Lyrics
Streetlights show me
Observing streetlights; reflective mood begins.
I remember you lived there
Nostalgia for a place where the listener once lived.
Spotlights flicker
Spotlights flicker; perhaps a metaphor for memories flashing.
I'm thinking 'bout your hair
Contemplating the person's hair; a focus on personal details.
I'm breathing in the air
Immersing in the surroundings, breathing in the atmosphere.
All the blonde cartoons and
Recalling images of blonde cartoons, setting a visual scene.
In the empty rooms and
Empty rooms signify a sense of vacancy or loss.
On the sofa sitting quietly
Someone sitting quietly on a sofa; a moment of solitude.
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo
Repetition of nonsensical sounds, perhaps indicating contemplation or reflection.
And the portrait suits you
Complimenting someone with a portrait; admiration.
And the lampshade's turned blue
Lampshade turning blue may symbolize a shift in mood.
Candle dripping on the books
Candle dripping on books; an image suggesting both time passing and potential ruin.
Doo-doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo
Repetition of nonsensical sounds; a recurring motif.
Where'd the clouds go?
Pondering the disappearance of clouds; uncertainty.
I'll never know
The speaker expressing not knowing certain things.
I don't want to
Emphatic refusal to live within someone else's space.
Live inside your space
Reinforcing the desire for personal space.
I can see your face
Seeing the person's face; a connection despite the desire for space.
All the blonde cartoons and
Recurrence of images of blonde cartoons; a motif.
In the empty rooms and
Empty rooms persist; a continued sense of absence.
On the sofa sitting quietly
Someone sitting quietly on a sofa; a repeated scene.
Doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo
Repetition of nonsensical sounds; a rhythmic element.
And the portrait suits you
Complimenting with a portrait; continuity in admiration.
And the lampshade's turned blue
Lampshade turning blue; a continued shift in mood.
Candle dripping on the books
Candle dripping on books; a recurring image of potential decay.
Doo-doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo-doo
Repetition of nonsensical sounds; a concluding motif.
