Lyrics
Hey hey, Joni
Greeting or acknowledgment to Joni
Hey hey, Joni
Repetition of the greeting or acknowledgment to Joni
Oh you've got to make this right
Expressing the need to correct something
We've got to play our song tonight
Emphasizing the importance of playing their song that night
I want you to lock me up outta sight
Desire to be secluded or hidden, metaphorically expressed as being locked up
But there are too few keys on your keyboard
Obstacle to achieving seclusion, using a metaphor of insufficient keys on a keyboard
My soul's chillin brain stillin
Describing a state of calmness and stillness in the soul and brain
Finding new places to hide
Searching for new ways or places to hide
My heart's stallin' start crawlin'
Describing a hesitation or delay in the heart, starting to crawl
Finding new places to hide
Continuing the theme of finding new places to hide
Hey hey Amy
Greeting or acknowledgment to Amy
Hey hey, Amy
Repetition of the greeting or acknowledgment to Amy
Can you sing a poem for me
Requesting a poetic expression from Amy
Picture what this life could be
Imagining the possibilities of life through artistic expression
Let the brushstrokes set us free
Advocating freedom through creative expression using brushstrokes
But there are too few shades on your palette
Obstacle to artistic freedom, using a metaphor of limited shades on a palette
My soul's chillin' brain stealin'
Repeating the calmness and stillness theme in the soul and brain
Finding new places to hide
Continuing the search for new places to hide
My heart's stallin' time crawlin'
Repeating the hesitation or delay in the heart, with time crawling
Finding new places to hide
Emphasizing the ongoing quest to find new places to hide
Hey, we're just boys grown tall
Repetition of the phrase "Hey, we're just boys grown tall," suggesting a shared experience of maturation
Hey, we're just boys grown tall
-Hey, we're just boys grown tall
-Hey, we're just boys grown tall
-Hey, we're just boys grown tall
-Hey, we're just boys grown tall
-Hey, we're just boys grown tall
-Hey, we're just boys grown tall
-Hey, we're just boys grown tall
Reiteration of the shared experience of growing tall
