Lyrics
Once on a green day I was in long grass
Reflecting on a past day spent in nature, specifically in long grass.
And you came rustling silently by
Someone approached quietly, creating a rustling sound in the grass.
I caught your long hand, fingers of satin
The narrator reached out and touched the person's hand, described as soft and smooth.
And in the long grass together we lie
The two individuals lay together in the long grass, sharing a moment.
What are you thinking, kissing me softly?
Questioning the thoughts of the other person while sharing a soft kiss.
Where does your mind go when you are here?
Asking where the person's mind goes when they are physically present.
Is loving really your only answer?
Wondering if love is the only solution or if there are deeper emotions hidden.
Or does your mind sigh, shed lonely tears?
Suggesting the possibility that the person's mind might express sadness despite their physical presence.
I can break walls down if you will help me
Expressing a willingness to break down emotional barriers with the other person's help.
If I can reach you, help you to see
Seeking to reach and help the person understand the positive aspects the narrator can offer.
All of the good things that I can give you
Promising good things that can be shared if the person is willing to accept them.
If you will take them, take them from me
Encouraging the person to take the offerings provided by the narrator.
Please, will you trust me?
Requesting trust, even though there may be potential for hurt.
Maybe I'll hurt you
Acknowledging the possibility of causing pain but expressing the ability to heal it.
But I can heal it, soon as it's done
Highlighting the narrator's capacity to mend any emotional wounds swiftly.
Give me your hand and allow me to lead you
Extending a hand and proposing to lead the person out of challenges into a brighter future.
Out of the long grass into the sun
If you are going, go very swiftly
Advising against lingering goodbyes and suggesting a quick departure.
Don't lend or say tender goodbye
Referencing uncertainty symbolized by winds, emphasizing a preference for a swift departure.
Winds of uncertainty, carry you from me
Implying that the truth might be difficult for the person to accept.
To you the truth is seeming a lie
If you are staying, try harder to see me
Removing metaphorical blindfolds, urging the person to see things clearly.
Tearing the blindfolds down from your eyes
Encouraging the person to experience the positive aspects of life, including both joy and sorrow.
Seeing the sunshine, feeling the rainfall
Emphasizing the importance of learning to live and accepting the inevitability of death.
Learn how to live and learn how to die
You are still learning, life is your teacher
Warning that failure to listen prevents understanding and personal growth.
If you don't listen, you'll never hear
Asserting that the narrator is speaking sincerely and attempting to make the person stay.
My lips are moving, I'm only speaking
Expressing the narrator's efforts to communicate and connect with the person.
To try and make you stay with me here
Make up your own mind, give me a reason
Questioning why the person is running away, emphasizing the feeling of loneliness.
Why you are running, small and alone
Stating that loneliness can be overcome by being prepared to seek and live life independently.
No one is lonely, if they are ready
Emphasizing the importance of actively looking for meaningful experiences in life.
To look for living and living alone
