Little blonde baby on a sandy beach

Palmetto under full moon
Mentioning a palmetto tree under a full moon, creating a picturesque image.
Angel oak, autumn breeze

You and me, 2003
Recalling a shared experience in 2003 between the speaker and Carolina.
I haven't even been
Expressing a sense of not being present or involved in Carolina's life.
The only things I know of you I looked up on the internet
Admitting limited knowledge about Carolina, obtained from the internet.
And you're not even mine
Acknowledging that Carolina is not romantically involved with the speaker.
But I still lay claim to you cause somewhere down the line
Asserting a claim on Carolina, even though there is no official relationship.
You'll be more than stories from my mother
Anticipating a deeper connection with Carolina beyond mere stories.
Yeah, we'll find our way to each other
Expressing optimism about finding a way back to each other in the future.
Back to each other
Reiterating the desire to reconnect with Carolina.
What if there's no pot of gold
Pondering the possibility of no tangible rewards at the end of life's journey.
Waiting at the end of Rainbow Row
Referencing Rainbow Row and questioning the existence of a happy ending.
What if all my memories
Raising doubt about the authenticity of cherished memories.
Are just fairytales that help me sleep
Suggesting that memories might be comforting illusions for better sleep.
And the dollars by the sea
Questioning the value of material wealth by the sea.
Aren't worth a single thing
Challenging the significance of financial success in life.
I haven't even been
Repeating the sentiment of not being present or engaged in Carolina's life.
The only things I know of you I looked up on the internet
Reiterating limited knowledge about Carolina from online sources.
And you're not even mine
Acknowledging the lack of a romantic connection with Carolina.
But I still lay claim to you cause somewhere down the line
Maintaining a possessive claim on Carolina despite the absence of a relationship.
You'll be more than stories from my mother
Anticipating a deeper connection with Carolina beyond maternal stories.
Yeah, we'll find our way to each other
Expressing optimism about finding a way back to each other in the future.
Back to each other
Reiterating the desire to reconnect with Carolina.
Woah, Back to each other

Carolina, do you miss me
Posing the question again about whether Carolina misses the speaker.
Or do I never even cross your mind

Is it only wishful thinking

To act like I never left you behind
