Lyrics
The distance outside of you comes into focus, collapses away
The external world gains clarity and then fades away.
Loving me
Expressing affection towards the speaker.
And hands to the glass and eyes to sky and glued to the south
Hands on the glass, eyes on the sky, and focused on the south, anticipating something.
She waits to see
A woman waits eagerly to witness something.
She's looking for birds she met last fall,
Searching for birds encountered in the previous autumn.
Who said they would come back different than all
Birds promised to return different from others.
She's waiting for six who know about sound,
Await six entities knowledgeable about sound.
Who'd promised to come back upside down
These six pledged to return in a transformed manner.
And I like your raindrop collector,
Complimenting a raindrop collector and its effect on perception.
Splash in my eyes and makes everything else look like you
Raindrops from the collector enhance the speaker's view, making everything resemble the beloved person.
So hand me the glasses and teach me to use them,
Requesting to be handed glasses and taught how to use them.
Show me the window, I want to look too
Expressing the desire to look through a window and observe as well.
I'll take the glasses and cover for you,
The speaker takes over, allowing the other person to rest.
You get some sleep and I'll stay 'till two.
A commitment to stay until two, taking responsibility for the watch.
I'm looking for six who know about sound,
Continuation of the search for six entities knowledgeable about sound.
Who promised to come back upside down
Reiteration of the promise of these six to return transformed.
She's got colors to spare and I don't care what they choose
The woman possesses abundant colors, and the speaker accepts whatever choices she makes.
And I've got nothing to do and nothing like you left to lose
The speaker has nothing to do and nothing left to lose that resembles the beloved person.
