Mayflower
Nostalgic Journeys: Clayton Severson's Mayflower Reflections
Lyrics
There’s a humming sound coming from the radiator
There is a humming sound emanating from the radiator.
and the cars outside are finding their way home again
Cars outside are returning home, implying the end of a journey or day.
I miss the way the days they used to fade away in winter
Expressing nostalgia for the way days used to fade away in winter.
Cause it’s been a while since I’ve been back to Clarion
It's been a while since the singer visited Clarion.
Oh clarion
Reiteration of the connection to Clarion, possibly a significant place.
Oh I don’t really wanna go back
Expressing reluctance or hesitation to revisit the past.
And I don’t really want you back
Not desiring a return to a previous relationship.
Start an argument just another conversation
Starting an argument seems to be just another routine conversation.
You say it’s dangerous you’re going to wish you never left
Warning about the potential danger of leaving and anticipating regret.
So I went outside to smoke a cigarette I kept you waiting
The singer went outside to smoke, causing a delay and keeping someone waiting.
And I walked 3 miles back to mayflower apartments
The singer walked a considerable distance back to Mayflower Apartments.
Oh I don’t really wanna go back
Reiteration of reluctance to revisit the past.
And I don’t really want you back
Reiterating the lack of desire to reconcile with a past relationship.
I remember when I told you that
Recollection of expressing a reluctance to return to a certain place.
I don’t really wanna go back
Reiteration of not wanting to go back to a specific place.
You asked me to take you home
Someone requested to be taken home, but the singer is unwilling to do so.
I don’t even wanna do that
The singer doesn't even want to fulfill the simple request of taking someone home.
I’ve done this 100 times and I’ve tried to get back to clarion
Repetition of attempts to return to Clarion without success.
Oh clarion
Reiteration of the connection to Clarion, possibly expressing a desire to return.
