Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Gon’ wake me up at night
Ain’t got no use for sleeping anymore
Ain’t got enough time
For myself
Or time for my friends
And, and I can’t even write
Just wake me up, it’s fine
Let me go away, Hitch
Away from where we’ve grown
I’ve got dirty and d-- wandering
Through bars and
Foreign family homes
And I had never have cared
To be alone
Now I just wanna feel
How you would feel
Left at home
Hey Hitch, hey Hitch
I’m coming home
Hey Ma, hey Pa
I’m coming home
Hey J, hey Tree, hey Mel and Graeme*
I’m coming come
Hey Heath, hey Kris
I’m coming home
Well I seen many places
And they all been seen before
I done lost my Jack Luck spirit
I’m goin’ back to Hitch at home
The song "Months" by themiddleeast talks about the feeling of isolation and loneliness that arises from being away from one's loved ones for an extended period of time. The singer of the song is expressing a desire to be woken up in the morning and at night, as they do not want to waste any more time sleeping when there is so little time left to spend with their friends and loved ones. They express feeling disconnected from their loved ones, even though they long to feel their presence. The singer confesses to wandering aimlessly through bars and unfamiliar homes, but reveals that they would rather be at home and surrounded by their loved ones.
In the chorus, the singer expresses that they are looking forward to returning home, to Hitch, to be reunited with their family and friends. They name each person they are coming home to and reveal a longing to connect with them again. They mention having visited many places, but they feel that they have lost something important - their Jack Luck spirit. This could symbolize a sense of adventure or risk-taking that they feel they have lost as they have traveled and experienced the world.
Overall, "Months" is a poignant and emotional song about the importance of human connection and the feelings of loneliness and disconnection that arise in the absence of that connection.

Love this song... I remember reading something about the vocalist being disappointed with his performance, but this feels real and passionate and absolutely nothing to be disappointed with...

This was so special discovering this all these years ago. I was sad to see they split, and no more music. I've heard traces of them in bands like The Paper Kites, but that's a stretch. Wish they'd reform

By the time I found them they had split already! I love this song! I feel the baggage...
