Vacation
A Tempting Escape: Molly Moore's Paradise of Love and Longing
Lyrics
I wanna take you out
I desire to take you out.
on a Sunday
Specifically on a Sunday.
high til I get you down
I want to feel euphoric until I bring you down.
fuck you like a freak yeah
Expressing a desire for intense intimacy.
You've been a nice vacation
Referring to the person as a pleasurable break or escape.
and I've been thinking about staying
Contemplating the idea of making this break a more permanent situation.
and you know I know
Recognizing mutual awareness of the situation.
we both gotta go home sometime
Acknowledging the eventual return to reality.
I've been a nice vacation
Reiterating the enjoyment of this break.
but you been thinking about staying
Indicating the other person's similar contemplation.
and you know I know
Reiterating mutual awareness of the situation.
nothing's real in paradise
Highlighting the transient and unreal nature of this paradise.
Oooooh paradise
Expressing the allure of paradise.
Oooooh nothing's real in paradise
Emphasizing the unreality of paradise.
I wanna take you out
Repeating the desire to take the person out.
for a night on the town
Suggesting a night out on the town.
think I'm in love with you
Expressing a potential romantic feeling.
but I think there's only room for two
Indicating a realization that there might be limitations.
You've been a nice vacation
Reiterating the person as a pleasant break.
and I've been thinking about staying
Continuing to consider a more extended stay.
and you know I know
Reaffirming mutual understanding of the situation.
we both gotta go home sometime
Highlighting the inevitability of returning to reality.
I've been a nice vacation
Reiterating the enjoyment of this break.
but you been thinking about staying
Reflecting the other person's similar contemplation.
and you know I know
Reiterating mutual awareness of the situation.
nothing's real in paradise
Emphasizing the transient and unreal nature of this paradise.
Oooooh paradise
Expressing the allure of paradise.
Oooooh nothing's real in paradise
Emphasizing the unreality of paradise.
We could rent a motel and stay the night
Suggesting options for a temporary or long-term stay.
or you could rent my whole heart and stay your life
Metaphorically offering the speaker's heart for a long-term commitment.
We could rent a motel and stay the night
Repeating the options for a temporary or long-term stay.
or you could rent my whole heart and stay your life
Reiterating the metaphorical offer of commitment.
Oooooh
Expressing a melodic interlude or a moment of reflection.
Oooooh
Continuation of the melodic interlude or reflection.
Oooooh
Concluding the musical piece.
