| Yo La Tengo – Big Day Coming Lyrics | 9 years ago |
|
Let's be undecided, let's take our time And sooner or later, we will know our mind We'll be on the outside, we won't care Cause we're together, that's somewhere (about not caring about social pressure to label yourself something; about trusting each other enough to explore the relationship without a label all that matters is that you are with the person, in some form or another also, being in your own little, special world, away from everyone and everything else; your own little space) And there's a big day coming, about a mile away There's a big day coming, I can hardly wait (I used to interpret this as the day I would see my ex, as it was a long distance relationship) (It can also mean in general, the next time you’ll see the person) Let's wake up the neighbors, let's turn up our amps And we know we're used to without a plan We can play a Stones song, sitting on a fence And it'll sound pretty good, til I forget how it ends (I love these lines, reminds me of spontaneity, being yourself, common interests) And there's a big day coming, about a mile away There's a big day coming, I can hardly wait I woke up early, couldn't go back to sleep Cause I had been thinking of where it all would lead So I made you wake up, I said, "Let's take a walk, I wanna hold your hand, we don't have to talk" (the excitement of a new relationship and all those beautiful feelings that come along with it. his voice sounds so sweet during the “Cause I had been thinking…” line Absolutely love the last line. It’s about just being with someone and how special you can feel simply holding someone’s hands when the feelings are sincere and intense.) And there's a big day coming, about a mile away There's a big day coming, I can hardly wait I can hardly wait (this last time those lines are repeated, it seems the person is secretly imagining or cautiously hoping for not just a big day ahead, but years of being together ahead) |
