Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
Oh, I've been working all week and I'm tired.
I've been working all week and I'm... just living for the weekend.
Hey hey, I got some money, I just got paid, got some money and I can't wait for 6 O'Clock,
I'm outta' heeeere
End of the night there's a club and a glass got my name on.
Run down my street I have glass in my feet, I can't fight it........
I did overtime, working is such a bind, got some money to spend, living for the weekend,
When it gets too much, I live for the rush, got some money to spend, living for the weekend!
Man! Yeah, I've been working all week and I'm shot, yeah, I've been working all week for what?
Just living for the weekend.
Ahhh. Shit. Saw my girl and I had a fit. Saw my neighbours and all it is...
No she can't come in, she caught her voice.
Slip round the back, at the back there's a place where there's a window.
Drop to the floor, can't risk eyes through the door, I got a family.....
I did overtime, working is such a bind, got some money to spend, living for the weekend,
When it gets too much, I live for the rush, got some money to spend, living for the weekend!
Can you feel it? Feel the pressure? Rising?
