Lyrics
City life, rain and on the street
Describing the atmosphere of city life amidst rain on the streets.
I'd crawl back home if I thought she was asleep
Expressing a desire to return home quietly if the person he cares about is asleep.
The way we were, that soft and perfect kiss
Recalling a past moment of tenderness, a perfect kiss shared.
Summer ends and it comes down to this
Transitioning from the warmth of summer to a challenging situation.
Marianne, we're in the blizzard now
Metaphorically referring to being in a difficult situation (blizzard).
We're the dream and fate's trying to be the plow
Suggesting they are the dream while external circumstances (fate) are obstacles.
You got to fight with all the light in your skull
Encouraging resilience, fighting despite mental challenges.
We've come too far to lay down by the side of the road
Refusing to give up despite having progressed too far to quit.
August one, my head was full of junk
Reflecting on a time (August one) when the mind was cluttered.
You see in time a cruel pollution comes
Noting the inevitability of negativity or contamination over time.
She didn't cry until I opened up my mouth
Emphasizing the emotional impact of speaking honestly.
We're headed north but my god this feels south
Despite heading in a particular direction (north), feeling like things are going wrong (south).
My God this feels south
Reiterating the feeling of being off course or in a wrong situation.
I miss your smile, I miss the way you'd move
Expressing a longing for someone's smile and their graceful movements from the past.
Before all this, before so much to lose
Reminiscing about a time when things were simpler and there wasn't much to lose.
My eyes aglow and on the fire escape
Describing a moment where the speaker's eyes glowed on a fire escape.
Why's it get so quiet when there's so much to say?
Questioning why silence prevails despite having a lot to communicate.
I want that feel like a plane when it arrives
Longing for the feeling of anticipation akin to a plane's arrival.
Where at the gate family waits with quiet smiles
Imagining a scenario where loved ones eagerly await, signifying a hopeful reunion.
And all is pure with a bright sense of relief
Yearning for a pure and relieving state of being, free from complications.
I can trust you love if you can trust me
Expressing a need for mutual trust in love.
If you can trust me
Emphasizing the importance of mutual trust for the relationship to thrive.
