Lyrics

Hey, now

Greeting or attention-getter

You have been gone for all time

Addressing someone who has been absent for a long time

Sailor, come home

Expressing a desire for the sailor to come home

Take it all, the city's yours

Encouraging the sailor to claim everything, possibly metaphorical ownership of the city

Hey, now

Repetition of the greeting or attention-getter

Been hidin' for most of my life

Admitting to hiding for a significant part of one's life

Sailor, come home

Reiterating the desire for the sailor to come home

Wake up and I'll let go

Encouraging waking up and letting go of something

It's so funny to me

Reflecting on the amusing nature of life

How life happens to be

Contemplating the unpredictable nature of life

Sometimes feels like the seas

Comparing life to the seas with its mysteries

With all of its mysteries

Acknowledging the mysteries in life

I can't solve 'em it seems

Expressing inability to solve life's mysteries

They keep haunting my dreams

Mysteries continuing to affect dreams

Got no moment to breathe

Feeling overwhelmed and having no time to relax

And don't know what it means

Feeling confused and uncertain about life's meaning

What happened to me?

Questioning a personal transformation or experience

I mean, is this really me?

Reflecting on a perceived change in self

It brings me down do my knees

Feeling emotionally down and vulnerable

Have I got what it needs

Questioning one's possessions or qualities

I'm stuck, feeling so green

Feeling stuck and inexperienced

And still in old fantasies

Being trapped in old fantasies or memories

Do you love me with these

Questioning love and its sincerity

Or do you want me do leave?

Questioning if the choice is to stay or leave

Hey, now

Repetition of the greeting or attention-getter

You have been gone for all time

Reiterating the absence of someone for a long time

Sailor, come home

Expressing the desire for the sailor to come home

Take it all, the city's yours

Encouraging the sailor to claim everything, possibly metaphorical ownership of the city

Hey, now

Repetition of the greeting or attention-getter

Been hidin' for most of my life

Admitting to hiding for a significant part of one's life

Sailor, come home

Reiterating the desire for the sailor to come home

Wake up and I'll let go

Encouraging waking up and letting go of something

When she told me she loved me

Recalling a moment when someone professed love

All of a sudden all of my doubts went out the door

Feeling a sudden assurance as doubts disappear

When she told me she loved me

Repeating the positive impact of hearing "I love you"

All of a sudden oooh...

Expressing an emotional reaction to love

And she told me she loved me

Reiterating enduring love regardless of time

No matter how much time it will take to get me there

Stating the commitment to wait, regardless of time

And she told me she loved me

Repeating the enduring love declaration

But all I can do is cry

Expressing a sense of helplessness and sadness despite love

And she told me she loved me

Repeating the commitment to wait, regardless of time

No matter how much time it will take to get me there

Expressing a sense of helplessness and sadness despite love

And she told me she loved me

Repeating the enduring love declaration

But all I can do is cry

Expressing a sense of helplessness and sadness despite love
