Lyrics
Through the crowd
Expressing movement through a crowd
Dozens of inches above the ground
Being slightly elevated above the ground
Waiting for our eyes to meet
Anticipating eye contact
Looking at you from a distance
Observing from a distance
Cell phone screens
Cell phone screens as a source of visual stimulation
Present color to us in HD
High-definition presentation of colors
With images that stun like lightning
Images that captivate like lightning
Still, to me, you're more than a pretty picture
Despite visuals, valuing the person beyond appearance
Strawberry blonde
Describing hair color as strawberry blonde
Is like red
Comparing strawberry blonde to red
Brown has always been brunette
Defining brown as brunette
Wavy, casually pulled back
Depicting casually pulled back wavy hair
True love's hair is black
Associating black hair with true love
Stars are like your eyes
Metaphorically likening stars to the person's eyes
Burning through the absence of light
Expressing the intense brightness of the eyes
If ever I couldn't see a thing
Highlighting the significance of the color black
Black would still be my color
Choosing black as a symbol of enduring love
Reminding me why things are this way
Reflecting on the cyclical nature of day and night
Why night is always followed by the day
Philosophizing on the balance of opposites
And as the night comes
Transitioning to nighttime imagery
Tides and waves precedent the shores
Metaphorically linking tides and waves to life's experiences
To shape ideas of so much more
Shaping thoughts and perspectives through experiences
Baby I'm just chiseling away
Expressing a continuous effort to understand
At silhouetted ways to say
Working on expressing feelings in unique ways
If the ocean drowned the earth today
Contemplating the endurance of true love despite challenges
True love would not be washed away
Asserting the resilience of genuine love
While I say
Reiterating the significance of black hair in love
Strawberry blonde
Repeating the description of strawberry blonde hair
Is like red
Reaffirming the comparison of strawberry blonde to red
Brown has always been brunette
Restating that brown is equivalent to brunette
Wavy, casually pulled back
Reiterating the casual, wavy hairstyle
True love's hair is black
Emphasizing that true love's hair is black
True love's hair is black
Repeating the declaration that true love's hair is black
True love's hair is black
Affirming once again that true love's hair is black
