Floridian Dreaming
Chasing Sunshine: A Floridian Dreaming Escape
Lyrics
Oh tonight Florida's calling to you
Florida beckons to the listener tonight
Can you hear your name in the southern breeze
Hinting that the listener's name is carried in the southern breeze
Or the swishing sound of wind breaking legs
Describing the sound of wind rustling through palm leaves
Brushing with the palm leaves
Imagery of the wind brushing against palm leaves
If you pass my smokes to me we can get going
Suggesting a desire to depart while sharing cigarettes
Drive our way down to the keys
Planning to drive towards the Florida Keys
If we drive through the night we can make sun light
Driving through the night to reach the beach at sunrise
On a sunday morning beach
Desiring to be on a beach on a Sunday morning
C'mon baby you're always saying
Encouraging the listener to leave their current situation
We should get out of here
Expressing readiness to leave, having $20 and $40 for expenses
I've got twenty in the deck, forty bucks on the dash
Planning to stop for beer during the journey
We can stop on the way for beer
Admitting lack of proper vehicle registration
We don't have valid registration
Referring to legal complications and troubled acquaintances
All we've got left here are probations
Implies a readiness to make new friends
Friends are dead and going on dope nosed reputations
Discussing someone named Fabian, involved in entertainment
We can make new ones
Suggesting a plan to collaborate with Fabian in an undisclosed venture
Pass me the bottle I've gotta tell ya
Proposing a potential role for the listener in Fabian's business
About a guy down there I know
Envisioning a life outside the conventional system
His name is Fabian he works in entertainment
Feeling excitement and exhilaration about the proposed venture
Out of a bar in Orlando
Noticing the listener's gestures amidst the chaotic plans
I could get in touch with him
Expressing trust and a plea for help from the listener
I know he's got a side hustle and I'm thinking I could run his cargo
Reflecting on a sense of newfound connection between the two
You could sling his drinks
Imagining a future together in a different environment
We could live in a dream
Describing the planned lifestyle of working off the books
All untaxed all under the table
Expressing heightened emotions and excitement about the prospect
It's all such a rush I feel electric and flush
Noting a gesture of affection from the listener
You brush your hair behind your ears
Recognizing the recklessness of the decision but feeling compelled to proceed
Smile and save me I know this Is crazy
Remembering the struggles and reasons for wanting to leave
But we can't take another year
Realizing they found solace in each other's company
We found each other in need
Planning to find redemption or a fresh start together
Now we can wash ourselves clean in the swampy sea
Optimism about starting anew in a different environment
Start searching for an apartment
Searching for a place to live without stringent requirements
Something cheap
Desiring an affordable living situation
No credit checks neccessary
Describing a location close to their temporary accommodation
Three hundred foot steps down
Noticing the listener's attire and complimenting it
From the extended stay
Expressing confidence in their journey and current status
In a south floridian town
Affirming the success of their journey and current situation
You wear that second hand sundress like a gown
Confidence in their present state and relationship
I knew we'd make it baby we've made it now
Celebrating the achievement of reaching their intended destination or goal
