Lyrics
Walk me out by the water's edge
Invitation to walk along the water's edge.
Oh, my brother
Addressing or referring to a close companion or friend.
I'm coming down
Expressing a descent or coming down from a certain state or emotion.
We are you
Identification with the collective "we."
We are almost there
Nearing a destination or goal.
And the man keeps coming 'round
Repetition of the presence of an unidentified man, possibly symbolic.
I don't know who was right
Uncertainty about who was correct in a situation.
Or what they saw in you that night
Questioning the perception of someone on a specific night.
But here we are under moonlight
Presenting a shared experience under moonlight.
Words cannot describe
Acknowledging the inadequacy of words to capture a moment.
Walk me out in the morning sun
A request to be accompanied in the morning sunlight.
Oh, sweet momma
Endearment or addressing someone significant.
I'm coming down
Repeating the theme of descending or coming down.
We are young
Assertion of youthfulness and proximity to a goal.
We are almost there
Reiteration of nearing the destination.
And the man keeps coming 'round
Continued presence of the unidentified man in the narrative.
And I don't know who was right
Reiteration of uncertainty regarding a past event.
Or what they saw in you that night
Reflection on what others perceived on a specific night.
Here we are under moonlight
Revisiting a shared experience under moonlight.
Words cannot describe
Emphasis on the ineffability of the experience.
It's clear to me
A declarative statement about someone's nature or character.
You're like
Comparison of someone to vast elements like oceans and light.
The oceans and the light
Suggesting a reminiscence of the past and a call to remember.
Try and you'll remember what you used to be
Further encouragement to recall one's former self.
It's clear to me this day will take you for a ride
Awareness that the present day will bring challenges or surprises.
A place that you once longed to be
A reference to a place of longing from the past.
And there it is
A revelation or discovery.
I don't know who was right
Reiteration of uncertainty regarding a past event.
Or what they saw in you that night
Questioning what others perceived on a specific night.
Here we are under the moonlight
Restating a shared experience under moonlight.
Words cannot describe
Reaffirming the challenge of expressing the experience in words.
Walk me out
Requesting companionship for a walk.
By the water's edge
Repeating the setting of walking by the water's edge.
Oh, my brother
Addressing or referring to a close companion or friend.
I'm coming down
Expressing a descent or coming down from a certain state or emotion.
We were young
Recalling a youthful time.
We are almost there
Reiteration of being close to a destination or goal.
And the man keeps coming 'round
Continued presence of the unidentified man in the narrative.
The man keeps coming
Emphasizing the persistent presence of "the man."
