Lyrics

Wondering if I've ever been alive

Contemplating whether one has truly experienced life.

Or was I born the night the sun set lightly across library skies

Questioning if existence began during a picturesque sunset over library skies.

Shadows on concrete fill my eyes

Concrete shadows fill the eyes, suggesting a sense of urban or solid reality.

It's right here, you never arrive

The realization that the destination is always present, implying the journey matters more.


And when your heart's on fire

Expression of intense emotions, possibly love or passion.

That's how you know for sure

Confirmation that one is truly in love when the heart is ablaze.

When you can sing right to it

Suggesting a deep connection by being able to sing directly to the heart.

That's how you know that it's yours

Ownership of the emotion, indicating a personal and genuine connection.


Safe to say I take the long way home

Choosing unconventional paths in life, taking the scenic route.

And as I go, I start counting every table that I've known

Reflecting on life experiences by counting tables, possibly symbolic of memories.

This new feeling in my bones

Experiencing a new, unfamiliar sensation deep within oneself.

I'm not lonely, even when I'm alone

Embracing solitude without feeling lonely, suggesting inner contentment.


And when your heart's on fire

Reiteration of the intense emotional state when the heart is on fire.

That's how you know for sure

Confirmation of genuine love through the fiery heart.

When you can sing right to it

Reaffirmation that singing directly to the heart is a profound connection.

That's how you know that it's yours

Ownership of love as a personal and cherished possession.


Flowers everyday

Just write them down

Encouragement to document and appreciate the beauty in life.

Flowers all the time

Continuous presence of beauty and joy, spinning the individual around.

Spin me around

Symbolic imagery of being surrounded by positivity and happiness.

Flowers everyday

'Til I am found

When you can sing right to it
