Lyrics
You saw right through what I tried to do
You saw through my intentions or actions
But you told me it's fine'
You acknowledged and accepted it
You're a swimming pool in a Catholic school
Metaphor: You are an enticing but challenging presence
And it's unclear you're mine
Uncertainty about the depth of the connection
I'll go blue
Feeling melancholic or sad
If I wait for you
Expressing willingness to endure for the other person
Love interest
Referring to the romantic attraction or connection
I ripped your skirt high above your shirt
Symbolic action suggesting intimacy
But you told me it's fine'
Reassurance and acceptance despite the action
You're a window seat moving through my street
Metaphor: You are like a comforting view in my life
And it's unclear you're mine
Ambiguity about the ownership of the relationship
I'll go blue
Expressing sadness or emotional withdrawal
If I wait for you
Commitment to waiting for the person
Love interest
Reiteration of romantic interest
I could be better
Acknowledging personal flaws and room for improvement
All that you need
Assuring availability for the other person
You sing with the sirens drowning in me
Metaphor: Sharing emotional experiences
I'll tell you the secrets that I meant to keep
Willingness to reveal hidden aspects
And carry you home when you fall asleep
Commitment to support and care for the person
Yeah, I could be better
Acknowledging the potential for personal growth
Or what you need
Reiteration of being there for the other person
And maybe finally
Hopeful anticipation of a positive future
Will be someday soon
Expectation that positive change will happen soon
Could you be
Pleading for the other person to bring life and joy
Could you be
-Could you be
-The one to breathe life into me?
-Love interest
Reiteration of romantic interest
That same old smoke still makes me choke
Continued struggle or discomfort with a situation
But I tell you it's fine'
Reassurance despite challenges
You're forbidden fruit in a champagne flute
Metaphor: You are tempting but perhaps off-limits
And it's unclear you're mine
Uncertainty about the nature of the relationship
I'll go blue
Returning to a state of sadness or emotional withdrawal
But I'm gonna wait for you
Commitment to waiting despite challenges
Love interest
Reiteration of romantic interest
I could be better
Acknowledging personal imperfections
All that you need
Reassurance of being what the other person needs
You sing with the sirens drowning in me
Metaphor: Shared experiences and emotions
I'll tell you the secrets that I meant to keep
Willingness to open up and share secrets
And carry you home when you fall asleep
Commitment to being there for the person during vulnerable moments
Yeah, I could be better
Acknowledging personal potential for improvement
Or what you need
Reiteration of being what the other person needs
And maybe finally
Hopeful anticipation of a positive future
Will be someday soon
Expectation that positive change will happen soon
Could you be
Pleading for the other person to bring life and joy
Could you be
-Could you be
-The one to breathe life into me?
-Love interest
Reiteration of romantic interest
