Bikes
Nostalgic Flight of Young Hearts: Bikes by Tasha Baxter
Lyrics
Do you remember
Reflecting on a past experience or relationship
How it used to be
Recalling how things were in the past
Before you moved mountains and cities
Acknowledging significant changes made
When you were living next door to me
Referencing proximity in the past
We played hide and seek
Remembering childhood games
But I always wanted to be found
Expressing a desire for attention
You'd call me silly names
Recalling playful interactions
But I welcomed your childish ways
Appreciating innocence and simplicity
We were king and queen
Describing a strong, equal partnership
We made the rules
Emphasizing self-made rules
We lived our dreams
Revisiting shared aspirations
We were completely free
Highlighting a sense of freedom
Riding our bikes to the end of the street
Remembering carefree bike rides
Closing my eyes holding on tight
Evoking a sense of vulnerability and trust
Not looking left and not looking right
Describing a reckless attitude
Risking our lives running red lights
Symbolizing taking risks and living on the edge
Young hearts taking to flight
Portraying youthful enthusiasm and courage
Closing my eyes holding on tight
Repeating the theme of vulnerability
Not looking left and not looking right
Reiterating the disregard for caution
Risking our lives running red lights
Emphasizing the thrill of living dangerously
Young hearts taking to flight
Reaffirming youthful bravery
Do you remember
Returning to the theme of reminiscence
The smell of the air
Recalling sensory details from the past
When we were none the wiser
Describing a carefree attitude in love
Too in love to care
Emphasizing the intensity of love
We'd be out all night
Revisiting carefree nights
Illuminated by the moon
Setting a romantic scene
Our bare skin brushing the wind
Describing a sense of freedom and connection
City lights in black and white
Depicting a cityscape in memory
We were king and queen
Reiterating the strength of the partnership
We made the rules
Emphasizing self-made rules in love
We lived our dreams
Revisiting shared dreams and aspirations
We were completely free
Highlighting a sense of freedom and completeness
Riding our bikes
Repeating the theme of carefree bike rides
To the end of the street
Reiterating the destination of the street
Closing my eyes holding on tight
Repeating the theme of vulnerability during rides
Not looking left and not looking right
Emphasizing the disregard for caution
Risking our lives running red lights
Reiterating the thrill of living dangerously
Young hearts taking to flight
Reaffirming the theme of youthful courage
