Lyrics
Don't stay, don't stay
Expressing a desire for the person not to stay.
Dont stay away too long
Advising against staying away for an extended period.
Don't stray, dont stray,
Encouraging not to deviate or wander.
Don't stray too far from home
Cautioning against going too far from home.
It's mid-july, you'll be out by the fall
Setting a time frame (mid-July) and suggesting departure by fall.
You've got me worried now,
Expressing concern or anxiety about the person's actions.
That you won't come back at all
Concern that the person might not return.
So this is how it goes,
Beginning to describe the unfolding situation.
At least that's what I'm told.
Reflecting on the information received or known.
I'm not all that I seem,
Admitting that there is more to the person than meets the eye.
Is there someone else you'd rather see than me?
Questioning if there is someone else the person prefers.
Keep down, keep down
Encouraging to keep a low profile or remain quiet.
Words keep falling from your mouth
Noticing that words are spoken, possibly revealing information.
Sleep now, sleep now
Suggesting the person should rest or sleep.
The truth is such an awful sound
Highlighting that the truth can be distressing or unpleasant.
It'd mid-july, you'll be out by the fall
Reiterating the timeframe and expressing worry about departure.
You've got me worried now,
Reiterating concern about the person's potential non-return.
That you won't come back at all
(No specific information in this line)
So this is how it goes,
Repeating the phrase "So this is how it goes," indicating resignation or acceptance.
At least that's what I'm told
Reiterating the acceptance of the unfolding situation.
I'm not all that I seem,
Reiterating that the person is not entirely transparent or genuine.
Is there someone else you'd rather see than me?
Pondering if there is someone else preferred over the speaker.
