Lyrics
I fell asleep at the edge of the yard
Fell asleep outdoors, possibly in a contemplative or longing state.
With the nightingales and the broken cars
In the company of nightingales and broken cars, a mix of nature and decay.
In the hope that you'd find me there someday
Hoping to be found by someone special in that secluded place.
And musicians play at a bar across the street
Live music at a nearby bar where patrons are affected emotionally.
And their lonely patrons are on their feet
The audience is moved, standing, suggesting a powerful performance.
But the night don't give up that easy
Night doesn't yield easily, symbolizing persistence or challenges.
And somewhere in a desert another bomb fell
A distant event, possibly a war, unfolds in a desert.
And the architects they were giving them hell
Architects facing challenges or criticism, possibly metaphorical.
In the boat that they sailed in 'til morning
A journey on a boat through the night, navigating until morning.
But anytime I fall asleep next to you
Expressing the positive experience of falling asleep together.
We turn off the lights and look up at the stars
Shared moments of intimacy, turning off distractions to appreciate stars.
And a streetlight slightly flickers in the dark
A subtle sign of connection - a flickering streetlight in the dark.
As I hear you breathing next to me
Awareness of the partner's presence through breathing.
And millions of people keep checking their phones
An observation of societal behavior - people engrossed in their phones.
As a Labrador keeps licking the bone
An analogy using a dog, highlighting simple pleasures and instincts.
That it hid in the earth 5 years ago
A buried bone symbolizing hidden treasures or unresolved past.
The director tells the actress to say her lines quick
Artificiality in the entertainment industry, emphasizing speed.
There ain't no time here to overthink
Pressure to adapt quickly in a rapidly changing world.
The world's changed, and it's changing so quickly
Commentary on the fast-paced and transformative nature of the world.
And can't we build a skyscraper 20 miles thick
An exaggerated idea, questioning the sustainability of modern endeavors.
And fill it up with all the shit that we bought
Criticizing consumerism and excess in the context of a skyscraper.
At the president's impeachment sale
Reference to political events, possibly with a touch of irony or humor.
But it's alright when I fall asleep next to you
Reassurance of comfort when falling asleep with a loved one.
We turn off the lights and look up at the stars
Repetition of shared moments, reinforcing the positive experience.
And a streetlight slightly flickers in the dark
Continuation of the intimate scene, with the flickering streetlight.
As the morning creeps in softly
A subtle transition to morning, acknowledging the passage of time.
Oh anytime I fall asleep next to you
Reiteration of the joy and comfort found in shared sleep.
We turn off the lights and look up at the stars
Recalling the ritual of turning off lights and stargazing together.
And a streetlight slightly flickers in the dark
Reaffirmation of the intimate atmosphere with the flickering streetlight.
As I hear you breathing next to me
Closing with the comforting sound of a loved one's breathing.
