Lyrics
The broken window boulevards
The streets that are damaged or in disrepair, often lined with buildings
The lonely man, the jumping hearts
A person feeling alone amidst lively or excited emotions
The ringing bells, the noisy cars
The audible presence of church bells and the noise from passing cars
You are my skyline
The person addressed is compared metaphorically to a skyline, symbolizing something significant and constant
The river and its distant sounds
The distant sounds heard from a river
The park with all the singing drunks
A park where people who are intoxicated sing
The ghosts are flying over our heads
An intangible presence or spirits hovering above
You are my skyline
Continuation of the metaphor comparing the addressed person to a significant element like a skyline
While everyone tried to get away
While others sought to escape, the person remained steadfast through changing times
You let the seasons pass through your walls
Metaphorically, the person allowed different seasons to affect them, suggesting adaptability or openness
You let the phantoms play
The person allowed illusions or intangible things to have a role in their life
Hey
A casual greeting or attention-grabbing interjection
Won’t you lay your two hands on my heart
An invitation for affection and connection, seeking to calm or pacify emotions
And slow down its speed for a while
A plea to ease the intensity or pace of emotions or feelings temporarily
The broken window boulevards
Reiteration of the damaged streets and surroundings
Empty schools and school yards
Deserted schools and their surrounding areas
Gracefully they fall apart
Acknowledgment of things gracefully falling apart or deteriorating
You are my skyline
Continuation of the comparison of the addressed person to something significant like a skyline
You are the poets' secret dream
The addressed person embodies the dream of poets, symbolizing inspiration or aspiration
An artwork in a rusty frame
Metaphorically described as a beautiful piece of art within an old or decaying frame
Your beauty gets me every time
The beauty of the addressed person is consistently captivating or enchanting
You are my skyline
Continuation of the comparison, portraying the addressed person as an important and consistent element
I think the phantoms will soon take flight
Predicting that intangible things or illusions will soon become active or prominent
I’ve seen them sway and circle around
Observation of intangible entities moving around in a circular or repetitive manner
Above the parking site
Activity occurring above a place for parking vehicles
Hey
A casual greeting or attention-grabbing interjection (repeated)
Won’t you lay your two hands on my heart
A repeated invitation for affection and connection to calm or pacify emotions
And slow down its speed for a while
A repeated plea to temporarily ease intense emotions or feelings
