My Junk
John Gallagher Jr. & Boys Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Still, there's this one thing: just to see you go by
It's almost like lovin', sad as that is
May not be cool, but it's so where I live
It's like I'm your lover, or more like your ghost—
I spend the day wonderin' what you do, where you go
I try and just kick it, but then what can I do?
We've all got our junk, and my junk is you
See us winter walkin' after a storm
It's chill in the wind, but it's warm in your arms
We stop, all snow-blind, may not be true
We've all got our junk, and my junk is you
Well you'll have to excuse me, I know it's so off
I love when you do stuff that's rude and so wrong
I go up to my room, turn the stereo on
Shoot up some you, and the "you" is some song
(I lie back) I lie back, just driftin' (Driftin')
And play out these scenes (These scenes)
I ride on the rush (The rush)
All the hopes, all the dreams (The dreams)
I may be neglectin' the things I should do
We've all got our junk, and my junk is you
See, we still keep talkin' after you're gone
You're still with me then, feels so good in my arms
They say you go blind, maybe it's true
We've all got our junk, and my junk is you
Oh, it's like we stop time, what can I do?
We've all got our junk, and my junk is you
My junk is you
You, you, you
The lyrics to John Gallagher Jr. & Boys' song "My Junk" express the intense infatuation and obsession that one person feels towards another. The singer describes how even though their life may feel empty and lacking, seeing the object of their affection is enough to make their day. This feeling, however, is tinged with sadness as the singer acknowledges that their love is almost pathetic in nature. The lyrics go on to describe the singer's constant thoughts about the other person, wondering about their whereabouts and what they do. They compare themselves to a ghost, invisible but still present in their thoughts. The singer admits to neglecting their duties and responsibilities in favor of daydreaming about the other person, their "junk."
The lyrics use vivid imagery to paint a picture of the two individuals, walking together in the winter after a snowstorm. The singer feels warm in the other's arms despite the chill in the air. They describe their love as something that is "so off" but irresistible nonetheless. The singer confesses to using music and drugs to fuel their fantasies about the other person. The song ends with the realization that everyone has their own kind of "junk" that they have to deal with, and for the singer, their "junk" is their love for this person.
Line by Line Meaning
In the midst of this nothing, this miss of a life
Despite feeling like life is empty and lacking, there is one thing that brings joy - seeing you pass by
It's almost like lovin', sad as that is
Although it may be sad, the feeling of seeing you is almost like being in love
May not be cool, but it's so where I live
It may not be considered cool, but this feeling is a part of my reality
It's like I'm your lover, or more like your ghost—
The feeling is like being a ghost who spends the day wandering and wondering where you go and what you do, sometimes feeling like a lover
I try and just kick it, but then what can I do?
I try to ignore it, but it is difficult to let go of this feeling
We've all got our junk, and my junk is you
Everyone has their own problems and issues, and in my case, it's this feeling towards you
See us winter walkin' after a storm
Imagining walking with you in winter after a storm
We stop, all snow-blind, may not be true
Visualizing being blinded by the snow and stopping to be with you, even if it's not realistic
Well you'll have to excuse me, I know it's so off
Apologizing for the strange behavior of being attracted to what's considered rude and wrong
I go up to my room, turn the stereo on
Going back to my room to listen to music and escape
I may be neglectin' the things I should do
Admitting to possibly neglecting responsibilities due to this feeling
See, we still keep talkin' after you're gone
Continuing to have conversations with you in my mind after you leave
They say you go blind, maybe it's true
Describing the idea that being so in love can lead to blindness, both literally and metaphorically
Oh, it's like we stop time, what can I do?
Feeling as if time has stopped when around you, unable to control or change the feeling
My junk is you
This feeling towards you is my personal junk or issue
