Keys
Chasing Dreams: A Song of Escape and Renewal
Lyrics
I get lonely
I experience feelings of isolation or emptiness.
I erase
I eliminate or remove things, possibly emotions or memories.
I get scared then float away
I feel afraid and then detach myself or dissociate.
The sun keeps getting lower everyday
The passage of time brings a sense of things ending or getting worse.
Then the train pulls up and there you are
A metaphorical arrival or appearance of someone important.
The reason why I write my songs
You are the inspiration behind the creation of my music.
I swear I’ll have a hit and get paid
I promise to create a successful song and earn money.
Then you lean and softly explain
You express gently and quietly.
We should just run away
Suggesting the idea of escaping together.
Maybe to the beaches maybe LA
Possibly fleeing to beaches or Los Angeles.
You’ll get a new job and I might lose some weight
You might find a new job, and I might try to lose weight.
Its a nice dream anyways
Despite challenges, it's a pleasant idea or fantasy.
Got my tattoos lost my band
I have acquired tattoos but lost my musical band.
My favorite one is on my hand
My favorite tattoo is on my hand, symbolizing your constant presence.
You’re with me everywhere that I play
You accompany me wherever I perform.
What about you its always me
Concern about the imbalance in the relationship.
Its time we listen to your dreams
It's time for me to pay attention to and support your aspirations.
Its easy to let your life slip away
It's effortless to let life slip by without purpose.
Man we should just run away
A repetition of the idea of escaping together.
Ill buy us a trailer down in the keys
Proposing to purchase a trailer home in the Florida Keys.
I’ll be that bartender with boring stories
Imagining a mundane existence as a bartender sharing uninteresting stories.
I gotta get my shit together before I’m forty
A realization to get one's life sorted before reaching the age of forty.
