Lyrics

He falls asleep on her chest

He finds comfort in falling asleep on her chest.

The best sleep he'd ever met

His most restful sleep experience.

Nevertheless he dreams of some stranger's caress

Despite this, he dreams of someone else's touch.

He awakes and he knows

Upon waking, he contemplates the possibility of another person being the right match.

Maybe someone else is supposed

Speculating that someone else might be destined for him.

To meet his hazy anticipating eyes

He opens his eyes with anticipation, searching for a new connection.


He draws the curtains aside

He opens the curtains, welcoming the morning light.

Unfolding the first morning light

Observing his unsatisfying life as the day begins.

He glances at his disenchanted life

A glance at his unfulfilled and disenchanted life.


Restlessness is me, you see (you see)

Acknowledging his inner restlessness.

It's hard to be safe

Expressing the difficulty of feeling secure.

It's difficult to be happy

Highlighting the challenge of finding happiness.


It's the changing of the seasons

Referring to the natural cycle of change.

He says "I need them"

Expressing a need for these seasonal changes.

I guess I'm too Scandinavian

Admitting difficulty in adapting, possibly due to Scandinavian roots.

The relief of spring

Finding relief in the arrival of spring.

Intoxication of summer rain

Experiencing the intoxication of summer rain.

The clearness of fall

Appreciating the clarity of fall.

How winter makes me reconsider it all

Contemplating life changes prompted by winter.


Restlessness is me, you see (you see)

Reiterating the presence of inner restlessness.

It's hard to be safe

Emphasizing the challenge of feeling secure in oneself.

It's difficult to be happy

Reiterating the difficulty of finding happiness.


Then she awakes

Shifting focus to the woman who wakes up.

Reaches for the embrace

She reaches out for an embrace, possibly seeking comfort.

He decides not

He decides not to worry about the changing seasons anymore.

To worry about seasons again

Choosing to focus on the present and not be concerned about seasonal changes.
