Lyrics
Yellow shoes and a white summer dress

I wait for you in my Sunday best
Expressing anticipation while waiting for someone special, dressed in their Sunday best.
There's a picnic for two in the grass
Setting the scene of a romantic picnic for two in the grass.
Rain boots and a red winter coat
Changing seasons to winter, wearing rain boots and a red winter coat.
I write the words on a page, "I love you the most"
Conveying love through written words, expressing affection the most.
The letter sits in your bedside drawer

You never plan to fall so hard
Reflecting on unexpected and intense feelings, not planned for.
For a person who knows who you are

You can share the t-shirts and shelves in the closet
Highlighting the sharing of personal spaces like t-shirts and closet shelves.
And never recognize what you had 'til you've lost it

I didn't know 'til now

Damn, you've always looked so good in blue
Admiring the partner's appearance in blue, emphasizing attractiveness.
But the dinner table is set for more than two
Noting the contrast between a set dinner table and the reality of the relationship for more than two.
Bright green eyes and I'm at a loss for words
Describing the partner with bright green eyes, leaving the speaker speechless.
They tell you that I'm crazy, "you should get away from her"
Addressing others' perceptions that the speaker is crazy and advising separation.
I'll bet you never read my words
Suspecting that the partner may not have read the speaker's written words.
