Nine†een Nine†y Four Lyrics
When the sun goes down
Echo out from the pages.
I pop the balloon you sailed across
And tip from the bottle of dreams
From the inside of the whale
I start the illusion, that escape
You didn't have to run, stop running
Just keep me where I'm warm
You knew how good it felt to be home.
Very soon we'll be erased.
Forget how the contents were used.
Then realize that, oh God,
You are now aware
I was in love with you.
You didn't have to run, stop run
Just keep me where I'm warm
Cause we're frozen. Yeah
We're frozen.
You knew how good it felt to be home.
You didn't have to run, stop running
Just keep me where I'm warm.
You knew how good it felt to be home.
Yeah, you knew how good it felt to be home.
Echo out from the pages.
I pop the balloon you sailed across
And tip from the bottle of dreams
From the inside of the whale
I start the illusion, that escape
Just keep me where I'm warm
You knew how good it felt to be home.
Forget how the contents were used.
Then realize that, oh God,
You are now aware
I was in love with you.
Just keep me where I'm warm
Cause we're frozen. Yeah
We're frozen.
You knew how good it felt to be home.
Just keep me where I'm warm.
You knew how good it felt to be home.
Yeah, you knew how good it felt to be home.
Add your song meanings, interpretations, facts, memories & more to the community.
I think this song is about a fling turning into a deeper love.
It starts off by talking about "I pop the balloon you sailed across" might refer to the singer trying to 'deflate' any lingering feelings of romance at the start. Maybe he's got a cold personality, or he's afraid of being hurt.
"You didn't have to run, stop running" probably meaning that the singer is begging the other person to not leave him behind.
This is because "Forget how the contents were used" could refer to either drugs or condoms, it's not clear. But the singer is clearly feeling passion towards the other person with "you were not aware I was in love with you"
"You knew how good it felt to be home" is a bit ambiguous, possibly implying the two knew each other when they were younger. Maybe a childhood crush, or maybe just two people who have known each other for a long time.
