Lyrics
When I was born
Birth and the beginning of a connection with the subject.
You were a sapling on the lawn
Reference to the subject as a young and growing entity.
And as I grew,
Parallel growth between the speaker and the subject.
You developed, too
Evolution and development of the subject alongside the speaker.
Strong limbs that I liked to tease
Attraction to the subject's appealing qualities, possibly metaphorical.
Would billow in the breeze,
Description of the subject's physical characteristics.
Intoxicating bees
Mention of elements like bees, suggesting a vibrant and lively environment.
Oh and in your shade,
Seeking refuge or comfort in the subject's presence.
I was first laid
An intimate moment or connection occurring in the subject's shelter.
You stood and you swayed
The subject's response to the interaction, possibly suggesting reciprocity.
I moved on, you stayed
The speaker moved on, leaving the subject behind.
I moved on, you stayed
Reiteration of the divergence between the speaker and the subject.
When I was born
Recollection of the initial stages of the relationship.
You were a sapling on the lawn
Reiteration of the subject's early stage, emphasizing continuity.
And as I grew,
Parallel growth narrative revisited.
You developed, too
Continued evolution of both speaker and subject.
Strong limbs that I liked to tease
Recollection of the subject's physical characteristics and interaction.
You stood and you swayed
Reiteration of the subject's response to the speaker.
I moved on, you stayed
The speaker moved on, and the subject remained.
I moved on, you stayed
Reiteration of the speaker's movement and the subject's stationary state.
And as promises were made
The introduction of promises, suggesting a potential turning point.
You stood and you swayed
Repetition of the subject's stance and the speaker's departure.
Strong limbs
Mention of the enduring strength or attractiveness of the subject.
I moved on, you stayed
Final affirmation of the speaker's movement and the subject's constancy.
