Good to Me
Love's Colors: Exploring the Meaning Behind Inara George's 'Good to Me'
Lyrics
What's so different
Questioning what makes things different.
With the color of things
Reflecting on the diversity of colors in life.
I feel the wind push the car,
Feeling the wind while driving a car.
And I look at you again.
Looking at the listener again, possibly a loved one.
When you turn to me
Addressing the listener turning towards the speaker.
And ask me what I think.
Responding to a question about the speaker's thoughts.
I nod and then I sing along
Nodding and singing along to the listener's favorite songs.
To all the song you like.
Expressing enjoyment in participating in shared musical tastes.
There hasn't been a time that I have wished I wasn't here with you
Expressing contentment and absence of regret in being with the listener.
Your eyes are good to me, they can see,
Complimenting the listener's eyes and their ability to understand the speaker.
They can see what my mother sees.
Highlighting the depth of understanding in the listener's eyes, reminiscent of the speaker's mother.
They can see what my mother sees.
Reiteration for emphasis on the perceptive quality of the listener's eyes.
I fall asleep
Describing falling asleep metaphorically as an airplane crash.
Like some airplane crash
Describing the listener continuing to drive to avoid waking the speaker.
You drive a little more
Illustrating the listener's considerate actions to prevent disturbance.
So you don't have to wake me up
Emphasizing the ability to dream undisturbed due to the listener's care.
I can dream
Expressing the freedom to dream.
And I can worry
Acknowledging the capacity to worry even in dreams.
But then you say to me
Listener reassuring the speaker of their deep understanding.
I know you better than you think
Claiming a profound knowledge of the speaker.
Why have all the bombs been blasting in the air?
Raising a question about the prevalence of explosions in the air.
Do you know what our love can do?
Asking about the transformative power of their love.
Oh slowly, you know me, like a man should.
Describing the listener's deep understanding, comparing it to how a man should know someone.
I'm so sunny
Expressing a positive and cheerful demeanor.
Everyday
Reiterating a sunny disposition on a daily basis.
So sunny
Continuing the theme of a consistently sunny outlook.
