Think
Reddy Lyrics

Smoggy day in L.A.
The day is filled with smog and pollution, likely causing discomfort or negative impact on the environment and people living in L.A.

Think I’ll write a song
The singer decides to write a song, likely as a creative outlet and to express their thoughts or emotions.

Know exactly what to say
The singer has a clear idea in their mind of what they want to communicate through their song.

Shouldn’t take too long
The artist anticipates that the process of writing the song will not be very time-consuming.

First I’d better clear my head
The artist recognizes the need to get rid of any distraction or disturbance in their mind before they begin writing the song.

Feed the baby, make the bed
The singer has other responsibilities they need to attend to before they can start writing the song.

Should eat breakfast but instead
The singer is skipping their morning meal, possibly due to a lack of time or as an attempt to prioritize writing the song.

Did I hear the doorbell?
The artist is distracted by a possible sound of someone ringing their doorbell.

Just as I sat down
The artist has just begun to settle down to write the song when they are interrupted.

Time to say a farewell
A friend or acquaintance is leaving town, indicating a break or change in the artist's routine.

Someone’s leaving town
The singer is bidding farewell to someone who is departing.

God be in your heart, my friend
The artist is expressing their well-wishes to their leaving friend, hoping that they will be guided by faith and good feelings.

Glad to see you’re on the mend

Hate to bring this to an end but
Although the singer is enjoying their conversation with their friend, they need to go back to their work of writing the song.

Thought I’d write a song
The singer reaffirms their intention to write a song.

La la la la la
The artist is humming or singing a melody as they work on the song.

The melody keeps running through my head
The artist is having a persistent tune in their mind that they want to use in their songwriting process.

The kind of song you sing alone
The singer envisions their newly written song as a personal one that would be suitable for singing solo.

Foggy day in L.A.
The singer repeats the imagery of smog and pollution, suggesting that the same tone of environmental negativity and mood continues throughout the day.

Now I hear the telephone
The artist is interrupted by the sound of the telephone ringing.

Guess another morning’s blown
The artist is disappointed that their attempt to use the morning for songwriting has been thwarted again by another interruption.

Seems my time is not my own

Tried to write a song
The singer reflects on the fact that they have made several efforts to write the song, but have been unable to do so in a satisfactory way.
