Lyrics
You pour the wine, I'll pour a cup of tea
You handle the wine, I'll prepare a cup of tea
Strain our eyes to adjust to this jarring color scheme
We strain our eyes to adapt to the unusual color scheme
And mood lights and house plants, grand designs and channel surfin'
Referring to the atmosphere with mood lights, house plants, and various entertainment options
Driftin' with these solar winds, we stay searchin'
Metaphorically drifting with the flow, continuously searching
I'm really enjoying this regardless of what happens from here
Expressing enjoyment despite uncertainty about the future
Turn it up, don't turn it down
Instructing to increase the volume, embracing the experience
I'm movin' through the gears 'cause I've been lost for years
Navigating through life's challenges, feeling lost for an extended period
I really appreciate you comin' down on train lines and night buses
Gratitude for the effort in traveling to meet, using public transportation
Pillows full of goose feathers, read it in the newsletters
Comfortable setting with luxurious pillows, referencing newsletters
I'm a real go-getter, trippin' with these trend-setters
Confidently engaging with current trends
Multi-colored parachute hat with the solar-powered fan
Imagery of a colorful parachute hat with a solar-powered fan
It's cool, she's with the band
Coolness affirmed by association with the band
I just wanna take you out for the summer
Expressing a desire to spend the summer together
I would never swap you out for another
Affirmation of not wanting anyone else
I'm kinda scared of your eldest brother
Admitting a fear of the partner's older sibling
We've been dressin' up 'cause we look like stunners
Dressing up to appear impressive
Girl, why does it feel like it's real for the first time?
Questioning the genuine feeling of reality for the first time
Girl, why does it feel like it's real for the first time?
-Listen
Engaging in a conversation about recognizing each other and creating a positive mood
I, I know your face from somewhere, how do I know you?
-I thought you were the lifeguard at the local pool?
-But wherever I know you from, you put me in a good mood
-And so I changed the channel from the local news and weather
-It's FIFA '98 with the surround sound
-I hope my housemates don't freak you out
-Or better still, they're not around
-Way up here on my trapeze, please don't shoot me down
-I love the way we hate these clowns
Enjoying the unconventional lifestyle, resisting conformity
And for a minute there, you had me shook, waitin'
Momentary uncertainty and anticipation
Holdin' on a health line
-I just wanna take you out for the summer
Reiteration of the desire for a genuine connection
I would never swap you out for another
-I'm kinda scared of your eldest brother
-We've been dressin' up 'cause we look like stunners
-Girl, why does it feel like it's real for the first time?
-Girl, why does it feel like it's real for the first time?
-(Girl, why does it feel like it's real for the first time?)
Continued questioning of the authenticity of the experience
(Girl, why does it feel like it's real for the first time?)
-Why does it feel like it's real for the first time?
-And life's on hold again
Life feels on hold, possibly a reference to uncertainty or stagnation
Your elbows on the table, but I'll let it slide for now
Describing a casual setting with a hint of potential romance
You almost got carried away and said yes, I'd have loved that
-Let's grab a jo' off a friend then smoke it out the window
-Nevermind the neighbor's cat, he always stares at me like that
-Moroccan bee-sting, Colin the caterpillar left over from my birthday
Details about shared experiences and peculiarities
What the fuck? I'm actually in love
Expressing love, mixed with contemplation and challenges
Lucid as my dreams and still struggling with decisions
-Coffee stains and urban wisdom
-I just wanna take you out for the summer
Reiterating the desire for a genuine connection and questioning the newfound reality
I would never swap you out for another
-I'm kinda scared of your eldest brother
-We've been dressin' up 'cause we look like stunners
-Girl, why does it feel like it's real for the first time?
-Girl, why does it feel like it's real for the first time?
-You pour the wine, I'll pour a cup of tea
Repetition of the opening scene, emphasizing the ongoing search in life
Strain our eyes to adjust to the jarring color scheme
-Mood lights and house plants, grand designs and channel surfin'
-Driftin' with these solar winds, we're still searchin'
