This is probably one of the least understood songs by J.E.W, and I think its cool that people love it cause its friggin rad, but there is a meaning. MY INTERPRETATION: Lucky denver mint the lyric in the song is referring to the place coinage is minted/an actual wishing coin. Lucky Denver Mint is symbolic of a silver dollar that the person in the song wished on, and flipped into the water...hence- "a dollar under water keeps on dreaming for me." In the song, the person wants to make the wish alone, the person is oubiously going through a hard time when they think they need a wish to get through. You've all felt that way. The rest probably makes more sense- now that you understand the symbolism...Definitly a great piece if writing- typical of Jimmy Eat World.
