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”
Visit you at Baskin Robbins all the time
To let you know that I am yours and you are mine
So we can take long walks through Central Park
And hold each others hands to fight the dark
So you know that you're never on your own
So you know that you're never on your own
My Bonnie lies over the ocean
My Bonnie lies over the sea
And every night at two A.M.
I wonder why can't she lie close to me
Remember all the times you let me walk you to class
You would kiss my cheek, I'd never have to ask
You're going away in late September
But here's the things from summer I will always remember
So you know that you're never on your own
So you know that you're never on your own
My Bonnie lies over the ocean
My Bonnie lies over the sea
And every night at two A.M.
I wonder why can't she lie close to me
I hope you listen to me
Every night before you go to sleep
And know that someone in HB
Is thinking of you, Bonnie
My Bonnie lies over the ocean
My Bonnie lies over the sea
And every night at two A.M.
I wonder why can't she lie close to me
My Bonnie lies over the ocean
My Bonnie lies over the sea
Every night at two A.M.
I wonder why can't she lie close to me
To let you know that I am yours and you are mine
So we can take long walks through Central Park
And hold each others hands to fight the dark
So you know that you're never on your own
So you know that you're never on your own
My Bonnie lies over the ocean
My Bonnie lies over the sea
And every night at two A.M.
I wonder why can't she lie close to me
Remember all the times you let me walk you to class
You would kiss my cheek, I'd never have to ask
You're going away in late September
But here's the things from summer I will always remember
So you know that you're never on your own
So you know that you're never on your own
My Bonnie lies over the ocean
My Bonnie lies over the sea
And every night at two A.M.
I wonder why can't she lie close to me
I hope you listen to me
Every night before you go to sleep
And know that someone in HB
Is thinking of you, Bonnie
My Bonnie lies over the ocean
My Bonnie lies over the sea
And every night at two A.M.
I wonder why can't she lie close to me
My Bonnie lies over the ocean
My Bonnie lies over the sea
Every night at two A.M.
I wonder why can't she lie close to me
