A Smart Kid Lyrics

What an excellent song. Wow, it conveys such meaning that I could never understand. Someone obviously isolated on earth with no one else - be it a post-apocalyptic world, or a metaphorical isolation. Who knows?

The chorus says "I will wait for you, until the sky is blue". So he must be waiting at night. Why at night?

The last two verses really get me. Being a science fiction guy, I really enjoy it.
