Iced Tea
A Love Painted in Desert Skies: Shelby Lynne's Iced Tea
Lyrics
You look like an art piece floating in my mind
You are like a beautiful piece of art that exists in my thoughts.
And I am told fortunes are gold
There is a belief that fortunes or valuable things are as precious as gold.
Fortunes are gold.
Reiteration of the idea that fortunes are as precious as gold.
Bucket loads of gratitude I feel for you
I have a significant amount of gratitude for you, symbolized as a bucket load.
You are fine. I pour you like wine, pour you like wine.
You are exquisite, and I cherish you deeply, comparing it to pouring fine wine.
As the desert sky turns into shadow light
Describing a transition from daylight to evening in the desert sky.
Beside me on my bed tonight
You are beside me on my bed tonight, suggesting physical presence and intimacy.
Your love is the only light I see
Your love is the guiding light in my life, the only brightness I perceive.
You feel like the only home I've ever known
You make me feel like I've found my true home, a place of belonging.
And I am shown
An acknowledgment that the speaker is being made aware or enlightened about something.
Tonight.
Referencing the current evening or moment in time.
You seem like a memory that I've always known
You seem like a familiar and cherished memory that has always been a part of me.
And it has shown as long as I go, long as I go.
This familiarity continues to be evident as long as the speaker exists.
Safe and lost forever in a fantasy
Feeling secure and forever lost in an imaginative and dreamlike state.
Tosses and turns. My heart never yearns. My heart never yearns.
Contrasting the calmness of the heart with the absence of yearning or desire.
There's no better place to be than in your eyes.
Expressing that being in the eyes of the person is the best place to be.
There's no other sight to see
No other vision is as significant or meaningful as the person being observed.
You're the cornbread and iced tea of life.
Comparing the person to essential and comforting elements like cornbread and iced tea in life.
You feel like the only home I've ever known
Reiterating the feeling of finding a true home in the person.
And I am shown tonight
Repeating the idea of being enlightened or shown something valuable tonight.
Oh how I'm shown
A reaffirmation of being shown something important during this evening.
Goodnight.
Wishing a good night, possibly concluding the experience mentioned in the lyrics.
