Standing on the back of that train with your open arms
Standing on the back of the train with open arms, possibly expressing a sense of freedom or openness.
Looking at the big sky listening to the smoke alarm
Observing the vast sky while hearing a smoke alarm, suggesting a contrast between tranquility and urgency.
If you're wondering what happened well your heart must have jumped the track
Suggesting a disruption or shift in the speaker's life; heart metaphorically jumping the track.
You put your lips out in the wind and you hope you get some kissing back
Putting oneself out there with the hope of receiving affection or love in return.
Every night you get the same old dream
Recurring dreams with a consistent theme.
There's a spoon full of honey where your heart should be
Describing a dream where the heart is replaced by honey, possibly symbolizing sweetness or emotional fulfillment.
And there's honey dripping off of your spoon
Repetition emphasizing the abundance of honey in the dream, reinforcing its significance.
Honey dripping off of your spoon
-Honey dripping off of your spoon
-Honey dripping off of your spoon
-Yeah white skin freckles big heart candy green eyes
Describing physical features of someone, possibly the red-headed woman mentioned later.
I bet you wish you had your red-headed woman back sometime
Expressing a desire to have someone back, indicating a sense of loss or regret.
Yeah the last thing you got was a left handed letter
Receiving a letter in an unconventional manner, possibly indicating surprise or confusion.

Reiteration of recurring dreams.
There's a spoon full of honey where your heart should be
Repetition emphasizing the presence of honey in the dream, continuing the theme.

-And don't you know the spoon's getting low
Suggesting a diminishing supply of honey in the dream, possibly reflecting a sense of loss or depletion.
You worry and you wonder just where all the honey goes
Expressing concern about the diminishing honey and wondering where it goes.
And you're hoping and you're praying real hard
Hoping and praying for a positive outcome, introducing the idea of a heavenly "honey jar."
If you will it you can wish it if heaven has a honey jar
