This song is a young woman thinking back on her life. The lyric "Oh no there she goes
Dressed up in Daddy's clothes
Quick while he's still away" is a little girl looking up to her parents and wanting to be like them.
Later in the song with the lyric:
"Walk to the open door
Meet me by my old house
Wait there by the side
I think I'm into you
But what am I into
A girl or are you a guy?
Hey I can see us
Walking down the aisle"
This is the main character of the girl growing up and finding love as a child. She meets a boy that she has her first crush on. This line is from the perspective of the optimistic boyfriend
The lyric:
"How does it look
Through all the people's eyes
How does it feel
With someone's else's thighs
I just can't wait
'Cause I don't feel the same
I am waiting
I am ready
I can see us
Walking down the aisle"
Is the girl feeling self conscious and wondering what other people think of her. She's beginning to feel less pretty, but remains optimistic about her relationship.
The lyric:
"Crashing private parts
Electric plastic skin
Truth is on the tongue
Come on and slip it in
I just can't wait
'Cause I don't feel the same
I am waiting
I am ready"
This is the girl reaching sexual maturity.
Finally, the reprise:
"Oh no there she goes
Dressed up in Daddy's clothes
Quick while he's still away
Slip into his shoes
Zip up in demin blues
Let yourself fade away"
Is the girl looking back on her life being fond of the innocence of her childhood. As a child she hadn't experienced the jealousy and heartbreak of growing up.
This is a beautiful song about many people's experiences with their teenage years.
