Lyrics
You went out in search of green
You went out seeking a natural environment abundant with lush vegetation.
Mountain lakes calm and serene
Peaceful and undisturbed lakes in the mountains that invoke tranquility.
Nature’s natural looking glass
The reflection of nature, resembling a mirror, likely referring to the lakes or surroundings.
To see what you could see
To explore and experience what the surroundings had to offer.
You left town on two left feet
Departing clumsily or awkwardly.
Meandering through fields and hills
Wandering aimlessly through open areas and elevated land.
I thought that I could lead you home
Believing that guidance to return home could be provided.
But water flows where it will
Accepting the unpredictable course of nature, similar to water.
Water flows where it will
Reiteration of the unpredictable nature of water's flow.
Some things I can never change
Acceptance of certain unchangeable aspects of life such as fundamental traits.
Like blood and minds and fingerprints
Mentions enduring aspects like blood ties, thoughts, and unique identities.
I hope that you come back to me
An expressed desire for the person to return.
I hope that you come back again
A wish for the person to revisit or return once more.
Like blood and minds and fingerprints
Reiteration of enduring aspects like blood ties, thoughts, and unique identities.
You say you need the mountain air
The person feels a need for fresh and pure mountain air.
To find your breath, but you don’t see
Desiring to rediscover one's breath, possibly implying a need for rejuvenation.
That you’ve been breathing all along
Not realizing that the essence of life has been present all along in the familiar surroundings.
Listen to the sound that it keeps
Advising to listen closely to the inherent sounds of the environment.
The only way to breathe is deep
Stating that true breathing requires deep inhalation, possibly metaphorical for fully experiencing life.
Some things I can never change
Restating acceptance of unalterable aspects of existence.
Like blood and minds and fingerprints
Repetition of enduring elements such as blood ties, thoughts, and unique identities.
I hope that you come back to me
Expressing hope for the person's return.
I hope that you come back again
Desiring for the person to come back once more.
Some things I can never change
Reiteration of accepting unchangeable circumstances.
The words that flew around our heads
Indicating the persistence of past conversations or conflicts.
I hope that you find what you need
Wishing for the person to discover what they are seeking.
I hope that you come back again
Hoping for the person's return or revisiting.
Like blood and minds and fingerprints
Reiteration of enduring elements like blood ties, thoughts, and unique identities.
My love will never change
An affirmation of unchanging love despite circumstances.
