Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
Just a glance the light was dancing
All around her when she walked into the room
At the same time I was eyeing her
She walked into my
Mind if I come talk to you?
She flashed a perfect smile as I was making eyes
And trying to find the courage to
Ask her for her name.
The same exchange that's often made
After you say hello.
Do you want to go?
Do you want to roll away with me?
Do you want to know?
Do you want to see what we can see?
Hello, how you doing?
What have you been up to all my life?
Tell me you've not been here before
' Cause if I missed you I'm losing my mind.
Just a moment frozen still in time
To find her on my
Mind if I sit down with you?
I knew I'd know her by her fruits
But flowers showered down around her so I knew
Now as the dove descending, let the truth be known
You're marked for me and I for you
So I'll ask you for a dance or just a laugh
Or maybe even ever after too.
Do you want to go?
Do you want to roll away with me?
Do you want to know?
Do you want to see what we can see?
Hello, how you doing?
What have you been up to all my life?
Tell me you've not been here before
' Cause if I missed you I?m losing my mind.
All around her when she walked into the room
At the same time I was eyeing her
She walked into my
Mind if I come talk to you?
She flashed a perfect smile as I was making eyes
And trying to find the courage to
Ask her for her name.
The same exchange that's often made
After you say hello.
Do you want to go?
Do you want to roll away with me?
Do you want to know?
Do you want to see what we can see?
Hello, how you doing?
What have you been up to all my life?
Tell me you've not been here before
' Cause if I missed you I'm losing my mind.
Just a moment frozen still in time
To find her on my
Mind if I sit down with you?
I knew I'd know her by her fruits
But flowers showered down around her so I knew
Now as the dove descending, let the truth be known
You're marked for me and I for you
So I'll ask you for a dance or just a laugh
Or maybe even ever after too.
Do you want to go?
Do you want to roll away with me?
Do you want to know?
Do you want to see what we can see?
Hello, how you doing?
What have you been up to all my life?
Tell me you've not been here before
' Cause if I missed you I?m losing my mind.
