Joe Pug - In the Meantime [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

I'm savin' all my nickels
And half of every dime
I'm washin' all the blankets
God knows that I'm tryin'
I fixed the gate

We will find each other so they say
In the meantime
I'm lonesome while I wait

I'm lyin' to my family
Of who I'm thinkin' about
I had another woman
Somehow she found out
She always knew

We'll be honest with each other, me and you
In the meantime
I'll break a heart or two

Now I'm sellin' saws and hammers
For half of what they're worth
I'm dreamin' for a living
I got no time for work
It's gettin' hard

One day we will never be apart
In the meantime
I'm wonderin' where you are

Now I'm burnin' sheets of plywood
I pried up off the floor
The house is out of lumber
At least for now I'm warm
For now I'm warm

We'll be warm beneath the Carolina moon
In the meantime
I should find another room

I'm drinkin' from the faucet
I'm lucky when I sleep
I'm sleepin' in the closet
I'm scared of the police
What should I do?

One day you will be my reason too
In the meantime
I'll just be passing through
