want it back"
Recalling a desire to reclaim something lost.
Did you pick or were you chosen
Posing a question about the listener's choices.
To take it off of the stack
Asking if the listener removed something from a pile or collection.
Now
Transitioning to the present moment.
We're a little bit older
Noting the passage of time and aging.
But you aren't here tonight
Expressing the absence of the listener tonight.
Another day
Acknowledging another day and the routine pursuit of income.
Another dollar
Expressing a simple hope for things to be okay.
I just hope it will be alright
Encouraging the listener to return home.
Won't you come back home
Repeating the desire for the listener to come back home.
I'll be waiting for you
Stating the speaker's readiness and anticipation for the listener's return.
I've been all alone
Expressing the speaker's loneliness in the absence of the listener.
Without you
Reiterating the loneliness experienced without the listener.
Won't you come back home
Repeating the invitation for the listener to come back home.
Think twice
Advising the listener to reconsider or think twice.
No
Denying a straightforward answer or agreement.
Another year is over
Reflecting on the passage of another year.
I wish you could see me now
Expressing a wish for the listener to witness the speaker's current state.
Yes I'm still a rock & roll-er
Affirming the speaker's continued identity as a rock & roll enthusiast.
But I don't have life "figured out"
Admitting uncertainty about having life fully understood.
If you could tell me something
Expressing a desire for the listener to provide information or guidance.
If you could be here tonight
Yearning for the listener's presence tonight.
Was it all for nothing
Questioning the purpose or meaning of past actions.
Please tell me it will be alright
Pleading for reassurance that things will be okay.
Won't you come back home
Repeating the plea for the listener to come back home.
I'll be waiting for you
Reiterating the speaker's readiness and anticipation for the listener's return.
I've been all alone
Expressing the continued loneliness without the listener.
Without you
Repeating the desire for the listener to come back home.
Won't you come back home
Reiterating the plea for the listener to return home.
