Lyrics
Everywhere I said I'd take you is gone
Expressing regret that promises of going to certain places have not materialized.
It's all my fault I waited too long
Acknowledging personal responsibility for the delay in fulfilling promises.
I thought we still had many years
Believing there was ample time ahead for shared experiences.
To see the sights, to find our new frontier
Anticipating a future where they explore new places together.
So come with me to the backyard
Inviting the listener to a meaningful and intimate space, symbolized by the backyard.
And sit and hold my hand under the stars
Suggesting a desire for closeness and connection beneath the night sky.
We'll see if we can spot Venus and Mars
Expressing a shared interest in stargazing, mentioning Venus and Mars.
And next year let's not work so damned hard
Expressing a wish to prioritize leisure over excessive work in the coming year.
Another cherry season has passed
Noting the passage of time, specifically referring to cherry season as a metaphor for fleeting moments.
One day it's gonna be the last
Reflecting on the inevitability of the last time for certain experiences.
And the red of both our lips is dusky pink
Describing the color of lips as a shared and intimate detail.
And I see the crow's feet every time we blink
Observing signs of aging, represented by crow's feet around the eyes.
So come with me to the front porch
Transitioning to a different setting, the front porch, to plan for the future.
Pull out a map and plot a future course
Symbolizing the act of charting a course for their shared life ahead.
Set our sails for some distant ports
Expressing a commitment to move towards new and distant experiences.
Moving ever closer to the source
Emphasizing a continual journey toward a meaningful destination.
But I hope you know I've seen the world in your eyes
Acknowledging that the depth of the person's experiences is visible in their eyes.
And when you're close I still get butterflies
Expressing ongoing romantic feelings and a sense of excitement in proximity.
And if I don't ever see anything new
Stating contentment with the current relationship even if new experiences are limited.
At least I got to spend my time with you
Valuing the time spent together, regardless of external achievements.
So come with me to the backyard
Reiterating the invitation to the intimate space of the backyard.
And sit and hold my hand under the stars
Repeating the desire for closeness and connection beneath the stars.
We'll see if we can spot Venus and Mars
Reiterating the shared interest in stargazing, specifically naming Venus and Mars.
And next year let's not work so damned hard
Renewing the commitment to prioritize leisure over excessive work in the future.
Sit and hold my hand under the stars
Reiterating the desire to hold hands under the stars in the backyard.
