Got nothing good to say today

I guess I'm just gonna say it anyway

The day was so long

So long
The day was so long

So long





So long my love

Overall Meaning

The songwriter is expressing a feeling of exhaustion and frustration, as if they've had a long and difficult day. Despite not having anything particularly positive to say, they feel the need to speak up anyway. Perhaps they are looking for some kind of release or catharsis through sharing their thoughts, even if they aren't particularly constructive or helpful. The repetition of "so long" emphasizes the length and weariness of the day, as if it's been dragging on forever. The final line "so long my love" could be interpreted as a farewell or goodbye to someone who is dear to them, indicating that the day has felt particularly challenging and draining.


Overall, the lyrics seem to capture a sense of emotional fatigue and the need to express oneself, even if there isn't necessarily a clear message to convey. It's possible that the songwriter is feeling overwhelmed or burdened, and is using music as a way to cope with those feelings.
