I wish..

but not- it's starting. you can look by yourself:

Either it's

"Staring across the room", and the site is wrong, or it's "starting to cross the room", and the site is wrong.​

 

[flutter girl]

They do sing "starting"

And they do indeed say "across the room" right after - But it's not necessarily perfect English. I have a feeling it means "starting (to feel something) across the room" or something of the sort.

Never again will I ponder

about the mysteries of Billie Joe Armstrong's writing.​

and the answer to my question is:

it is a sleng of course. but the meaning is - starting to cross the room. it'e like when peple say "i gonna go there"

 

[ArieIO5]

The bottom line is

Don't try to understand Green Day. That can only happen by accident.​

 

[flutter girl]

No it's not the same...

When people say "gonna" they just use a slang that derives from speech. Saying "I gonna go there" is being completely wrong, it's not common at all. Regarding "starting across the room" - again, this cannot be "to cross". It doesn't make sense and I'm wondering if you're certain that it's the meaning.

i am sure

because i asked a proffesional person

 

[flutter girl]

Do tell me who this "professional"

was? Maybe "starting a'crossin' the room", but I don't really recall Green Day being hillbillies.

 

[מתבוננת בפליאה]

oh

of course it's not the right way to say it, but it is a way

 

[flutter girl]

Well, yes...

I think that was the point, no?

 

[lol lypop]

i see it as

starting on the other side of the room... as in "ok, we're starting to run/walk/ whatever) across the room​

 

[מתבוננת בפליאה]

the next line

is "why are you leaving so soon" so it is easy to understand it as starting to go
