Lyrics
And then you arrive
Introduction of a significant event or person.
And then you smiled
Positive reaction or emotion in response to the arrival.
The smell of her breath in your sighs
Sensory experience, possibly romantic, focusing on breath and intimacy.
There is no broken glass littering the aisles
No evident signs of conflict or disturbance.
Mist in the air
Atmospheric condition or metaphorical setting.
And in the blacks of your eyes
Reference to the eyes, suggesting depth or emotions.
Some promises are made, tossed aside
Mention of unfulfilled promises.
You mean everything you say
Assertion of sincerity and honesty.
Even when you said you lied
Paradoxical statement about truthfulness and lying.
Here is a little boy who's eyes are shining bright
Introduction of a young character with bright eyes.
He will grow up a little bit at a time
Expressing the gradual process of growing up.
You let the world
Encouragement to embrace and experience the world.
Soak in your mind
Encouraging deep reflection or contemplation.
Friends they will live
Recognition that others can thrive independently.
Without your jokes and your rhymes
Acknowledging the impact of one's absence on friends.
You miss the little boy, there's a man inside the child
Nostalgia for the inner child within the grown-up.
He stops to smile a little bit at a time
Finding joy in small, gradual moments of happiness.
Stormclouds are fluttering
Introducing a metaphorical storm or challenging situation.
Waves crash out of time
Highlighting disruptions or challenges out of sync with time.
The words they will drive you crazy
Emphasizing the impact of words on mental state.
The pain will drive you wild
Recognizing the intense emotions caused by pain.
Where is my little boy? The frown is turning wide
Searching for the lost innocence or purity in someone.
There is less of him a little bit at a time
Observing the gradual loss or change in a person.
A little bit at a time
Repetition of the gradual nature of change.
A little bit
Reiteration of the incremental process.
