"I dont feel as if I know you, you'll take up all my time"
He's seeing himself, and he's bored and not impressed.
"The days are long and the night will throw you away
Coz the sun don't shine"
-Nights are long and dreary, cause no sun in the day time to cheer you up
"Nobody ever mentions the weather can make or break your day
Nobody ever seems to remember life is a game we play "
You are not in control of everything, life is unpredictable and can change how you see things. If life is unpredictable and meaningless, then just play along.
"We live in the shadows and we had the chance and threw it away"
We're not living up to our potential, we had the chance but blew it.
"And it's never gonna be the same
Cos the years are following by like the rain
And it's never gonna be the same
'Til the life I knew comes to my house and says
Hello "
Thinking about the years passing and the time he 'had it', but eventually the old life will come back and say 'hello'
"There ain't no sense in feeling lonely
They got no faith in you
But I've got a feeling you still owe me
So wipe the shit from your shoes"
-forget your 'friends', but you got an obligation to your self, so clean your shoes and get your act together, and embrace your old vitality and spirit when it comes knocking on your door and says HELLO!
