The Plan
Jasper Brown Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Take a little time to talk
Don't you worry, you've got nothing to fear
We'll be walking in the rain
Help wash away the pain
Make a plan, to get outside of here
'Cause I'm tired of this one horse town
We've been hanging around
We deserve much better than this
And I, I'm not a man of
But believe me honey
If a dream is all it takes
Then I can take us away from here
So baby what do you say?
Don't you tell me that you wanna stay
Don't worry, you've got nothing to fear
Have a little faith in me
And together we can build our dreams
I've got a plan, to get outside of here
'Cause I'm tired of us hanging around
this little dirty one horse town
Images of the bliss
We deserve much better than this
And I, I've been down to the bottom
Of this whiskey bottle
I couldn't catch the pain of this place
We've got to find a way out of here
'Cause I'm tired of us hanging around
this little dirty one horse town
Images of the bliss
We deserve much better than this
And I, I've been down to the bottom
Of this whiskey bottle
I couldn't catch the pain of this place
We've got to find a way out of
'Cause I'm tired of this one horse town
We've been hanging around
Ignorance to the bliss
We deserve much better than this
And I, I'm not a man of
Oh, but believe me honey
If a dream is all it takes
Then I can take us away from here
I'm not a wicked man
Don't care if they understand
I've got to chase my dreams
And I'm not a hollow man
But I'll do the best I can
If you just have some faith in me
And I'm not an evil man
I'm just a simple man
I'm trying to do the best I can
But I think I've got a plan
And I'm not a hollow man
I'm just a simple man
Do you think you'd understand?
But I think I've got a plan
'Cause I'm just a simple man
In Jasper Brown's song "The Plan", the lyrics are about a man's desire to leave his small town with his lover and start a new life. He suggests taking a walk in the rain to wash away the pain and build a new plan. He assures his lover that there's nothing to fear and that he's got a plan to leave the one horse town where they've been living. He's tired of the ignorance and images of bliss and deserves much better than this. He wants his lover to believe in him and have faith that together, they can build their dreams.
The song seems like it could be autobiographical, or at least based on the artist's own experiences. The lyrics are simple and straightforward, but they express a deep desire for something more in life. The tone of the song is hopeful and optimistic, despite the references to whiskey and pain. It's a song about taking a chance and pursuing your dreams, even if it means leaving everything you know behind.
