Lyrics
There's a sentimental feeling
Expressing a sentimental emotion
Somewhere in the trees
Suggesting a hidden sentiment in nature
And I feel it oh so clearly
Feeling a strong connection to the sentiment
When I see the spinning seeds
Observing the motion of spinning seeds
Gracefully they're falling
Describing the seeds falling gracefully
When I do it's a mess
Reflecting on personal attempts and failures to imitate the seeds
And I try to imitate them
Expressing the desire to mimic the seeds' movement
But they always do it best
Acknowledging the seeds always outperforming the imitation
I wonder what they say
Curiosity about what the seeds might think or say
About me to themselves
Wondering about the seeds' internal thoughts about the observer
I wonder what they'd do
Curiosity about the potential actions of the seeds
If they knew
Pondering the hypothetical consequences if the seeds were aware
When the sun sets I still see them
Seeing the seeds even after sunset
I have learned to train my eye
Developing the ability to focus on nighttime movement
On the movement in the night time
Referring to the seeds' gliding motion in the dark
So I can see them glide
Expressing the desire to observe the seeds in the night
Maybe I'll stay out here
Contemplating staying outdoors until sunrise for the seeds
Until the sun rises again
Finding solace in the act of observing the seeds
Nothing else could be so soothing
Emphasizing the soothing nature of the seed-watching experience
In the trees I see my friends
Associating a sense of friendship with the trees and seeds
I wonder what they say
Repetition of curiosity about the seeds' thoughts
About me to themselves
Reiteration of wondering about the seeds' internal reflections
I wonder what they'd do
Repeating curiosity about potential actions of the seeds
If they knew
Reiterating pondering the hypothetical awareness of the seeds
