Sometimes I wish I could fly
Sometimes, the speaker wishes for the ability to fly.
See the colors of stained glass frames
Expressing a desire to perceive the world's beauty through stained glass frames.
Through window panes from the sky

If I never asked myself why
Reflecting on the importance of questioning one's own motives and decisions.
I'd keep searching in crowded bars
The speaker tends to search for something meaningful in social settings like crowded bars.
Taking rideshare cars till I die
Symbolizing a continuous search for purpose, even through rideshare experiences.
I saw you from across the street
Noticing someone attractive across the street.
Then asked if I could take a seat
Approaching the person and asking to join them, possibly romantically.
I don't know your name
The speaker doesn't know the person's name yet.
But all I need
Expressing that all the speaker needs is the feeling of being close to the person.
Is the feeling of you right next to me
Emphasizing the emotional importance of being near the person.
Everything about you is unfamiliar

For all I know you're just a pretty picture

Or a drug for my sober brain

Everything about this feels so twisted

But I know I'll never feel the same
Believing that the speaker's emotions will never be the same again.
All I know is you're a pretty picture
Reiterating that the person is a captivating image or distraction.
You're the drug for my sober brain
Emphasizing the person's role as a comforting escape for the speaker's sober thoughts.
They say that people don't change
Referencing the idea that people, in general, resist change.
But if I was him when I met you now

I think I only would've let you down
Expressing self-awareness and a desire not to let the person down.
And I don't really ever wanna let you down
Reiterating the reluctance to disappoint the person.
I'm right here right now cause
