My heart turns gray and shriveled now

I wanna be who I wasn't

I wanna dance in that field of blue
Yearning for carefree joy and freedom, imagining dancing in a field of blue flowers.
A child runnin' for nothin'
A nostalgic reference to childhood innocence, where running had no specific purpose or destination.
I watched you go, my feet were glued
The difficulty of letting go, feeling stuck as someone important departs.
I found God on Sunday
Finding solace and a sense of divinity on a Sunday morning, possibly through a romantic connection.
Morning, layin' next to you
Sharing an intimate moment with a significant other, experiencing a spiritual connection.
My arms stretched out like Jesus
A vivid image of vulnerability, comparing the speaker's outstretched arms to Jesus on the cross.
White sheets nail me down to the bed
The intensity of the connection, portrayed by being nailed down to the bed by white sheets.
My heaven burns on Monday
A contrast to the previous heavenly experience, suggesting a painful or difficult Monday.
Not brokenhearted, but achin' head
The speaker is not heartbroken but is experiencing a physical or emotional ache.
Wildflowers don't grow in the city
Reiteration of the idea that wildflowers, representing beauty and purity, do not thrive in the city.
I dreamt the sidewalk broke in two
A dream sequence where the speaker envisions a symbolic break in the routine represented by a broken sidewalk.
The earth was calling to me
A call from nature, urging the speaker to reconnect with the earth amid urban surroundings.
A vine stretched down Fifth Avenue
An unexpected and natural element infiltrating the cityscape, possibly representing a connection to the speaker's roots.
It came in through my window
The intrusion of nature into the speaker's personal space, possibly bringing a sense of comfort and nostalgia.
Carry me home like you used to
A plea or reminiscence for someone to provide the support and comfort the speaker once received.
