Wilco - Hate it Here [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Verse 1]
I try to stay busy
I do the dishes, I mow the lawn
I try to keep myself occupied
Even though I know you're not coming home
I try to keep the house nice and neat
I make my bed I change the sheets
I even learned how to use the washing machine
But keeping things clean doesn't change anything
What am I going to do when I run out of shirts to fold?
What am I going to do when I run out of lawn to mow?
What am I going to do if you never come home?
Tell me, what am I gonna do?

[Chorus]
I hate it
I hate it here
When you're gone

[Verse 2]
I caught myself thinking
I caught myself thinking once again
Have to try to keep my mind out of this
Try not to pretend
I'll check the phone
I'll check the mail
I'll check the phone again and I call your mom
She says you're not there and I should take care

[Chorus][x2]

[Outro]
I try to stay busy
I take out the trash, I sweep the floor
Try to keep myself occupied
Because I know you don't live here anymore
