Florence Again
Florence Again: A Poetic Ode to Love's Timeless Promise
Lyrics
I said hey, lift my feet from the ocean water
Expressing a desire to step away from the sea.
Lay my heart down on the sand
Metaphorically placing emotions or vulnerability in a vulnerable place.
May someday we have a beautiful daughter
An aspiration for a future child, possibly a daughter.
Name her Florence 'cause we can
Suggesting naming the daughter Florence as a choice.
Hey, lately my mind has been M.I.A.
Feeling mentally absent or disconnected.
Wondering where my body will lie someday
Contemplating mortality and final resting place.
Next to you on the tail end of a rainy day
Describing a shared future moment during difficult times.
As we watch the storm pass through
Symbolic of enduring challenges together.
Oh and darlin' the way you exist is what I can't explain
Struggling to define or comprehend the partner's essence.
You're the gorgeous moonlight shining through the rain
Comparing the partner's beauty to comforting moonlight.
I'll care for you on the darkest of your darkest days
Commitment to supporting the partner in their toughest times.
And I'm not just passing through
Expressing a lasting presence and commitment.
I said hey, lift my feet from the ocean water
Reiteration of the desire to step away from the sea.
Lay my heart down on the sand
Repeating vulnerability or emotional exposure.
May someday we have a beautiful daughter
Reiterating aspirations for a future child.
Name her Florence 'cause we can
Restating the suggestion of naming the child Florence.
Oh, and baby our years are short from what I've heard and seen
Awareness of the brevity of life, a commitment to making the most of it.
So for you I'll try to be all I can be
Pledge to give their best for the partner.
But if I go, lay me down with some roses
If the speaker passes, expressing a desire for a sentimental farewell.
And a photo of your face is all I need
Minimalist requirement for remembrance if departed.
I said hey, lift my feet from the ocean water
Repeating the desire to step away from the sea.
Lay my heart down on the sand
Restating emotional vulnerability metaphorically.
May someday we have a beautiful daughter
Reiterating hopes for a future child.
Name her Florence 'cause we can
Reiteration of naming the child Florence as a choice.
I said hey hey, lift my feet from the ocean water
Repeating the desire to step away from the sea.
Lay my heart down on the sand
Reiterating emotional vulnerability metaphorically.
May someday we have a beautiful daughter
Repeating hopes for a future child.
Name her Florence 'cause we can
Reiteration of naming the child Florence as a choice.
