Sweep Me Up
Cozy Moments and Nostalgia: Sweeping Through Time with Andrew Kamen
Lyrics
Big cozy couch
Refers to a large comfortable couch
Eternal Sunshine is on
Refers to a positive, blissful atmosphere
My cheek is pressed against your silky shirt
Physical closeness and intimacy with someone wearing a silky shirt
Heavy blanket keeps us warm
A thick blanket providing warmth
Your Burt's Bees pomegranate chapstick
Mention of a specific lip balm flavor, possibly a reminder of a particular moment or person
After such a long week, that kiss is so fantastic
Expresses the amazing feeling of a kiss after a tiring week
The trees in your front yard are the same now
Reference to unchanging elements in a familiar environment
As they were then
Highlighting continuity or consistency
Who are you, or better yet what
An inquiry into the identity or essence of a person
Tell me later cause I gotta run
Requesting postponement of a conversation due to immediate commitments
Wave back for the last time
An indication of a farewell gesture
Don't be dramatic
Encouragement to avoid overreacting or exaggerating emotions
I'll see you later on
Assurance of meeting again in the future
I saved the torn out pages from your sketchbook
Sentimental value attached to saved discarded items
That you threw away
Remembering and valuing things that others may discard
I remember the most random things that you said
Recollection of seemingly insignificant details said by someone
When I get upset you stay collected
Appreciation for someone's composed demeanor during upsetting times
Try to be less of a right fighter and stand corrected
Encouragement to be less confrontational and admit when wrong
Stand corrected
Reiteration of the need to admit mistakes or wrongdoings
Big cozy couch
Repetition from the first line for emphasis or continuation of the scene
Waking Life is on
Reference to a movie title, possibly indicating the mood or atmosphere
My face is buried in your homemade dress
Implies closeness with someone wearing a homemade dress
Shots of whiskey keep us warm
Alcohol providing warmth or comfort
Your Burt's Bees pomegranate chapstick
Repetition of the lip balm, possibly symbolizing continuity or familiarity
After such a long week, that kiss is so fantastic
Reiteration of the fantastic feeling after a tiring week through a kiss
The trees in your front yard are the same now
Repetition of unchanging elements in the environment, emphasizing stability
As they were then
Reiteration of the continuity or consistency in the environment
