Patio Lanterns
Patio Lanterns: A Nostalgic Dance Under Summer Stars
Lyrics
Our house had the biggest patio
Describing the house with the most significant outdoor area
Our house had all the summer shade
Highlighting the ample shade available during the summer at their house
We had patio lanterns
Referring to the presence of decorative lanterns in their patio
I'd spend half the night making lemonade
Spending a significant portion of the night making lemonade
Which we drank a lot
Emphasizing the consumption of lemonade
'cause we were all so shy shy and nervous
Describing the collective feelings of shyness and nervousness among the group
Who was gonna be, who would be first to dance
Wondering who would initiate the dancing first
Who was gonna be, who would be first to kiss
Speculating who would be the first to kiss
Under those patio lanterns
Implying the romantic setting beneath the patio lanterns
Those patio lanterns
Reiteration of the significance of the patio lanterns
They were the stars in the sky
Comparing the patio lanterns to stars in the night sky
Those patio lanterns, lighting up our lives
Highlighting the lanterns' role in brightening their lives
Those patio lanterns
Reemphasizing the patio lanterns' importance
They were the stars in the sky
Reiteration of the comparison of lanterns to stars
Those patio lanterns, lighting up our lives
Emphasizing the impact of the lanterns on their lives
Patio lanterns
Repetition of the phrase "Patio lanterns"
And I was stuck on Joy, that's her name
Mentioning someone named Joy and the speaker's infatuation with her
Didn't talk much, she was a nervous girl
Describing Joy as someone who didn't talk much and was nervous
I was a nervous boy
Highlighting the speaker's own nervousness
We stuck together like glue on glue
Expressing how the speaker and Joy stuck together closely
Dancing to an old song Alice in
Referencing dancing to the song "Alice in Chains - Black Gives Way to Blue"
Chains "Black Gives Way to Blue"
Mentioning the emotions conveyed in the song they danced to
Heartache on heartache
Expressing the sentiment of experiencing successive heartaches
Who was gonna be, who would be first to dance
Speculating who would initiate dancing
Who was gonna be, who would be first to kiss
Speculating who would be the first to kiss
Under those patio lanterns
Referring again to the romantic ambiance beneath the patio lanterns
Those patio lanterns
Reiteration of the significance of the patio lanterns
They were the stars in the sky
Comparing the patio lanterns to stars in the night sky
Those patio lanterns, lighting up our lives
Highlighting the lanterns' role in brightening their lives
Those patio lanterns
Reemphasizing the patio lanterns' importance
They were the stars in the sky
Reiteration of the comparison of lanterns to stars
Those patio lanterns, lighting up our lives
Emphasizing the impact of the lanterns on their lives
Patio lanterns
Repetition of the phrase "Patio lanterns"
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Repetition of the phrase "Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah"
