Bedroom Window
Longing Through a Bedroom Window: Nostalgia and Lost Connections
Lyrics
I miss that song you sang
I reminisce about a song you sang
Before you went to the hospital
Referencing a time before a hospital visit
cnd now I know it'll never be heard again
Expressing a realization that the song won't be heard again
I think your neighbors think I live here
Suspecting that neighbors think the speaker lives there
I've been smoking off your back porch since august
Admitting to smoking on the back porch since August
Well now I know that they won't call the cops
Assuming the neighbors won't call the police
when they see me through your
Continuation of being observed through the bedroom window
Bedroom window
Emphasizing the setting as the bedroom window
Now it's spring and you're in bloom
Transitioning to spring and describing the person's positive state
Your whole wardrobe is baby blue
Detailing the person's wardrobe as baby blue
I don't know what to do
Expressing confusion or uncertainty about the situation
I didn't think we'd ever move this far away
Reflecting on the unexpected distance of the move
I'd make a list of anyone who's ever
Suggesting a willingness to make a list of those who misunderstood
Twisted my words up and
Referencing people who have distorted the speaker's words
Now oh who will trust me now?
Pondering on the loss of trust resulting from twisted words
I picture waking up next to you
Imagining waking up beside the person mentioned earlier
On the twin bed in your old room
Visualizing a specific setting—twin bed in the person's old room
Now it's spring and you're in bloom
Reiteration of the positive state in spring
Your whole wardrobe is baby blue
Reiterating the baby blue wardrobe detail
I don't know what to do
Reiterating the speaker's uncertainty about the situation
I didn't think we'd ever move this far away
Revisiting the unexpected distance of the move
