Windowpane
Reflections on Longing and Potential: "Windowpane" by James Hargreaves
Lyrics
I saw your face in the window pane
I observed your reflection in the windowpane
I saw the smile on your lips
I noticed the smile on your lips
Chocolate brown I saw your hair hang down to your hips
Your hair, chocolate brown, hung down to your hips
I saw your face in the window pane
Repetition of seeing the face in the windowpane
I saw the smile on your lips
Repetition of observing the smile on the lips
Chocolate brown I saw your hair hang down to your hips
Repetition of describing the hair's color and length
Take a look at you, so close to your dream
Reflecting on the person's proximity to their dream
But is it time to fly?
Raising the question of whether it's time to pursue that dream
Take a look at you, so close to your dream
Reiteration of the person's closeness to their dream
But is it time to fly?
Reiteration of questioning if it's time to take flight towards the dream
I wanted to speak to you
Expressing a desire to communicate and reminisce
Catching up on old times
Discussing catching up on past experiences
See what's running through your mind
Curiosity about the thoughts running through the person's mind
I just wanted to say hello
A simple desire to say hello
I wonder what you're doing now
Wondering about the person's current activities
Are you up or are you down?
Pondering whether the person is feeling positive or negative
I sent a message off to you
Attempt to reconnect by sending a message
To see if you remembered me
Checking if the person remembers the sender
You shone upon that TV screen
Recalling the person appearing on a TV show
The light is still in your eyes
Noting the enduring light in the person's eyes
I didn't know that you were on that show tonight
Surprise at discovering the person's presence on a TV show
Look above you now, and what do you see?
Prompting the person to look above and consider their situation
It might be time to fly
Suggesting that it might be the right time for the person to pursue their dreams
Look above you now, and what do you see?
Reiteration of the idea that it might be time to fly towards their aspirations
It might be time to fly
Repetition of the notion that it might be the opportune moment for action
I wanted to speak to you
Reiterating the desire to talk and reminisce
Catching up on old times
Repeating the intention to catch up on past experiences
See what's running through your mind
Repeating the curiosity about the person's current thoughts
I just wanted to say hello
Restating the simple desire to say hello
I wonder what you're doing now
Reiterating the curiosity about the person's current activities
Are you up or are you down?
Repeating the pondering of whether the person is feeling positive or negative
I sent a message off to you
Reattempting to reconnect by sending another message
To see if you remembered me
Repeating the action of checking if the person remembers the sender
I just wanted to say hello
Reiterating the simple desire to say hello
Hello?
Repetition of the greeting "Hello?"
Hello?
-Hello?
