Lyrics
He said, I want to grow up
Expresses a desire to mature and resemble the actor Robert Mitchum.
And look like Robert Mitchum
Continues the wish to emulate Robert Mitchum's appearance.
And I hope that when I'm gone
Expresses a hope that people will miss the speaker when he's no longer present.
There'll be some say that I miss him
Suggests a desire for a positive impact on others' lives after the speaker is gone.
He must have been romantic
Attributes a sense of romance to the person being described.
He must have sensed adventure
Implies an adventurous spirit in the individual being discussed.
And I feel the steel of his strong will
Describes the strong determination and willpower felt through the person's image.
In the frame around his picture
Highlights the impact and significance of the framed picture of the person.
And he's one more arrow flying through the air
Describes the person as an arrow, symbolizing movement and purpose in life.
One more arrow landing in a shady spot somewhere
Reflects on the person's journey and the hope for a peaceful resting place.
Where the days and nights blend into one
Portrays a seamless blend of days and nights, symbolizing a harmonious life.
And he can always feel the sun
Expresses a perpetual connection to the sun, representing warmth and positivity.
Through the soft brown earth that holds him
Depicts the person being buried in the earth while maintaining a sense of youth.
Forever always young
Emphasizes eternal youthfulness and vitality.
He could have been a boxer
Mentions the potential of the person to become a boxer but avoids the "dirty" fight game.
But the fight game seemed so dirty
Recalls a personal encounter where the person's sensitivity is revealed through tears.
We argued once he knocked me down
Describes a physical altercation but implies remorse and concern for the speaker.
And he cried when he thought he'd hurt me
Expresses a disdain for the perceived immorality in the world of boxing.
Strictly from the old school
Highlights the person's adherence to traditional values and stoicism.
He was quiet about his pain
Underlines the person's quiet suffering and endurance of pain.
And if one in ten could be that brave
Expresses a wish for more individuals to exhibit the bravery demonstrated by the person.
I would never hate again
Expresses a strong desire to overcome feelings of hatred if bravery were more common.
And he's one more arrow flying through the air
Reiterates the symbolism of the person as an arrow, emphasizing movement and purpose.
One more arrow landing in a shady spot somewhere
Reflects on the continued journey of the person, hoping for a serene resting place.
Where the days and nights blend into one
Describes the seamless blending of time, suggesting a harmonious existence.
And he can always feel the sun
Reiterates the perpetual connection to the sun, symbolizing warmth and positivity.
Through the soft brown earth that holds him
Depicts the person's burial in the earth while maintaining a connection to the sun.
Forever always young
Emphasizes the eternal youthfulness and vitality of the person.

Repeats the idea of the person as an arrow, emphasizing the eternal youthfulness.
