This song directly connects to the second song from their sophomore album, Becky.
In this song, the narration is taken by Becky and directed towards Jeff.
The song is relatively straight foward, as Becky pleads for Jeff to spend time with her.
[Hey, I just wanted to tell you I’ve had that dream again where my teeth fall out of my mouth and form a mosaic on the floor.]
Hey, Jeff, can you make time for me?
Or just a quick goodbye?
I hear your quick goodbyes make for a real great time
The reason that you’re lonely’s the reason that I’m not
The reason that you’re lonely’s the reason that I’m-
Hey, Jeff, can you make time for me?
Or just a quick goodbye?
Remember? My name’s Becky
The girl you loved in ninth grade
The girl you loved in high school
The one you loved in college
The one you loved in college
For all the other
Hey, Jeff, can you make time for me?
Or just a quick goodbye?
I hear your quick goodbyes make for a real great time
The reason that you’re lonely’s the reason that I’m not
The reason that you’re lonely’s the reason that I’m-
[Hey where’re you going?
Where’re you going?]
