Half Of The Time
Waltzing Through Love's Duality: Half Of The Time
Lyrics
Well little miss Arkansas comes drifting down the road
Introduction of a woman from Arkansas, creating a visual image.
You look in her eyes and you might see mine
Suggesting a connection between the woman and the speaker.
She might have a card to draw from a window laced in gold
Possibility of hidden aspects in her life symbolized by a card.
She might have a song about wasted time
Indication of a past or regrets through a song about wasted time.
Half of my days are spent in silent thought
Reflecting on a contemplative half of the speaker's days.
Half of my nights are filled with wine
Highlighting a contrasting half of nights filled with wine.
Most of my songs are just forget me nots
Describing songs as reminders, possibly of forgotten memories.
I swear that I love her half of the time
Expressing love for the woman but with uncertainty, saying half of the time.
You might even chance to meet the inside of her ears
Emphasizing the importance of communication and connection.
She'll listen and talk with a scented rhyme
Imagining conversations with a poetic touch and fragrant language.
She'll never convict you with a jury of your peers
Suggesting a non-judgmental nature but questioning one's actions.
She'll ask if you're sure you've committed a crime
Posing doubt and seeking confirmation of a perceived wrongdoing.
Half of my days are spent in silent thought
Reiteration of the internal reflection in half of the speaker's days.
Half of my nights are filled with wine
Contrasting the silent thoughts with nights filled with wine.
And most of my songs are just forget me nots
Repeating the idea of songs as reminders, possibly of the past.
I swear that I love her half of the time
Reaffirming love for the woman but with uncertainty, stating half of the time.
And late in the evening with a candle at your heels
Setting a scene with a candle, suggesting a romantic atmosphere.
When you're calling ridiculous sublime
Describing a surreal moment where the mundane becomes extraordinary.
You might hear the echo of her voice like baby seals
Symbolizing the lingering impact of the woman's voice like echoes of baby seals.
I swear that I love her half of the time
Reiterating love for the woman but with uncertainty, stating half of the time.
Half of my days are spent in silent thought
Revisiting the theme of contemplative days in silent thought.
Half of my nights are filled with wine
Repeating the contrast between silent thoughts and wine-filled nights.
And most of my songs are just forget me nots
Reiterating songs as forget-me-nots, possibly signifying nostalgia.
I swear that I love her half of the time
Reaffirming love for the woman but with uncertainty, stating half of the time.
They'd call you snake if you had visions like I do
Introducing societal judgment and consequences for unconventional visions.
You'd burn at the stake or end up locked in a traitor's zoo
Highlighting potential backlash or isolation for having unique perspectives.
They'd tell you your better half is lost in double dealing
Suggesting a narrative of losing one's better half through deception.
And half of the time you're better off with half of the feeling
Advising that sometimes, having only half the emotional burden is preferable.
Well little miss Arkansas comes drifting down the road
Repeating the introduction of the woman from Arkansas.
You look in her eyes and you might see mine
Reiterating the connection between the woman and the speaker.
She might have a card to draw from a window laced in gold
Repeating the possibility of hidden aspects in her life.
She might have a song about wasted time
Repeating the idea of a song about wasted time.
Half of my days are spent in silent thought
Repeating the theme of contemplative days and wine-filled nights.
Half of my nights are filled with wine
Reiterating songs as forget-me-nots and expressing love with uncertainty.
And half of my songs are just forget me nots
Emphasizing that half of the songs are reminders of the past.
I swear that I love her half of the time
Final declaration of love for the woman, repeating the uncertainty.
I swear that I love her half of the time
Repeating the final declaration of love, emphasizing the uncertainty.
I swear that I love her half of the time
Concluding the song with a final declaration of love and uncertainty.
