Whenimma
Harry Hudson Lyrics

Another harvest moon
The singer is setting the scene; it is a peaceful autumn evening.

Fireflies laying on you
The singer is describing a romantic moment, perhaps lying next to someone who is covered in fireflies.

Lay you across my blanket
The singer is preparing for intimacy, laying out a blanket for them to lie on.

Truck bed big enough for two
The artist is suggesting that they are outdoors, and perhaps have a truck with a large bed to lie in.

The slightest touch can do
The artist is expressing how sensitive and tender the moment is; small gestures are enough to convey intimate feelings.

Something so new that I can't shake it
The singer is describing how novel and exciting this moment is, and they feel like they cannot move past it.

'Fore we run out of time and the whiskey runs dry
The singer is acknowledging that this experience has an end point and is finite, perhaps due to the passage of time or the running out of a shared drink.

I still find my way right back to you
The artist is expressing their commitment to the other person, and how their connection is resilient despite the passage of time.

And even with the dust in my eyes I can still see the signs
The artist is saying that despite difficulties, they can still see the good things that are happening and are grateful for them.

As I drive down this road made for two
The artist is associating their shared experience with a journey or a road, and is saying that it is built for two people.

I feel, I feel
The singer is expressing their emotional reaction to this experience.

Like I'm at home, like I'm at home
The artist is describing how comfortable and familiar they feel in this environment.

When I'mma, when I'm alone
The singer is introducing a contrast, saying that when they are alone, they feel something different.

You never seem to call
The singer is upset that when they are alone, the other person does not reach out to them.

Like I'mma, like I'm at home
The singer is saying that in this shared experience, they feel a sense of belonging and comfort.

You never fear I'm gone
The artist is saying that despite being alone, the other person doesn't worry about them leaving or disappearing.

'Cause I'mma, I'm at home
The artist is reinforcing the idea that they feel most comfortable in this shared experience, perhaps even more so than in their own home.

Hold my heart, keep me in a comatose state
The singer is expressing their vulnerability and dependence on the other person to keep them emotionally safe.

Got my flannel on, you're looking like my little Cobain
The singer is describing what they and perhaps the other person are wearing, and how they look like a famous musician who embodied emotional vulnerability.

Waded in the water after mating by the lake
The artist is recalling a physical moment of intimacy with the other person, perhaps by a lake or other natural setting.

Where they don't go, where the sun always stays
The artist is describing a place or a moment that is unique and precious, where there is always light and warmth.

Tell me lies, tell me lies
The artist is introducing a new idea: asking the other person to be dishonest with them.

All your dirty lies
The singer is acknowledging that they might not want to hear the truth, and are willing to accept deception.

Close your eyes, cut the ties
The artist is suggesting they want to disconnect from something or someone, and retreat or escape.

Who do you despise?
The singer is asking a provocative question, perhaps to evoke a sense of tension or drama.

Pigeons fly, people die
The singer is making a random observation, perhaps to illustrate the unpredictability of the world around them.

I don't question that
The singer is saying that they accept the reality of the world, and are not surprised by its erratic nature.

I fall asleep, I fall asleep
The artist is repeating themselves, perhaps conveying a sense of resignation or weariness.

Who am I? Who am I?
The artist is asking another provocative question, but this time turning it inward and reflecting on their own identity or purpose.

I'll let you decide
The singer is relinquishing control, perhaps of the conversation or a situation more broadly.

Let me slide, pick a time
The singer is suggesting that they want to avoid confrontation or tension, and are willing to be flexible or acquiesce.

Fall back with the tide
The artist is again invoking natural imagery, and perhaps suggesting that they want to retreat or move with the flow of events.

Come inside, cut the lights
The artist is introducing a new setting or context, perhaps a more intimate or private one, where they are signaling a desire for physical intimacy.

Let's live in the night
The artist is expressing a desire to live in the moment and stay up late, perhaps enjoying each other's company or engaging in other activities.

And fall asleep, you'll fall for me
The singer is suggesting that their partner will fall even more deeply in love with them if they stay the night or fall asleep together.

Ya llegué a casa, no hay más que darte ya
The artist is concluding the song with a phrase in Spanish, meaning 'I arrived home, there's nothing more to give you now.' It could suggest acceptance, closure, or a finality to the shared experience.
