Jr. Woodchuck Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

If we borrow words
They'll have to be returned
Keeping them would surely be remiss
The stars have acquiesced
By giving us this night
Let's just kiss

Intellect and thought

Are good enough for some
Why waste time with all there is to miss
In our quiet space
We'll babysit the moon
Let's just kiss

Nothing to erase
As the hour slows
Nothing to be judged or tried untrue
Handed us a case
What a case to close
It could take all night before we do

We won't have to try
Somehow we'll just know
A thousand years before us led to this
When we're finally through

We'll usher in the sun
Let's just kiss

Overall Meaning

The Jr. Woodchuck's song "Let's Just Kiss", talks about the beauty of the present moment and the importance of enjoying it. The opening line "If we borrow words, They'll have to be returned" hints that nothing in life is permanent, and any pleasure or happiness borrowed needs to be returned at some point in time. The song emphasizes living in the present moment, being mindful of the things around and cherishing it, creating a memory that will last a lifetime. Instead of thinking about intellect and thought, the song suggests enjoying life's simple pleasures, like gazing at the stars, babysitting the moon, and kissing.

The song captivates the importance of taking things slow, free from judgment and criticism, as presented in the line "Nothing to be judged or tried untrue". The song implies that the given moment is a gift presented to be enjoyed and appreciated. The moon, stars, and sun presented in the song signify the passing of time and how every moment should be cherished because it may not come back again. The use of the phrase "It could take all night before we do" in the song implies that we should slow down and take our time to appreciate the moment.

If we borrow words
When we use the words of others

They'll have to be returned
We must give them back eventually

Keeping them would surely be remiss
It would be wrong to hold onto them forever

The stars have acquiesced
The stars have agreed to our romantic moment

By giving us this night
By providing us with this opportunity

Let's just kiss
Let's enjoy this moment and kiss

Intellect and thought
The power of the mind

Are good enough for some
Some people find this enough in life

Why waste time with all there is to miss
Why miss out on everything else in life

In our quiet space
In this peaceful moment

We'll babysit the moon
We'll watch over the moon together
