The meaning of the lyrics of the song "Jack&Ginger" by the artist "We Are Scientists"

Contents

This song tells a story of a protagonist at a party, probably a bar serving "Jack and Ginger" cocktails. He is clearly interested in someone he's been dancing and maybe flirting with.

It's getting late, and he realizes it's time to leave. He admits to losing self-control ("too late for self-control"), possibly referring to the alcohol consumed or his feelings for this person.

He hopes his feelings are reciprocated ("If you felt it... I was hoping I would know"). Despite some awkwardness and uncertainty, he writes his number on a napkin, hoping for a continuation of the acquaintance.

The image of "Numbers on napkins, soaked in cola and gin, drowning" conveys the party atmosphere and perhaps his slightly intoxicated state.

The recurring phrase "Well, anything can happen" expresses his optimism and hope that, despite the awkwardness, something might develop between them. He thanks the "Jack and Ginger" cocktail for the courage and confidence it gave him.

Well it's about that time

I probably ought to go

No matter what I do

It's way too late for self control

If you liked it

I was hoping I would know

If you liked it

I was hoping I would know

Whoa oh oh oh

Whoa oh oh oh

Whoa oh oh oh

Well anything can happen

Both our numbers on the napkins

Drenched in coke and gin

Soaking in

On the floor, remember

Thanks to all the Jack and Ginger

Every floor has been

Encouragin'

Well it's about that time

Who knows what's going on

I guess I should be used

To reading signals in the dark

When the lights hit

I was hoping I would know

When the lights hit

I was hoping I would know

That anything can happen

Both our numbers on the napkins

Drenched in coke and gin

Soaking in

On the floor, remember

Thanks to all the jack and ginger

Every floor has been

Encouragin'

Whoa oh oh oh

Whoa oh oh oh

Whoa oh oh oh

Whoa oh oh oh

Well anything can happen

Both our numbers on the napkins

Drenched in coke and gin

Soaking in

On the floor, remember

Thanks to all the jack and ginger

Every floor has been

Encouragin'
