Sorry for the double post. But it also occurred to me, the "narrator" of this song could be the girl's childhood in general. It would make more sense in a way. Really, anything that knew her as a child could be the "narrator." |

The younger self looks upon the older self, watching the older self, in turn, "dream" about the old times of being the young self. Though the young self was probably boisterous, "rotten" and fun, the older self is more mature and cannot return to that state of being. One of the tragedies of aging, one becomes a different person with time. (I will interpret "under my window" as the bedroom window of the girl, so the older girl still sleeps under the same window she slept under as a child. This is reasonable because rooms tend to hold a lot of nostalgia and remind people about the things that happened in the room.) |
