Lyrics

I'm coming out to play

I'm expressing a readiness to engage or socialize

So will you meet me by the shifting of the light

Asking if you'll join me in a location where light is changing, possibly outdoors

On the trees and the invention of no purpose between us

Noting the lack of defined purpose between us, emphasizing an abstract connection

I know it's far-fetched

Acknowledging that the idea may seem unlikely or unrealistic

And time has probably erased me from your memory

Recognizing the impact of time on our connection

With your busy life, your job, your wife, your kids, and you don't play anymore

Highlighting the busyness of life and the potential neglect of playfulness

We are in a bar

Describing a setting in a bar, possibly the current location

And in my mind, I see the men dragging boats

Imagining scenes of men moving boats to the sea, creating a mental landscape

Out to the sea from the beach

Continuing the mental imagery of boats being taken to the sea from the beach

And if I was a junkie

Contemplating a hypothetical situation of drug use

I would say warm the spoon

Using drug-related imagery to express a desire to stay in the current situation

'Cause I really don't want to leave this room again

Expressing a reluctance to leave the present environment

But if you do remember

Addressing the possibility of the listener remembering and requesting a meeting

Please meet me on the corner, out by the lake tonight

Suggesting a specific meeting place near a lake and a streetlamp

You know where the streetlamp turns to silver columns, like a palace in the abyss

Describing the meeting place with vivid imagery

Can you still do the dance on the reflection of the hall

Asking if a certain dance move can still be performed in a reflective surface

To the beat of the changing traffic light, shall we race it under the bridge once more

Proposing a race under a bridge, invoking a sense of nostalgia

We are in a bar

Repeating the setting in a bar, emphasizing its significance

And in my mind, I see the men dragging boats

Revisiting the mental image of men moving boats to the sea

Out to the sea from the beach

Reiterating the imagery of boats being taken to the sea from the beach

And if I was a junkie

Continuing the contemplation of a hypothetical drug-related scenario

I would say warm the spoon

Using drug-related imagery to express a desire to stay in the current situation

'Cause I really don't want to leave this room again

Expressing a reluctance to leave the present environment

Come on friend

Encouraging a friend to join for a meeting

It's time to meet up before we both forget

Highlighting the importance of meeting before memories fade

Who we were and we only remember who we are

Reflecting on identity and the journey that has brought us to the present

And what has made us come this far

Considering the factors that have contributed to our current state

One more time before the sun burns away our personalities

Emphasizing the urgency of meeting before external factors alter us

We are gathered between coincidence

Describing a gathering between chance and coping mechanisms

And it's our only way to cope before the blazing of the light

Highlighting coping mechanisms before confronting challenges

We are in a bar

Reiterating the setting in a bar, emphasizing its significance

And in my mind, I see the men dragging boats

Revisiting the mental image of men moving boats to the sea

Out to the sea from the beach

Reiterating the imagery of boats being taken to the sea from the beach

And if I was a junkie

Continuing the contemplation of a hypothetical drug-related scenario

I would say warm the spoon

Using drug-related imagery to express a desire to stay in the current situation

'Cause I really don't want to leave this room again

Expressing a reluctance to leave the present environment
