Canned Sardines
Whimsical Symphony of Love and Courage
Lyrics
He lays awake at night
Contemplating during the night without sleep.
She resides in his mind
The person he's thinking about occupies his thoughts.
Clears his head and leaves the house
Clears his mind and leaves his home.
Runs through the rain to put it all down
Running in the rain to express or address something.
He feels like he's playing the fool
Experiencing a sense of foolishness.
A feeling that's long overdue
A long-overdue feeling of being a fool.
Hates to say it but he knows that when he's with her
Despite hesitations, acknowledges a certain truth when with her.
Riding bikes in October
Recalling a specific memory of riding bikes in October.
Fingers nearly freezing
Fingers nearly freezing implies cold weather during the bike ride.
Grocery shopping at midnight
Engaging in grocery shopping at an unusual time, midnight.
Climbing over quartzite

Slowly getting the courage
Gradually gaining the courage to face challenges or confess feelings.
She lays sound asleep
She is peacefully asleep, unaware of his thoughts.
Dreaming of canned sardines

Safe to say it's 'cause they never have tried

He feels like he's playing the fool
Reiterating the feeling of being a fool.
A feeling that's long overdue
Reemphasizing a long-overdue sense of foolishness.
Hates to say it but he knows that when he's with her
Despite reservations, acknowledging a truth when in her presence.
