Lyrics
Can I ask you a question?
Expressing a desire to ask a question.
While we write our names in the sand
Symbolizing a shared experience of writing names in the sand.
But don't too get attached because
Cautioning against attachment due to the transient nature of tides.
The tides will wash em away again
Highlighting the impermanence as tides wash away the names.
Well, if I decided to walk straight into the sea
Contemplating a hypothetical scenario of walking into the sea.
Would the waves be welcoming?
Pondering if the waves would be inviting in such a situation.
And as the sun dips beneath the horizon
Setting the scene as the sun sets below the horizon.
Would she disappear with me?
Questioning if a significant other would disappear along in the hypothetical act.
Of course it's all hypothetical
Acknowledging the hypothetical nature of the scenario.
But that's how I wanna be
Expressing a desire for a certain lifestyle or mindset.
(What a dream)
Adding a dream-like quality to the desired state.
Look up at the sky
Encouraging observation of the vastness of the sky.
There's so much to see
Highlighting the abundance of things to perceive.
I can smell the sea salt
Noticing the scent of sea salt in the air.
But it's a little bittersweet
Conveying mixed emotions, sweetness tempered by bitterness.
People are all around
Observing the presence of people in the surroundings.
Everyone's got somewhere to be
Noting everyone's busy lives and destinations.
I mean, I do too, but what's the rush
Questioning the necessity of haste in reaching one's own destination.
I'll get there eventually
Expressing a relaxed attitude towards reaching personal goals.
So if I decided to walk straight into the sea
Revisiting the hypothetical scenario of walking into the sea.
The waves should welcome me
Anticipating a welcoming embrace from the waves.
And as the sun dips beneath the horizon
Connecting the act with the setting sun and its symbolism.
She'll disappear along with me
Reiterating the idea of disappearing alongside a significant other.
