Lyrics
Oh, he says I'd like to turn myself, as he stares into the windowpane,
Contemplating self-reflection while gazing at the windowpane.
And if only I could be myself, but I'm sure you'd do the same to me.
Expressing doubt about being genuine due to expected judgment.
I was only a guest that she wanted, it was more than that that he flaunted.
A feeling of being desired but not genuinely valued.
It's away, to you,
Escaping to a distant place, likely to find solace or peace.
Away, to you.
Repeating the desire to go away, seeking refuge or resolution.
So I pleaded, she needed to be herself,
Requesting freedom for someone else to be true to themselves.
And he dipped into his wishing well.
Referencing someone's inner desires or dreams.
At any moment, any moment the sounds of the midnight train,
Anticipation of a significant change or departure represented by a train.
Will be the mating call of his whippoorwill.
Symbolizing a profound personal transformation or awakening.
Should he wait 'cause his father drinks too much
Dilemma due to a family member's addiction or problems.
Had his paint thinner laced with his sleeping pills.
A dark reference suggesting a self-harming act due to distress.
He'll find a way, to you,
Striving to find a way to reach someone or something distant.
Away, to you.
Reiterating the desire to escape to a different place or state.
So he dreamed away.
Fleeing or disconnecting mentally from the current situation.
Away.
Emphasizing the act of escaping or mentally distancing oneself.
From these small streets,
Leaving the familiar environment or situation behind.
And to where they lead,
Seeking a new direction or path.
And the holes that bleed,
Alluding to emotional pain and suffering.
From where he beats me,
Implying abuse or mistreatment by someone.
Cause of these stained sheets,
Metaphorically referencing a troubled or problematic situation.
Lets dream away.
Suggesting a desire to escape or evade the current circumstances.
And from my small tower,
Feeling time passes slowly, making the day seem longer.
Every hour, seemed to take the day,
Continuing the theme of escaping or mentally distancing.
And so she dreamed away.
Reflecting on the act of mentally escaping or disconnecting.
Oh, baby don't you that you're good enough?
Questioning one's self-worth or adequacy.
Baby, don't you think that you're bright enough?
Expressing doubts about personal intelligence or capability.
Baby, don't you think that you're good enough?
Reiterating doubts about personal worthiness or competence.
Baby, don't you think that you're good enough?
Repeatedly questioning personal adequacy or value.
Don't you think that you think that you're good enough, for you?
Challenging one's own perception of self-worth and adequacy.
