Dandelion Wine: Time's Embrace in a Canvas of Love
Lyrics
I'd like to steal another moment
I desire to capture another moment
But time is melting, our fingertips turn to dust
Time is passing quickly; our moments are fleeting and ephemeral
Wish we could lie right here forever, while the planets twirl around us oh, all I know is that I don't know how to keep you off my mind
Expressing a longing for eternal moments, surrounded by cosmic motion; struggling to get someone out of the mind
Oh, when the sun starts to fold, we'll call all the shadows to come outside
When the sun sets, invoking shadows to emerge
Oh, when the leaves fall off our bones, we'll pick up the pieces and try to hit rewind
Metaphorically dealing with challenges or difficulties; attempting to reverse or fix mistakes
Like summer's caught our crime, like dandelion wine
Comparing the experience to the intoxicating and fleeting nature of dandelion wine
I'd like to paint you a landscape
Expressing a desire to create a vivid picture of the person
Of autumn in your cheeks and snow on your lash line
Imagining features of the person, using seasonal and weather metaphors
But I'm just a visitor at your museum
Acknowledging a distance or separation, feeling like an observer
So I'll watch you through the frame from dawn until closing time
Watching the person as if in an art museum, from morning till closing time
All I know is that I don't know how to keep you off my mind
Reiteration of struggling to forget someone
And oh, when the sun starts to fold, we'll call all the shadows to come outside
Similar to line 5, describing a symbolic folding of the day and the emergence of shadows
Oh, when the leaves fall off our bones, we'll pick up the pieces and try to hit rewind
Continuation of metaphorical language, attempting to mend or reverse the past
Like summer's caught our crime, like dandelion wine
Reiterating the transient and captivating nature of the experience, likening it to dandelion wine
Oh, when the sun starts to fold, we'll call all the shadows to come outside
Repeated from line 16, emphasizing the symbolic sunset and emergence of shadows
Oh, when the leaves fall off our bones, we'll pick up the pieces and try to hit rewind
Repeated from line 17, expressing a desire to fix or undo past events
Like summer's caught our crime, like dandelion wine
Repeated from line 18, comparing the experience to the intoxication of dandelion wine
