Capturing Youthful Love: A Melodic Journey of Memories
Lyrics
One, Two, Three, Four
Counting off, setting the stage
Close your eyes, I mean it for a second close your eyes
Encouraging someone to close their eyes for a moment
Baby do your best to concentrate your mind
Asking the person to focus their thoughts
Fix it upon whatever you like
Suggesting concentration on something meaningful
I'm drunk on a memory, back when we were just seventeen
Recalling a nostalgic memory of being young
Holding Lake Michigan with your eyes on me
Describing a specific memory by Lake Michigan
Oh hands deep in the pockets of my blue jeans
Depicting physical closeness and intimacy
I said you can be my Marilyn I will be your James Dean
Expressing a desire for a romantic connection, referencing iconic figures
When I knew that you could fix my soul
Acknowledging the person's ability to bring emotional healing
I wanna waste a while with you baby in the living room
Expressing a desire to spend time together in a familiar setting
I'm never gonna sleep again, you lovely creature washing over me like rain
Conveying a sense of perpetual wakefulness due to the person's presence
Slowly draining all the black out of my veins,
Metaphorically describing the person's positive influence
Until my eyes shine gold as the morning,
Visualizing a transformative and positive change in perspective
I was loved by a woman
Reflecting on being loved by a significant person
I remember sunny days
Recalling happy memories of sunny days
Drivin' down to Dallas in the summer haze
Describing a journey to Dallas during summer
Sugar I was hooked when you walked off the plane
Expressing attraction and captivation upon meeting someone
Standing like an angel with your suitcase
Imagining the person as an angelic presence
And all I wanted was to be your guardian
Desiring to be a protector or caretaker for the person
I wanna waste a while with you
Reiterating the desire to spend quality time together
