Bombay
Fading Dreams in Bombay: A Tale of Regret and Lost Moments
Lyrics
You have no answer
You are unable to provide an answer.
You can tell her
You have the ability to inform her.
Got nothin' to say as she walks out the door
You have nothing to say as she leaves.
You caught yourself a glimpse into another world
You glimpsed into another world.
Its fading day to day, always fading away
This other world is gradually fading day by day.
I tried to warn you I would get you down
You warned that you would bring the person down.
I tried to stay away
You attempted to stay away.
But in the end I must of freaked you out
In the end, your actions might have startled or unsettled the person.
When I burned up all our money on a beach in Bombay
You spent all your money on a beach in Bombay.
Although I'm distant
Despite being distant, there is a sense of longing.
You know I miss it
You acknowledge missing something.
Missin' getting drunk counting boats on the way to the bar
Missing the experience of getting drunk and counting boats on the way to the bar.
A seasons now a year, is now a decade ago
A period of time, once a season, is now a decade in the past.
You know I'll keep the light on and break out the door
You promise to keep a light on and be ready to open the door.
I had a dream but the drink had me
You had a dream, but alcohol or excessive drinking influenced you negatively.
Now I'm wastin' on the scene
You are wasting away in the current situation or lifestyle.
But once I make it back to the shore
Once you return to the shore, the boats will have already departed from the sea.
All the boats will have left the sea
(Empty line, no specific meaning provided in the lyrics.)
I tried to warn you I would get you down
You reiterated the warning of bringing the person down.
I tried to stay away
You tried to keep your distance.
But in the end I must of freaked you out
Your actions may have unnerved or disturbed the person.
When I burned up all our money on a beach in Bombay
(Repetition of line 10) You spent all your money on a beach in Bombay.
