Lyrics
Look outside your window, dear
Encouraging someone to observe their surroundings through a window.
Your eyes are filled with water
Noticing that the person's eyes are filled with tears or sadness.
And the air is getting harder now to breathe
Describing a difficult atmosphere, with air becoming harder to breathe.
I find it rather shocking
Expressing surprise or disbelief at a situation.
It appears someone is mocking me
Feeling that someone is making fun or ridiculing the speaker.
It rains every time
Associating rainfall with attempts to leave or escape.
I try to leave
Encountering obstacles or emotional challenges when trying to leave.
I dream of going back when I'm blue as my old bike
Longing to return to a time when the speaker felt down, represented by the color blue.
The hills are all greener now that I've been away
Observing that things seem better or more appealing after being away.
The old yard is filled with yellow flowers
Noting the presence of yellow flowers in the familiar old yard.
And I wonder why I didn't stay
Reflecting on a decision to leave and questioning why that choice was made.
Sometimes I feel like heading straight for the hills
Expressing a desire to escape or find solace in nature.
Where the violet glow
Describing a picturesque scene with a violet glow during sunset.
Hits the sun setting low
Highlighting a contrast between beauty and something being wrong.
Because something ain't right
Feeling a sense of unease or discomfort during sleep.
When I'm sleeping at night
Stating that the current place is not a true home.
It ain't home
Describing personal preferences in home decoration.
I decorate with pillows and
Emphasizing self-sufficiency, including making coffee and selecting eco-friendly brands.
I press all my own coffee and
Linking orderliness to a regulated state of mind.
I only buy the brands washed in green
Acknowledging a well-managed anxiety as a consistent aspect of the speaker's life.
I find if things are orderly, my mind will act accordingly
Reiterating the desire to return to a time when feeling blue or sad.
My anxiety's a well-oiled machine
Noting an enhanced perception of greenery after being away.
I dream of going back when I'm blue as my old bike
Repetition of the longing to go back to a time of emotional struggle.
The hills are all greener now that I've been away
Reiterating the allure of greener hills after being away.
The old yard is filled with yellow flowers
Revisiting the image of a familiar yard with yellow flowers.
And I wonder why I didn't stay
Continuing to question the decision to leave.
Sometimes I feel like heading straight for the hills
