This song is likely about vinnie being in the alley, which appears in “Gainesville Rock City” music video (its labelled as the ‘nervous in the alley’ alley), contemplating life. He’s hanging about in an alleyway feeling hopeless and nervous.
[Verse 1]
On a Tuesday in the rain, I never thought there'd come a day
I never thought there'd come a day, yeah
If I put myself to the test, would I ever raise a fist?
Would I just shut my mouth, would I just block it out?
[Chorus]
I've swore it a million times never to be left again with that feeling
Of hopelessness, left standing, just nervous in the alley
I've swore it a million times never to be left again with that feeling
Of hopelessness, left standing, just nervous in the alley, whoa
[Refrain]
Just nervous in the alley
[Verse 2]
And when all is said and through, would I know just what to do?
Would I know just what to do, yeah?
If I put myself to the test, would I ever raise a fist?
Would I just shut my mouth, would I just block it out?
[Chorus]
I've swore it a million times never to be left again with that feeling
Of hopelessness, left standing, just nervous in the alley
I've swore it a million times never to be left again with that feeling
Of hopelessness, left standing, just nervous in the alley, woah
[Refrain]
Whoa, just nervous in the alley
Whoa, just nervous in the alley
Whoa, just nervous in the alley
Whoa, oh
[Bridge]
It's a change of heart that keeps us apart
You say it's true, you know it's true, nothing left except for me and you
It's not that strange with all I have to say
I wonder what I'm fighting for, yeah
[Chorus]
I've swore it a million times never to be left again with that feeling
Of hopelessness, left standing, just nervous in the alley
I've swore it a million times never to be left again with that feeling
Of hopelessness, left standing, just nervous in the alley, woah
[Refrain]
Whoa, just nervous in the alley
Whoa, just nervous in the alley
Whoa, just nervous in the alley
Whoa, just nervous in the alley
