Transit Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
If you're too drunk to walk
Along the streets of cobblestone
You know Boston never drinks alone
Boston never drinks alone
I carried you into the house
You wrapped your arms around my neck
I guess they did, I guess they did
And that night we drove around
And we laughed and cried
And you cried a bit
I kept you until you slept
I walked down your steps
With no regrets
[Repeat x2]
If you're too drunk to walk
Along the streets of cobblestone
You know Boston never drinks alone
Boston never drinks alone
And we sing until the sun comes up
And we drink our glasses dry
Every skyline, every street sign
We don't stop risking our short time
Always working through the weekend
An uphill battle for a few good nights
Over and over again, young New England
Over and over again, young New England
We traded in our small towns
For those big city dreams
With your head up on my shoulder
And my heart under lock and key
Let's take the time to look around,
And forget what we missed
And I'll walk back up your steps
With no regrets
I got no regrets
[Repeat x2]
If you're too drunk to walk
Along the streets of cobblestone
You know Boston never drinks alone
Boston never drinks alone
And we sing until the sun comes up
And we drink our glasses dry
Every skyline, every street sign
We don't stop risking our short time
Always working through the weekend
An uphill battle for a few good nights
Over and over again, young New England
Over and over again, young New England
Sing until the sun comes up
Oh, young New England
Drink those glasses dry
Oh, young New England
Every skyline, every street sign
Oh, young New England
Don't stop risking your short time
Oh, young New England
And we sing until the sun comes up
And we drink our glasses dry
Every skyline, every street sign
We don't stop risking our short time
Always working through the weekend
An uphill battle for a few good nights
Over and over again, young New England
Over and over again, young New England
Over and over again, young New England
The chorus of Transit's song "Young New England" repeats the line "If you're too drunk to walk along the streets of cobblestone, you know Boston never drinks alone." This line suggests a solidarity between Bostonians, and the city itself. Boston is a city of cobbled streets and heavy drinking culture, and the song portrays the city as a place where no one ever has to drink alone. The first verse tells of the singer carrying his drunk partner home, and the night they spent together driving and laughing. The chorus repeats, emphasizing the idea that Boston is always there to drink with you, even if you're too drunk to walk.
The second verse speaks of the two protagonists' move from small towns to the big city to pursue their dreams, and how they've supported each other through it all. The line "let's take the time to look around, and forget what we missed" suggests that they are content with where they are now, even if they've missed out on other things in life. The final chorus repeats the sentiment that they will "sing until the sun comes up" and will continue to risk their short time.
Overall, "Young New England" celebrates the drinking culture and solidarity of Boston, and the idea of pursuing your dreams and being content where you are.
