Lyrics
I'll be your wave carrying you to shore
I am willing to support and guide you like a wave bringing you to safety.
And if your ribs are peaking through your fur
If you are in a vulnerable state, I will provide nourishment and care.
I'll feed you some more
Even if you're exposed or struggling, I'll continue to support you.
I rode out the city without you in my arms
I left the city without you in my embrace.
Under the moon glow I was a windblown cast-down carved out watermelon
Amidst the moonlight, I felt lost and empty, akin to a discarded watermelon.
Without you in my arms
Emphasizing the absence of the person in the speaker's arms.
Without you in my arms
-And I've seen some great things
The speaker has witnessed impressive things, but they only want to see what involves the person.
But I don't wanna see anything if I can't see you
Expressing a strong desire to see the person, implying their importance.
Kicked open in a coconut
Metaphorically describing a coconut opened and the choice to share it specifically with the person.
Could have shared it with anyone
-But I wanted to share it with you
Expressing a desire to share special experiences exclusively with the person.
I'll be your strings
The speaker is willing to be vulnerable (like strings) and sing for the person if they engage.
If you pluck them, I'll sing for you
-And if your hands are feeling tender
If the person is emotionally delicate, the speaker promises to provide comfort and healing.
I'll take them in my own and make them better
-I rose out of the water
Describing a journey out of the water, pushing past obstacles to be with the person.
I can hold my breath for only so long
-I push past the breeze from the palm trees
-I'm coming towards you
-I've got to have you in my arms
Asserting the strong desire to have the person in their arms.
I'm gonna have you in my arms
-And I've seen some great things
Reiteration of the speaker's preference to see only things involving the person.
But I don't wanna see anything if I can't see you
-Kicked open in a coconut
Referencing a coconut again, emphasizing the choice to share specific experiences with the person.
Could have shared it with anyone
-But I wanted to share it with you
Reiterating the speaker's special desire to share experiences exclusively with the person.
You send me over in tender torture
Describing the intense emotional state induced by the person, a mix of tenderness and torture.
And when it's over it's tender torture
