Television Blue
Rain-soaked Memories: Andy Shauf's Television Blue
Lyrics
Up to the surface, cold and blue, I look over at her
Reflecting on emerging from a cold and blue environment, observing a person nearby.
Sweater on, suntan glowing
Describing the person wearing a sweater with a glowing suntan.
She says, "maybe we should go"
Suggesting the idea of leaving the current situation.
And I nod my head, feeling the rain in my hair
Agreeing to the suggestion, experiencing rain on the speaker's hair.
Wind picks up, throws me a towel
Wind intensifies, someone provides a towel to the speaker.
Up the stairs, my feet wet
Heading upstairs with wet feet.
Fluorescent lights, suntan glowing
Describing the environment with fluorescent lights and a glowing suntan.
She says, "I'm glad we did this"
Expressing satisfaction about the decision to leave.
And I nod my head, feeling the rain in her hair
Agreeing with satisfaction, feeling rain in the partner's hair.
Television blue 'til three in the morning
Watching television until early morning in a blue-colored ambiance.
Was she talking to me?
Raising uncertainty about whether the person was addressing the speaker.
Eyes wide open, pitch dark
Having eyes wide open in complete darkness.
Unsure of what to do
Feeling unsure about the appropriate course of action.
I nod my head, dreaming of rain in my hair
Nodding in agreement, envisioning rain in the speaker's hair.
Judy takes a sip, says, "I remember we stole bug spray
Recalling a memory involving Judy mentioning stealing bug spray.
Out of money, blue motel, you told me to go to hell"
Describing financial difficulties and a past argument in a blue motel.
I nod my head, "But remember the rain in your hair?"
Agreeing with the memory, emphasizing the significance of rain in the hair.
Remember the rain in your hair?
Prompting the listener to recall the rain in their hair.
Remember the rain in your hair?
Repeating the prompt to remember the rain in the hair.
Remember the rain in your hair?
Reiterating the importance of remembering the rain in the hair.
