Lyrics
Oh baby wont you walk my way
Expressing a desire for the person to approach or be closer.
I miss your eyes in the summer
Nostalgic longing for the warmth and beauty of the person's eyes during summer.
And the things that you'd say
Missing the person's words and conversations.
Oh dear it was a quaint affair
Reflecting on a past romantic relationship, describing it as charming.
Though I never look back
Choosing not to dwell on the past but acknowledging its impact.
Its not the same
Feeling a sense of emptiness or difference when the person is not around.
When you're not here
Expressing the impact of the person's absence on the current experience.
Never met somebody quite like you
Highlighting the uniqueness of the person and the impression they left.
You remind of the girls
Drawing a connection between the person and memories of high school.
Smoking darts at my high school
Recalling the image of girls smoking and associating it with the person.
But oh baby wont you walk on by
Desiring the person to pass by or be present.
I wish you'd walk on by
Reiterating the wish for the person to move on without stopping.
Oh girl don't you remember when
Recalling a shared moment when the person hung pictures in the narrator's basement.
You hung your polaroid pictures
Evoking a sense of nostalgia and attachment to specific memories.
On the wall in my basement
Providing details about the location (basement) and the act of displaying Polaroid pictures.
Well I heard you went away in June
Informing about the person's departure in June, possibly indicating a significant event.
Flooding the streets of paris
Using metaphorical language to describe the person's impact on the streets of Paris.
With your eyes and a full moon
Associating the person with captivating eyes and a full moon.
Now and then
Indicating sporadic thoughts about the person.
I hear her singing songs
Referencing someone else singing about their enduring love.
About the fellow she loves
Describing the duration of the person's love through another character's songs.
And how she's loved him for so long
Expressing a repeated desire for the person to pass by without stopping.
But oh baby wont you walk on by
Reiterating the longing for the person to move on without lingering.
I wish you'd walk on by
Assuring the person not to worry about the narrator.
But don't you worry about me
Expressing constant thoughts about the person.
I think about you endlessly
Conveying a reluctance to wake up from a dream involving the person.
Don't want to wake up
Implying a patient wait for love.
From this dream
Expressing a desire for a shared experience with the person.
I've waited and waited
Emphasizing the narrator's enduring patience in love.
So patiently love
Suggesting that the person has likely heard similar expressions of love before.
I bet you've heard it all before
Using imagery of falling to convey an easy and comfortable connection.
Fall down somewhere easy
Inviting the person to fall down somewhere, indicating a desire for intimacy.
Fall down somewhere with me
Extending an invitation for shared experiences and closeness.
