Lyrics
Strange how my heart beats
Expressing the unusual nature of the speaker's heartbeat.
To find myself upon your shore
Reflecting on being in a place that is connected to the listener ("your shore").
Strange how I still feel
Acknowledging the persistent emotions despite the passage of time.
My loss of comfort gone before
Feeling the absence of a previous sense of comfort.
Cool waves wash over
Describing the soothing impact of waves.
And drift away with dreams of youth
Waves carry away dreams associated with youth.
So time is stolen
Time is passing quickly and cannot be grasped or controlled.
I cannot hold you long enough
Expressing the desire to hold onto something or someone for a longer time.
And so this is where I should be now
Stating a realization or acceptance of the present moment.
Days and nights falling by
Highlighting the passage of time in days and nights.
Days and nights falling by me
Reiteration of the temporal nature of life, emphasizing its passing.
I know of a dream I should be holding
Awareness of a dream that should be cherished or pursued.
Days and nights falling by
Repeating the theme of days and nights slipping away.
Days and nights falling by me
Continuation of the acknowledgment of time passing.
Ooh
An exclamation expressing strong emotion, possibly a moment of realization.
Soft blue horizons
Describing serene and distant horizons in a calming blue hue.
Reach far into my childhood days
Connecting these horizons to the speaker's childhood memories.
As you are rising
Noting the rising action, perhaps symbolizing a resurgence of past experiences.
To bring me my forgotten ways
Expecting a return to forgotten aspects of the speaker's identity.
Strange how I falter
Expressing a sense of uncertainty or hesitation.
To find I'm standing in deep water
Discovering oneself in a challenging or profound situation (deep water).
Strange how my heart beats
Reiteration of the unusual heartbeat, emphasizing the impact of the current situation.
To find I'm standing on your shore
Revisiting the theme of being on the listener's shore, possibly implying a sense of belonging or connection.
