Lyrics

I want to hear about the Savannah

I desire to hear about the Savannah

The riverbeds and all of the legends

Mentions interest in riverbeds and legendary stories

I want to feel the wind at my shoulders

Expresses the desire to feel the wind on the shoulders

Want to touch the face of a five foot boulder

Wants to physically connect with a five-foot boulder

I want to feel the warmth of the summer

Desires to feel the warmth of summer

I want to know just why I love her

Expresses curiosity about the reasons for love

I can just erase a whole number

States the ability to erase a whole number

Lay your head to sleep, breathe deeper while I

Suggests laying one's head to sleep and breathing deeply


Burn it out, burn it out faster

Encourages burning out faster

Take your time, make it up after

Advises taking time and making up for it later

Burn it out, burn it out faster

Reiterates the need to burn out faster

Burn it out, cause I'm not giving up

Emphasizes persistence and not giving up


One rotation leads to another

Highlights the cyclic nature of life, one rotation leading to another

Three trips round now, all for your mother

Refers to three cycles, possibly representing time passing

Make a five year window seem a little closer

Makes a five-year window seem closer, suggesting anticipation

Bring it on down, fly a little lower

Suggests bringing things down and flying a little lower

Going six times now, and seven is getting closer

Indicates repetitive experiences, with seven being closer

Ate my meals alone, I'm not over her

Expresses solitude and not being over a past relationship

Nine comes round, and so does ten

References the arrival of nine and ten and someone special as "heaven"

You're my piece of heaven


I want to feel the warmth of the summer

Repeats the desire to feel the warmth of summer

Want to know just why I love her

Reiterates curiosity about the reasons for love

I can just erase a whole number

Repeats the ability to erase a whole number

Lay your head to sleep, breathe deeper while I

Reiterates the suggestion to lay one's head to sleep and breathe deeply


Burn it out, burn it out faster

Encourages burning out faster (repeated)

Take your time, make it up after

Reiterates the advice to take time and make up for it later

Burn it out, burn it out faster

Emphasizes the need to burn out faster (repeated)

Burn it out, cause I'm not giving up

Reiterates the emphasis on persistence and not giving up


One rotation leads to another

Repeats the cyclic nature of life, one rotation leading to another

Three trips round now, all for your mother

Repeats three cycles, possibly representing time passing

Make a five year window seem a little closer

Repeats making a five-year window seem closer

Bring it on down, fly a little lower

Repeats the suggestion to bring things down and fly a little lower

Going six times now, and seven is getting closer

Repeats the indication of repetitive experiences, with seven being closer

Ate my meals alone, I'm not over her

Repeats the expression of solitude and not being over a past relationship

Nine comes round, and so does ten

Repeats the reference to the arrival of nine and ten and someone special as "heaven"

You're my piece of heaven


Take it slow, head to a place I know

Suggests taking things slow and heading to a familiar place

Let's reacquaint and show

Encourages reconnecting and demonstrating something has to change

That something's gotta give now

Expresses uncertainty about the duration of loneliness

I don't know how long I've been alone

Reiterates the need to reconnect and change something

Let's reacquaint and show

Encourages reacquainting and showing that change is necessary

That something's gotta give now

Repeats the idea that something
