Easy on the Eyes
Easy on the Eyes: A Nighttime Journey of Longing and Reflection
Lyrics
Waiting down by the water
Anticipation or expectation while waiting by the water.
Where it's night time
Reference to nighttime, setting a specific atmosphere.
Where she is
Emphasis on the presence of someone special ("she").
Call me on the freeway
Receiving a call while on the freeway.
When your light is
Describing the dimness when her light is on.
On the dim
Continuation of the nighttime/dim atmosphere.
You're easy on the eyes she said
Complimenting the person as visually pleasing.
But don't get carried away
Caution against becoming too emotionally invested.
So long gone in the darkness
Being lost or distant in darkness.
In the soaring
Heightening emotions with the word "soaring."
Of a thought
Engaging in deep contemplation or daydreaming.
Touch her hair and touch her skin too
Intimacy with a person, touching both hair and skin.
But you can't have
Expressing inability to attain what is truly desired.
What you really want
Reiteration of the visual appeal but with a cautionary tone.
You're easy on the eyes she said
Repeating the compliment on visual attractiveness.
But don't get carried away
Reiterating the warning not to get overly involved.
I've been driving in my car alone
Driving alone, separated from others, with a contemplative mindset.
With my head in the clouds and my heart in my home
Being mentally preoccupied with thoughts and emotions.
West as far as these borders go
Geographical reference to the extent of the journey.
With the stars in the mountains and the sky in the road
Symbolic description of the surroundings during the journey.
Waiting, waiting to hold her close
Expressing a desire to hold someone close.
And show her, show her what I love the most
Wanting to share what is most loved with the person.
But I'm just easy on the eyes she said
Acknowledging personal attractiveness with a sense of detachment.
So I won't get carried away
Reiterating the need to avoid excessive attachment.
Watch the trees through the window
Observing nature through a window, perhaps metaphorically.
Watch the wind blow
Noticing the movement of the wind, connecting to the world.
Through the world
Sensing the impact of a personal song in the surroundings.
Feel your song in a street light
Feeling a wish or desire unfold or become apparent.
Feel a wish sigh
Reiterating the visual appeal but with a wishful tone.
Then unfurl
Emphasizing the need to avoid being overly carried away.
You're easy on the eyes she said
Repeating the compliment on visual attractiveness with a warning.
But don't get carried away
Reiterating the caution against getting too emotionally involved.
Leave it all by the sidelines
Advising to leave distractions or obstacles on the sidelines.
So that you can settle down
Suggesting the need to settle down by letting go of certain things.
Leave it all by the wayside
Encouraging detachment from unnecessary aspects of life.
So that you can settle down
Further emphasizing the idea of settling down by letting go.
Leave it all by the side
Repetition of the advice to leave things on the side for stability.
So that you can settle down
Final reinforcement of the concept of settling down.
