Slow Jabroni Lyrics

I'm still waiting for the day. Georgia, Georgia.
I'm still waiting for the day. Georgia, Georgia.

I'm not going home tonight; I've worked up some appetite.
I'm still (just) waiting for the day. Georgia, Georgia.
Bridge is gonna' burn soon; guitars ring out in living rooms.
I just need one special word: Georgia.

Went to her apartment. Man you should've seen the look on her face.
Some of us like to stay up late, but I am still so wide awake.
I don't wanna' catch my breath or fall asleep in your caress.
I'm still waiting for the day. Georgia, Georgia.

You better take some time to figure it out
'cause if you don't you're gonna' do without.
Take some time to figure it out
'cause if you don't you're gonna' do without.
Take some time to figure it out
'cause if you don't you're gonna' do without.
Take some time to figure it out
'cause if you don't you're gonna' do without.

If I knew you'd guard your heart so jealously,
Then I might feel: there's nothing in this joyless world to see.
There are no praises that are left to sing, there's just a wilderness of shame.
If I knew you'd push away so savagely, then I'd back off

So, take it easy on me
Take it easy on me
Take it easy on me
Take it easy on me

They lumped up into the same boat, sinking on the same ship,
Gasping with the same breath they chatter with the same mouth.
Whatever's deep inside me erupt from me entirely. Thaw me out completely.
And I knew somehow I'd find you there, and I hoped you'd be real.

I'm pretty sure its "i've worked up some appetite." not "i fucked up some appetite."

the song to me is about this guy trying to reach the girl.

I love this song, and it's one of my favorites off of the album. I really appreciate the build up to the second half.

The following lyrics are correct, straight from the inner album cover:

Lyric Correction

i thought it was "some of just like to stay up late" and i thought the last few words were "you'd be with me"

nevertheless, this and anchorage are the best two songs on the album.

re: "this and anchorage are the best two songs on the album."

This song and Anchorage share something really powerful. In this song it happens at about 3:23 and in Anchorage it happens at 2:58 (and then completing at 3:28).

In both songs, a musical and lyrical foundation is established, and then the song moves to a whole new landscape. The transitions work both musically and in terms of the lyrics... the songs are coherent, yet they move definitively forward. I guess this is the "arc" that people talk about with Surfer Blood's music. I get it. I like it....
