Like a Fool
Chasing Dreams, Driveways, and Foolish Love
Lyrics
Like a fool
Feeling foolish or regretful
I dreamt you chased down the car
Dreaming about a scenario where someone pursued a car
Waving a sign that made no sense
The person was holding a sign with an unclear message
I drifted in and out
Going in and out of consciousness or attention
I read the sign out loud
Reading the unclear sign aloud
Like a fool
Feeling foolish again
I held the letter stuck
Holding a letter stuck on a stick
On the end
The stick was over a pool
Of a stick over the pool
Someone trusted enough to dive into the pool after the letter
And you dove in after trusting me
Emphasizing the trust placed in the person
Trusting me
Reiterating the trust
Like a fool
Feeling foolish once more
Driveway to driveway
Going from one driveway to another
I still have briars in my clothes
Having thorny bushes stuck in clothes
Did I lay you down in those?
Uncertainty about a physical encounter in that condition
The names on the stones were all erased
Names on stones were erased or forgotten
And I thought it was you that I had chased
Mistakenly pursuing someone who wasn't there
Driveway to driveway drunk
Moving from place to place while intoxicated
I don't remember this too well
Not recalling events clearly due to drunkenness
Glad I have the scrapes to prove
Being glad for physical evidence of an event
Prove it was me who fell
Having physical injuries as proof of personal mishap
And the names were all we knew
Only remembering the names and their absence
And the names were all erased
Reiterating the erasure of names
From stage to stage we flew
Traveling from one performance to another
A drink in every hand
Holding drinks while constantly performing
My hand on your heart had been replaced
Feeling a sense of emotional displacement
And I thought it was you that I had chased
Mistaking someone for another person pursued
