Lyrics
What are you thinking of
Questioning someone's thoughts or contemplation.
When you're in the house
Asking about thoughts while inside the house.
And I'm out in the yard with all of my years
Being outside with accumulated life experiences.
And electric lines overhead
Awareness of overhead electric lines, possibly symbolic.
What do you think about then?
Asking what someone thinks about in such moments.
People can knock you down
Reflection on being knocked down by people without understanding why.
And you'll never know why
Emphasizing the mystery of being knocked down.
Some people can knock you down
Reiteration of the unpredictable nature of being knocked down.
And you'll never know why
Reiterating the uncertainty and lack of understanding in such situations.
If you hold out a hand for me
Offering support by extending a helping hand.
I would lift you like that
Expressing willingness to lift and support someone.
What do you think about that?
Seeking the other person's thoughts on the offered support.
Banjos and trampolines and little guitars
Introducing banjos, trampolines, and guitars as elements of contemplation.
Banjos and trampolines and little guitars
Repetition of the introduced elements, possibly emphasizing their significance.
We'd miss you if you weren't here
Expressing the importance of the person's presence.
We would miss you for sure
Affirming the certainty of missing the person if absent.
What do you think about that?
Posing a final question about the person's thoughts on their impact.
