Lyrics
Take the flowers you're bearing
Addressing someone to take the flowers they are carrying
And do what else you want to do
Encouraging the person to do whatever they desire with the flowers
To live by the sea just me and you
Expressing a desire to live by the sea with the addressed person
And as the time keeps passing
Reflecting on the passage of time
She doesn't know what to say
Describing a situation where someone is at a loss for words
Guess I'll stay here again and again
Indicating a decision to stay in a place repeatedly
And it's a sad sad story
Introducing the theme of a sad story
About the man who sold the world
Referring to a man who sold the world, suggesting a significant event or change
And it's a mad fun story
Describing the story as both sad and fun
About the man that we all know
Referring to a well-known man in the narrative
Suppose you carry another
Suggesting the presence of another burden or responsibility
Ball that's everywhere
Imagining the burden being carried everywhere
Suppose you burry
Suggesting the act of burying another friend, possibly symbolizing loss
Another friend
Continuing the theme of burying a friend
Suppose you're playing
Suggesting engagement in an activity for enjoyment
And you're just here have your fun
Expressing the idea of having fun while playing
Then I would tell the world
Stating an intention to share the experience with the world
And everyone
Extending the desire to share with everyone
And it's a sad sad story
Reiterating the theme of a sad story
About the man who sold the world
Revisiting the man who sold the world in the context of sadness
And it's a mad fun story
Reaffirming the story's dual nature of being sad and fun
About the man that we all know
Repeating the mention of a well-known man in the narrative
And it's a sad sad story
Echoing the theme of a sad story once again
About the man who sold the world
Returning to the man who sold the world in a sad context
And it's a mad fun story
Recalling the dual nature of the story, being both sad and fun
About the man that we all know
Reiterating the mention of a well-known man in the narrative
