Blue for Me and You
Nostalgic Echoes: A Journey Through 1974
Lyrics
Walking down Main Street
Reflecting on a stroll down Main Street
Like it's 1974
Evoke the atmosphere of 1974
Cause you'd be here beside me
Expressing a desire for companionship
And not knocking at my door
Nostalgia for a time when there were no barriers
Your shirt looks kind of old
Noticing the aged appearance of a shirt
But that's 'cause you haven't grown in years
Highlighting someone's lack of personal growth
You tell me girls don't really change much
Challenging stereotypes about change in girls
Imagine if I'd said that to you last year
Reflecting on the passage of time and change
And there's sun beating down right now
Describing the current sunny weather
But that's gonna change here very soon
Acknowledging an impending change in weather
At least the picnic table looks nice
Noting the pleasant appearance of a picnic table
Just imagine if it was June
Imagining an idealized scenario in June
I know you're starting school
Acknowledging the start of school
And for some reason I like that
Expressing an unusual fondness for this fact
Immoderate over-analysis of
Reflecting on excessive analysis of obscure facts
The worlds least known facts
Commenting on aging and the least known facts
And I want to tell you that I would ruin this world for you
Expressing a willingness to sacrifice for someone
But as the streets fly by I just wish that we were back in June
Yearning for a return to a past time
With the Rolling Stones playing on the radio
Recalling the atmosphere with the Rolling Stones
The sky was blue just for me and you
Recalling a time when the sky felt special for two
Movie screens and wannabes
Mentioning movie screens and aspiring individuals
The church is looking kind of old
Describing the aged appearance of a church
With a slanted roof and broken youth
Highlighting the paradox of a church's exterior and interior
But the inside's made of gold
Emphasizing the value within despite outward appearance
There's boys with cars and girls with guitars
Noting the presence of boys with cars and girls with guitars
I don't know when we got this old
Reflecting on the perception of growing old
But if they're happy whatever that means
Acceptance of others' happiness
Then I guess that we're good to go
Expressing readiness to move forward
To the place downtown where you first found out
Referencing a place where dancing was learned
How to dance without stepping on toes
Recalling a specific moment in time
You're holding me like the walnut tree
Metaphorically comparing a hug to a walnut tree
Your parents always talked about
Recalling parental discussions
And I know you still have school
Acknowledging the continuation of schooling
You got to feed that backer pool
Highlighting the need for sustenance
Until we watch the stars on a VCR
Describing a nostalgic moment watching stars on a VCR
And you ask if they can see us too
Wondering if others observe the same phenomenon
And I want to tell you that I would ruin this world for you
Reiterating a willingness to make sacrifices
But as the streets fly by I just wish that we were back in June
Repeating the desire to return to June
With the Rolling Stones playing on the radio
Recalling the presence of the Rolling Stones
The sky was blue just for me and you
Reminiscing about a time when the sky felt special
Do you feel it too
Prompting the listener about shared feelings
Do you feel it too
Repeating the question about shared emotions
Do you feel it too
Reiterating the inquiry about shared feelings
Don't worry I'm just joking
Clarifying a joking tone to alleviate tension
I know you feel it just like I do
Asserting an understanding of mutual feelings
So maybe I'll see you next year
Suggesting a potential reunion in the future
At the same place in the afternoon
Specifying a particular meeting time and place
