Whatever You Find
Journey Through Memories: Luke Elliot's Whatever You Find
Lyrics
I´m on my way to where you are
The singer is en route to where someone else is located.
I know you´re still living on Santa Monica Boulevard
Addressing the person's location on Santa Monica Boulevard.
I pass all the familiar spots
Passing by familiar places.
Places I see now that I´d rather not
Seeing places that evoke discomfort or unpleasant memories.
I know I left some things behind
Regretting leaving certain things behind.
I told you when I walked out to throw away whatever you find
Instructed the person to discard anything found after the singer's departure.
Your black drapes keep away the sun
Black drapes prevent sunlight from entering.
I wish you could see all the gardener´s done
Wishing the person could see the work done by the gardener.
In your bed I see a child's hand
Observing a child's hand in the person's bed.
Reach from under the covers to touch the nightstand
Seeing a child reaching for the nightstand from under covers.
I need something to hold onto, man
Expressing a need for something to hold onto emotionally.
Your hallway filled up with too much at one time
Noticing that the hallway is overwhelmed with too many things at once.
Are you still taking home whatever you find?
Questioning if the person still brings home various items they find.
Let come what may make way soon
Accepting whatever happens and making room for it soon.
We went picking elderflowers in June
Recalling a past activity of picking elderflowers in June.
You´d spot the branch from the ground
Noticing the ability of the person to identify branches and the singer's role in cutting them down.
I'd climb the ladder, and I´d cut ém down
Describing the collaborative effort in gathering flowers.
I try to take only what´s mine
Attempting to take only what rightfully belongs to the singer.
But sometimes you need to grab whatever you find
Recognizing the necessity of sometimes taking whatever is available.
