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”
Oh well
You've got me under your spell
And I don't think that I'm kidding around
I don't think I can forget you now
I once sat up on my roof
And examined the planning of my town
I saw the structured grid and pavement cutting through grass
And I remembered the cold of winter running up the legs of my pants
I picked the nicest lawn
And imagined the two of us rolling around down along the ground
I saw myself touch your face
And I noticed jets begin to race above our heads
And I pinched my arm and remembered how much you hate me
I remembered the fact that I can't see what you need...
And I'm too stupid to be aware of the beauty that you give this place and
How shitty this town would seem without you in it.
When you aren't around, I let the shades fall down to shut out all the sun's light
And make myself feel all right
What am I doing with my life?
Oh well
You've got me under your spell
And I don't think that I'm kidding around
I don't think I can forget you now
Remember the only thing we need sometimes are chilly nights and warmer
thighs
Cause nothing's like being held...sometimes
You've got me under your spell
And I don't think that I'm kidding around
I don't think I can forget you now
I once sat up on my roof
And examined the planning of my town
I saw the structured grid and pavement cutting through grass
And I remembered the cold of winter running up the legs of my pants
I picked the nicest lawn
And imagined the two of us rolling around down along the ground
I saw myself touch your face
And I noticed jets begin to race above our heads
And I pinched my arm and remembered how much you hate me
I remembered the fact that I can't see what you need...
And I'm too stupid to be aware of the beauty that you give this place and
How shitty this town would seem without you in it.
When you aren't around, I let the shades fall down to shut out all the sun's light
And make myself feel all right
What am I doing with my life?
Oh well
You've got me under your spell
And I don't think that I'm kidding around
I don't think I can forget you now
Remember the only thing we need sometimes are chilly nights and warmer
thighs
Cause nothing's like being held...sometimes
