What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
Someone right now is leaving their apartment
2
Looking down at the street and wondering where their car went
3
Someone in a car is sitting at a signal
4
In front of a restaurant staring through the window at
5
Someone right now with their finger in their teeth
6
Who could use a little floss, right across the street
7
There's somebody on the curb who really needs a jacket
8
But spent half the rent at a bar getting plastered
9
Now he's gotta walk fourteen blocks
10
Just to work at a shop where he's about to get fired
11
Someone right now is looking pretty tired
12
Staring at a laptop trying to get inspired
13
As somebody living right across the street
14
Just wrote the best thing that she's written all week
15
But her best friend's coughing up blood in the sink
16
He can't even think what happened, feeling so confused
17
And he knows it looks bad but nothing he can do
18
I wonder what it's like to be right there in his shoes but...
19
Yo, I'm just taking it in
20
Out the window of a hotel bedroom again
21
Tomorrow I'll be gone, I don't know when I'll be back
22
But in this world everything can change just like that...
23
Somebody right now is dropping his vote
24
Inside a box trying to not get shot in his throat
25
For the act of freedom, right now somebody's stuck in Iraq
26
Hoping that he gets shipped back breathing
27
In a war but he's not really sure the reasons
28
So we show our support when the press mislead him
29
Though we mourn, remain proud, salute the troops
30
Get some, I know you boys got some work to do
31
Meanwhile, right now someone's 25-to-life-ing
32
Standing on a corner with their thumb up hitchhiking
33
Scratching off a lotto ticket hoping for a real winner
34
Sneaking through the border just to work and eat a real dinner
35
Right now someone wishes they were you and I
36
Instead of second-guessing fatal thoughts of quiet suicide
37
But right now I'm staring out the window at a fiend
38
With holes in his arm and holes in his jeans
39
He pulled out a cigarette and sparked a light
40
And walked right around the corner just out of my sight but...
41
I'm just taking it in
42
From a second storey hotel window again
43
The TV's on and my bags are packed
44
But in this world everything can change just like that
45
Yeah, right now somebody's sittin' in the darkness
46
Tryin' to figure how to put some heat in their apartment
47
But they got a little mattress, little carpet
48
And they appreciate it 'cause some people on a park bench
49
You see 'em rushing to get to the office
50
Wife ride by 'em when she up from the market
51
Right now somebody comin' out the pocket
52
Tryin' to dump that rock they runnin' round the block with
53
Same time the cops is raisin' the glock
54
With aim to fill your legs and your back with some hot shit
55
Right now somebody's struggling to stop this man
56
That's kicking and punching and cussing at the doctors
57
Down the hall a child is takin' its first breath
58
The doctors ain't even passed him to the nurse yet
59
Yo, I wonder of he understand what it's worth yet
60
Life, the time spent while we here on the earth yet
61
The answers to the questions we all seek
62
Can be found, it depend on how free y'all think
63
Right now, it's somebody who ain't eat all week
64
That would kill for the shit you throw away in the street
65
I guess one man's trash is a next man's treasure
66
One man's pain is a next man's pleasure
67
One says infinity the next say forever
68
Right now everybody got to get it together man
69
I'm just taking it in
70
In another strange hotel lobby again
71
With my luggage on my back, I don't know where I'm at
72
I'm in a world where it all changes just like that
73
Like that
74
Yo, I'm just taking it in
75
Out the window of a hotel bedroom again
76
Tomorrow I'll be gone, I don't know when I'll be back
77
But in this world everything can change just like that
