This is based on a real person. Captain Jack was a drug dealer who lived near Joel in Oyster Bay, NY. Marijuana, heroin, cocaine, I'm sure he sold it all. |

| Tegan and Sara – Wake Up Exhausted Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
I feel like there was an intervening force in their relationship, something the narrator had control over. "We're alone and we're happy" making it more apparent that it was something outside of them, and then later in the song "I hate them". Beyond that, she's feeling some weight on her sPossiblyhoulders, guilt perhaps. In that she can't stand up straight. She feels tremendous remorse for her actions because it is the other that makees the city tolerable. In that same stanza we see the wedge that was driven between them "we're strangers, we're not friends." Indescretion would also warrent the hatred felt by the significant other and the inability to stop thinking about the narrator. It's a sad song. Because so often, even without some indescretion, this is the way relationships end up. |
