Magpie Eyes
Magpie Eyes: A Melodic Tale of Love, Time, and Missed Chances
Lyrics
September is all go and traffic is so slow
September symbolizes a busy time, and traffic reflects the slow pace of life.
I love you, don't you know?
An expression of love, seeking acknowledgment.
But memories of holding hands
Recollection of holding hands, overshadowed by future plans.
Get crowded by all of our plans
Plans and commitments overwhelming the simple, intimate moments.
Not hearing what you say
Communication breakdown, not fully understanding what the partner is saying.
The highlights of your day
Focusing on the positive aspects or highlights of the partner's day.
Rose petals blown away
Symbolic imagery of fleeting romance, like rose petals blown away.
Pictures drawn in the sand
Images drawn in the sand, representing transient moments.
Washed over by all of our plans
Plans overwhelming and erasing the pictures drawn in the sand.
Just another call to make
A routine phone call, part of maintaining a connection.
I'll stay in town till late
Commitment to staying in town until late, perhaps for the relationship.
Just one more time my magpie eyes
Desire to see things clearly, likened to a magpie's eyes focused on a prize.
Set on the prize guess I was blind
Realization of previous blindness or naivety in pursuing a goal.
Now all I want to do
A shift in priorities towards wanting more time with the partner.
Is spend more time with you
Expressing the desire to spend quality time with the loved one.
And where did those months go?
Reflection on the passage of time, wondering where the months have gone.
When you let your hair grow
Noting a change in appearance, specifically the partner letting their hair grow.
The girlfriend I'll never know
Reference to a missed opportunity or a different version of the partner.
Fall in love with scrawl on your hand
Falling in love with someone indicated by scribbles on the hand.
Some herbert who plays in a band
Describing a person (herbert) involved in a band, possibly a romantic rival.
Just another call to make
Repetition of making a routine phone call.
I'll stay in town till late
Commitment to staying in town until late, indicating dedication to the relationship.
Just one more time my magpie eyes
Repetition of the desire to see things clearly, akin to magpie eyes.
Set on the prize guess I was blind
Reiteration of past blindness in pursuing a goal or relationship.
Now all I want to do
Continued shift in priorities, expressing the desire for more time with the partner.
Is spend more time with you
Reiterating the wish to spend more time with the loved one.
