Lyrics
Well I've been running from something
Running away from something
Twenty years in my car
Twenty years of running, possibly metaphorical, in a car
Down a road that's leading me nowhere
Traveling down a path without a clear destination
Yeah we drive through the farmland
Driving through farmland with unidentified origins
No one knows where we're from
Anonymity about one's background
Could I kiss you and make you a queen?
Expressing a desire to elevate someone to a special status
Or something in between
Exploring a relationship with uncertain terms
Do you want to see it
Inviting someone to witness a significant place representing freedom
The place where I am free?
Expressing a need for personal freedom
Cause in my mind I need it
Highlighting a mental necessity for the mentioned place
But you're nowhere near to me
Distance between the speaker and the desired place
Move to New York City
Suggesting a move to New York City with a significant other
Take your woman by the hand
Taking a partner's hand, possibly for a joint adventure
Leave her there with your things on the doorstep
Leaving belongings as if departing from a relationship
And there's no way around it
Admitting a challenge or obstacle with no apparent solution
Could this be our last dance?
Speculation about the possibility of the last dance together
So fall asleep with the t.v. darling
Suggesting a routine of falling asleep with the TV on
I'll be back again
Promising a return despite the departure
Do you want to see it
Repetition of the invitation to witness the place of freedom
The place where I am free?
Reiterating the desire for personal freedom
Cause in my mind I've been there
Claiming to have mentally visited the desired place
And there's no one here but me
Emphasizing solitude in the mental exploration
In the morning it'll find you
Anticipation of the morning bringing revelation or clarity
Let the light shine away
Encouraging the light to dispel uncertainties
Down a road that's leading me nowhere
Reiteration of the aimless journey
And there's no way around it
Acknowledgment of an unsolvable dilemma
Could this be our last dance?
Speculation about the possibility of the last dance together
Just fall asleep with the t.v. darling
Repeating the routine of falling asleep with the TV on
I'll be back again
Promising a return despite the departure
I'll be back again
Reassurance of a future return
