Jane
The Work Lyrics

I've been so lonely she can't understand the way I feel
Despite being surrounded by people, I cannot shake this feeling of loneliness, and I don't think she understands how I feel.

I'm holding on, I'm walking home alone
Despite feeling alone, I am still fighting to hold on to the hope that we can be together, even if I have to walk the streets alone.

I'm here without her
Despite my desire to be with her, I am here alone without her by my side.

It seems that all the boys appreciate her
It appears that all the guys around me can see her value and appreciate her for who she is.

All the girls speak highly of her energy
Even the girls around me acknowledge her positive energy and impact on those around her.

D' you think that it could work for Jane and me
Despite the challenges I've faced, I still hold out hope that we could work together in a relationship.

'Cos I still want her, I still remember summer
Even after all this time, I am still hung up on her and can't forget the memories of our time together during the summer.

Way back when, we both felt the same
During that time in the past, we were both on the same page and shared a connection that I have been unable to replicate with anyone else.

And I still love her, I can't stop thinking of her
My love for her has not faded, and my thoughts are still consumed by her.

I'm having trouble understanding Jane
Despite my feelings for her, I still struggle to understand her and make sense of our relationship.

One by one my marbles left me
Over time, I have lost my grip on reality and become increasingly unstable.

Jane would smile but never hold me
While Jane may have shown me kindness or even flirted with me, she has never committed to anything more than that.

One night at the pool hall
During a night out at the pool hall, I worked up the courage to ask her to do something, anything, to show me that she cared.

Asked her if she'd hold my cue
In a clumsy and indirect way, I asked her if she'd hold my cue in a small gesture of affection.

Can't impress her with no fancy car
Despite my best efforts to show off or display wealth, I know that Jane values something deeper and more meaningful in a partner.

Resigned to lean here at the bar
Given the current situation and my inability to win over Jane, I have accepted my position in life and remain stagnant and unmotivated.

I'll lose my mind
Without her, I feel as though I am slowly losing my grip on my sanity and my sense of self.

Shiver in responsibility
The weight of responsibility for my own life and actions feels overwhelming, causing me to shiver with fear and anxiety.
