La chanson aborde le quotidien épuisant d’un travailleur qui compte les heures avant de retrouver sa partenaire. Il exprime la fatigue due à un emploi difficile et la frustration de ne pas avoir grand-chose à montrer pour ses efforts. Malgré tout, il garde espoir et se réjouit à l'idée de passer du temps avec elle, même si cela ne signifie pas des vacances luxueuses. La promesse d'une soirée ensemble lui permet de surmonter ses ennuis quotidiens, et il est prêt à profiter de chaque instant tout en étant conscient des sacrifices qu'il fait.
