Boat On The Water
Navigating Love's Turbulence: Skinny Dippers' Melodic Tale
Lyrics
Have you seen her lately 'round here
Expressing awareness of someone's recent presence in the vicinity.
I know what she needs
Claiming understanding of the person's needs.
I've been searching tirelessly
Conveying persistent efforts in searching for something or someone.
Won't you come to me
An invitation or plea for the person to come closer.
'Cause she's floating away,
Describing the person as drifting away or becoming distant.
'Till I find the words to say..how...
Expressing a struggle to articulate one's feelings or thoughts.
You were the one that I could wait for
Recalling a person who was worth waiting for.
One that I could stay for
Emphasizing the person's significance as someone worth staying for.
One that I'd be swayed towards
Highlighting the person's influence in swaying emotions.
Like a boat out on the water
Metaphorically likening the person to a boat on the water.
The place where I first saw her
Referencing a specific location where the speaker first saw the person.
Where I knew I could love her
Indicating the realization of the potential for love.
Driving to the ocean in your mother's car it's late
Describing a journey to the ocean in a car, possibly with nostalgic undertones.
Graciously you've picked me up
Expressing gratitude for the person picking the speaker up.
But drunkenly I rave
Acknowledging intoxicated speech or behavior.
Staggering towards the ocean but you guide us from my side
Depicting a scene of stumbling towards the ocean with the person's guidance.
I tell you, you look amazing but it starts it a fight
Complimenting the person's appearance but leading to a conflict.
Have I turned you away
Possibly questioning if the speaker's actions have pushed the person away.
Or are you just afraid you'll stay… with me
Speculating on whether fear is hindering the person from staying in the relationship.
You were the one that I could wait for
Reiterating the significance of the person as someone worth waiting for.
One that I could stay for
Stressing the person's importance as someone worth staying for.
One that I'd be swayed towards
Reaffirming the person's influence in swaying emotions.
Like a boat out on the water
Repeating the metaphor of the person as a boat on the water.
The place where I first saw her
Recalling the specific location where the speaker first saw the person.
Where I knew I could love her
Reiterating the realization of the potential for love.
New year's parties lending us more time
Referencing New Year's parties as moments that extend time.
Champagne covered courage late at night
Describing courage fueled by champagne in the late hours.
Finally seeing someone that you love
Expressing the joy of finally seeing a loved one.
Makes it feel like waiting wasn't tough at all
Conveying that waiting feels insignificant in the presence of someone loved.
