Good Intentions
Chasing Daylight: Unraveling the Emotions in Glass Bandit's 'Good Intentions'
Lyrics
Maybe you would never tell me
Expressing uncertainty about receiving honest communication.
If you wanna slow this down
Suggesting a desire to slow down the pace of the relationship.
If I don't ask you directly
Emphasizing the importance of direct communication.
To be more than just a late-night come-around, baby
Seeking a more meaningful connection beyond casual encounters.
Keep me company tonight
Asking for companionship during the night.
And stick around 'til morning light
Requesting the person to stay until morning.
And when the dawn slips through the blinds
Describing the dawn breaking through the blinds.
I'm begging the sunshine to find you by my side
Expressing a desire for the person to be present in the morning.
I wanna see your face in the daylight
Expressing a wish to see the person's face in daylight.
'Cause you're always gone before the night is through
Noting the person's tendency to leave before the night ends.
I wanna see your soul in the sunshine
Desiring to witness the person's true self in the sunlight.
'Cause you've come from the dark side of the moon
Suggesting a connection to a mysterious or hidden side ("dark side of the moon").
The dark side of the moon
Reiteration of the mysterious or hidden aspect ("dark side of the moon").
Maybe we're just good together
Reflecting on the compatibility and synergy in the relationship.
I'm over-analyzing every move
Admitting to overthinking and analyzing every aspect of the relationship.
And you might tell me it's conjecture
Acknowledging that some observations might be speculative.
But darling, I just wanna see this through, baby
Expressing a strong desire to see the relationship progress.
Keep me company tonight
Repeating the request for companionship during the night.
And stick around 'til morning light
Reiterating the request for the person to stay until morning.
And when the dawn slips through the blinds
Describing the moment of dawn breaking through the blinds.
I'm begging the sunshine to find you by my side
Expressing a strong desire for the person to be present in the morning.
I wanna see your face in the daylight
Repeating the wish to see the person's face in daylight.
'Cause you're always gone before the night is through
Highlighting the recurring pattern of the person leaving at night.
I wanna see your soul in the sunshine
Reiterating the desire to see the person's true self in the sunlight.
'Cause you've come from the dark side of the moon
Repetition of the connection to a mysterious or hidden side ("dark side of the moon").
The dark side of the moon
Further emphasis on the mysterious or hidden aspect ("dark side of the moon").
I wanna see your face in the daylight
Repeating the wish to see the person's face in daylight.
'Cause you're always gone before the night is through
Highlighting the consistent pattern of the person leaving at night.
I wanna see your soul in the sunshine
Reiterating the desire to see the person's true self in the sunlight.
'Cause you've come from the dark side of the moon
Recurrence of the connection to a mysterious or hidden side ("dark side of the moon").
I wanna see your face in the daylight
Repeating the wish to see the person's face in daylight.
'Cause you're always gone before the night is through
Emphasizing the consistent pattern of the person leaving at night.
I wanna see your soul in the sunshine
Reiterating the desire to see the person's true self in the sunlight.
'Cause you've come from the dark side of the moon
Restating the connection to a mysterious or hidden side ("dark side of the moon").
The dark side of the moon
Final repetition of the mysterious or hidden aspect ("dark side of the moon").
