What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
I went down to the gas station
2
for no particular reason
3
Heard the screams from the high school
4
It's football season
5
Empty lot the station faces
6
Will probably be there forever
7
I climbed over the four foot fence
8
I was trying to sever the tether
9
Moon in the sky
10
Cold as a stone
11
Spend each night in your arms
12
Always wake up alone
13
I lay down in the weeds
14
It was a real cold night
15
I was happy 'til the overnight attendant
16
Switched on the floodlight
17
Walking home I was talking to you under my breath
18
Saying things I would never say directly
19
I heard a siren on the highway up ahead
20
Kinda wished they'd come and get me
21
Frost on the sidewalk
22
White as a bone
23
Tried to get close to you again
24
Always wake up alone
25
And as I was crossing our doorstep
26
I hesitated just a moment there
27
Remembered the day we moved in to our small house
28
'til the vision got too vivid to bear
29
You were almost asleep
30
Halfway undressed
31
I lay right down next to you
32
held your head against my chest
33
And a guy with any kind of courage
34
would maybe stop to think the matter through
35
Maybe hold you still and raise the question
36
Instead of blindly holding onto you
37
But we crank up the heat
38
And you giggle and moan
39
Spend all night in the company of ghosts
40
Aways wake up alone
