Lyrics
I had a dream I met a girl,
I dreamt of meeting a girl.
With brunette curls and nature faults,
She had brown curls and imperfections from nature.
She didn't seem to care (not) all like me,
She seemed indifferent, unlike me.
Like holding hands and falling backwards on your knees.
Describes a romantic gesture of holding hands and falling backward on your knees.
And man I loved her like it hurt,
Expresses intense love that hurts.
When being buried I'd prefer she be the dirt.
Would prefer her to be the one burying him.
She didn't seem to care (not) all like me
Reiterates her indifference compared to the speaker.
Baby it's coming out,
A change or realization is happening.
The burns, sunburns,
Mentions burns, specifically sunburns.
The burns, sun.
Repeats the theme of burns caused by the sun.
The sun is coming out,
Refers to the sun emerging.
The burns, sunburns,
Continues the theme of sunburns.
The burns, sun.
Reiterates the burns caused by the sun.
Falling backwards
Repetition of the idea of falling backward.
Falling backwards
-Falling backwards
-Falling backwards
-Like burning bottles, burning props,
Describes burning bottles and props metaphorically.
I learned to love her and accept her flaws.
Learned to love her despite her flaws.
She didn't seem to care (not) all like me,
Similar to line 3, emphasizes her indifference compared to the speaker.
Like holding hands and jumping fearless in the stream.
Describes another romantic gesture of holding hands and jumping into a stream fearlessly.
The day she taught me how to run,
Recalls a moment when she taught the speaker to run.
To hold my breath and give my body to the sun.
Learning to embrace the sun, possibly a metaphor for embracing life.
She didn't seem to care (not) all, so what
Reiterates her indifference, questioning its significance.
Baby it's coming out,
Repetition of the theme of burns caused by the sun.
The burns, sunburns, the burns, sun.
-The sun is coming out,
-The burns, sunburns,
-The burns, sun.
-All the lights, all around
Repetition of the phrase "All the lights, all around."
All the lights, all around
-All the lights, all around
-All the lights, all around
-Baby it's coming out,
Repetition of the theme of burns caused by the sun.
The burns, sunburns, The burns, sun.
-The sun is coming out,
-The burns, sunburns,
-The burns, sun.
-You know I'd love you till it hurts.
Repetition of the idea of loving until it hurts, amidst the presence of lights.
(All the lights, all around)
-You know I'd love you till it hurts.
-(All the lights, all around)
-You know I'd love you till it hurts.
-(All the lights, all around)
-You know I'd love you till it hurts.
-(All the lights, all around)
