Lyrics
The rolling hills find quiet time
The peaceful moments are found in the rolling hills.
But unlike the I'm not as wise
The speaker acknowledges their lack of wisdom compared to the hills.
The stars that shine away from here
The stars shine in a place away from the current location.
They shine away to better years
These stars represent a hope for better times in the future.
The barn that creaks and shakes alone
A barn, seemingly abandoned, makes sounds and finds solace in small songs.
Finds company through little songs
Music or expression provides companionship in solitude.
And the pond it sits ons overgrown
A pond, ignored or overlooked, is covered with overgrown vegetation.
The way it should be all alone
The natural state of the pond is what it should be—unaffected by external influences.
The way it sits and stares
The way the pond exists and gazes is a unique and incomparable sight.
Is a sight I can't compare
The speaker expresses the inability to compare the pond's beauty to anything else.
To the waving city lights
Contrasting the peaceful scene with the bustling city lights.
My peace and comfort will deny
Despite the allure of the city lights, the speaker denies finding peace and comfort there.
The mountains that lay far out west
Mountains in the distant west are mentioned, representing a remote and untouched landscape.
Don't communicate through contact lists
These mountains don't need modern communication methods; they communicate naturally.
And the trees that fight for sunlights kiss
Trees fighting for sunlight's touch symbolize the struggles and beauty of nature.
Are some things that we all should miss
These natural elements are things that everyone should miss and appreciate.
The way it sits and stares
Reiteration of the unique sight and presence of the pond.
Is a sight I can't compare
Emphasizing the speaker's inability to compare the pond's beauty to anything else.
To the waving city lights
Revisiting the contrast between the pond and the city lights.
My peace and comfort will deny
Despite the allure, the speaker denies finding peace and comfort in the city lights.
I know you might not see it now, or maybe it's the other way
An acknowledgment that the listener may not perceive things similarly at the moment.
Or maybe I can't see much further than the sun that's setting low today
The speaker may struggle to see beyond the current challenges, like the setting sun.
But I can't find the evidence, or what i'll think five years from today
Uncertainty about the future and the difficulty in predicting thoughts five years ahead.
All I know is that I love an open field, and that distant mountain range
A declaration of love for open fields and distant mountain ranges.
The way it sits and stares
Reiteration of the unique sight and presence of the pond.
Is a sight I can't compare
Emphasizing the speaker's inability to compare the pond's beauty to anything else.
To the waving city lights
Revisiting the contrast between the pond and the city lights.
My peace and comfort will deny
Despite the allure, the speaker denies finding peace and comfort in the city lights.
My peace and comfort will deny
Final repetition of the speaker's denial of peace and comfort in the city lights.
