Rolling Dreams: A Love Story under Streetlights
Lyrics
I watch you dance under streetlights
I observe you dancing beneath the streetlights.
Your favourite grey beanie on
You're wearing your favorite grey beanie.
You light up a lucky strike
You light a Lucky Strike cigarette.
You kiss me like you're off to win a fight
You kiss me passionately as if you're prepared for a battle.
The taste of sweet smoke
The flavor of the smoke is sweet.
A taste I wish I didn't like
The taste is pleasant, but I wish I didn't enjoy it.
I stand small next to you
I feel small in comparison to you.
You stand tall, six foot two
You're tall, standing at six feet two inches.
Everyone we pass just looks at you
People we pass notice you, drawing attention.
And I just stare through
Meanwhile, I look past everything.
It's rolled cigarettes dreaming
We are dreaming while smoking rolled cigarettes.
Fallen leaves leaving
Leaves have fallen, signifying change.
Yellow, I want you so bad
I intensely desire you, represented by the color yellow.
Want you till I don't anymore
I want you until I no longer feel that way.
Waiting till we're so bored
We wait until we're incredibly bored.
So bored
Repeated emphasis on extreme boredom.
So bored
-Parts of my skin have been charred
Parts of my skin bear marks from past hardships.
From the flames of my past
Those marks are a result of my past struggles and pain.
And you kiss all of my scars
You lovingly kiss all of my scars.
I know that you'll just add your mark but
I know you'll also leave your mark on me.
I stand small next to you
Once again, I feel small beside your presence.
You stand tall, six foot two
You stand tall at six foot two.
Everyone we pass just looks at you
Others notice and gaze at you as we pass.
And I just stare through
I, however, look past everything around us.
It's rolled cigarettes dreaming
We continue dreaming while smoking rolled cigarettes.
Fallen leaves leaving
Similar to fallen leaves, we are departing or changing.
Yellow, I want you so bad
Intense desire for you, represented by the color yellow.
Want you till I don't anymore
My longing for you persists until it doesn't.
Waiting till we're so bored
We wait until we're incredibly bored.
So bored
Repeated emphasis on extreme boredom.
So bored
-We were in the sky with diamonds
A reference to being in an altered state, akin to "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds."
We made believe
We pretended or imagined things.
We believed
We had beliefs or convictions.
I will always want you
I will always desire you.
I'll never know how to
I will never understand how not to want you.
Not want you
It's challenging for me not to long for you.
And I will always want you
I will always desire you.
Want you
Repetition emphasizing the ongoing desire.
Want you
-It's rolled cigarettes dreaming
We are dreaming while smoking rolled cigarettes.
Fallen leaves leaving
Similar to fallen leaves, we are departing or changing.
Yellow, I want you so bad
Intense desire for you, represented by the color yellow.
Want you till I don't anymore
I long for you until I no longer do.
Waiting till we're so bored
We wait until we're incredibly bored.
So bored
Repeated emphasis on extreme boredom.
So bored
