Step on My Old Size Nines
Embracing Life's Questions: A Daydreamer's Reflection
Lyrics
I'd like to know what it's all about?
I want to understand the purpose or meaning of life.
What's out there?
What exists in the world or beyond?
Am I gonna get old and laugh?
Will aging bring laughter about past experiences?
About something
Reflecting on finding humor in life.
Will I get me a boy or a girl?
Contemplating having a son or daughter.
Or not either?
Considering the possibility of having neither a boy nor a girl.
Will I get what I want from this world?
Questioning if personal desires will be fulfilled in life.
I'm a day dreamer
Describing oneself as someone who daydreams.
Then I watch the old couple dance
Observing an elderly couple dancing.
Step on my old size nines and I'll take you 'round
Inviting someone to step on their old-sized shoes for a dance.
I'd like to know what you're all about?
Expressing curiosity about another person's essence.
What's up there?
Asking about the higher purpose or meaning in someone else's life.
Are you gonna get old and laugh?
Wondering if the person will age joyfully and carefree.
Without a care
Anticipating a carefree laughter in the future.
Will you get you a boy or a girl
Considering if the person will have children and what gender they might be.
Or not either?
Speculating on the possibility of having neither a boy nor a girl.
Will you get what you want from this world?
Questioning if the person will achieve their desires in life.
A day dreamer?
Wondering if the person is also a daydreamer.
Then I watch the old couple dance
Observing another set of elderly individuals dancing.
Step on my old size nines and I'll take you 'round
Inviting someone else to join the speaker in a dance.
I'd love to know what we're all about
Expressing a desire to understand the collective purpose of everyone.
We all have done
Acknowledging shared experiences among all individuals.
Am I gonna get old and laugh?
Questioning if the speaker will age joyfully with a companion.
With someone?
Considering the possibility of laughing through life with someone.
Think I'll get me a boy and a girl
Planning to have both a son and a daughter.
Or not either?
Speculating on the possibility of having neither a boy nor a girl.
Will I get what I want from this world?
Questioning if personal desires will be fulfilled in life.
I'm a daydreamer
Reiterating the identity as a daydreamer.
Then I watch the old couple dance
Observing yet another pair of elderly individuals dancing.
Step on my old size nines and I'll take you 'round
Inviting others to join in the dance.
Around,
Repetition of the idea of going around in the dance.
Around, around
Emphasizing the circular nature of the dance.
Around, around,
Continuing to highlight the circular motion in the dance.
Around, around, around, around
Reinforcing the concept of going around in the dance.
Around, around, around, around
Continuation of emphasizing the circular nature of the dance.
