Lyrics

Maybe I'll go tomorrow with a handshake

Contemplating going somewhere the next day with a friendly gesture.

Maybe for everyone to see

Possibly for public visibility or recognition.

Maybe I'll go so loud and so lovely

Considering going with enthusiasm and charm.

And take off with anyone that's free

Expressing openness to connect with anyone available.


We all like to gather up in circles

Describing a social inclination to gather in circles.

And treat the sofa with champagne

Depicting a scenario of celebrating with champagne on the sofa.

Oh and the conversation lasts for hours

Highlighting lengthy conversations during these gatherings.

It's easy to make it all the same

Suggesting that it's easy to make these experiences feel repetitive.


Millions sing, but I go inside

Contrasting personal introspection with the collective act of singing.

Excited but not enough

Feeling enthusiastic but acknowledging it's not sufficient.


We like to get aboard the train, the train is here

Describing a communal experience of boarding a train.

With long coats and plastic bags and keys

Depicting the passengers with specific details like long coats and items.

Saying hello to everyone that made it

Greeting and acknowledging everyone who made it on the train.

Oh sir don't topple down on me

Expressing a concern about someone potentially falling.


Millions sing, but I go inside

Reiterating the contrast between personal experience and collective singing.

Excited but not enough

Reiterating the feeling of excitement while acknowledging its limitations.


She takes me around the back into the patio

Being led to a quieter place, the patio, by someone.

Where she softly sings to me

Experiencing a softer, more intimate moment with someone singing.


Don't stay low

An urging to avoid staying low, possibly a call for self-improvement.

Always go

An encouragement to always move forward.

Surround yourself with the things you know

Encouraging to surround oneself with familiar and comforting things.

Oh please, please

An additional plea, possibly for reassurance or understanding.
