I'd Rather Be Wine Drunk
Embracing Intoxication: A Toast to Love and Life
Lyrics
I would rather be wine drunk
Desires being intoxicated with wine
Than sober and clear
Prefers the state of being drunk over sobriety
Under these streetlights and
Describes the setting under streetlights
Glowing with you here
Expresses a sense of radiance or warmth with a companion
You are my little furnace
Endearing metaphor for the companion, providing warmth
You are my favorite song and
Refers to the companion as a favorite song, a source of joy
We're dancing in public
Indicates public display of affection, possibly dancing
To the sounds of our town
Enjoying the atmosphere and sounds of their town
To the traffic rolling down the I
Specific mention of traffic on the interstate (I)
I would rather be wine drunk
Reiteration of the preference for being intoxicated
Than sober and clear
Reaffirms the choice of being drunk over being clear-headed
When we're together
Emphasizes the joy of being together
In weather so dear and
Describes pleasant weather during their time together
The ending so near and
Suggests the closeness of an end, possibly a bittersweet moment
All I want is right here
Expresses contentment with the current situation
