Lyrics
Da da duh duh da da duh duh dun da duh
Introduction, possibly representing a musical interlude or sound pattern.
Sunflowers upon your dress
Reference to sunflowers on someone's dress, setting the scene for a memory or experience.
Remind me of the morning when we both first met
Recollection of the first meeting, where sunflowers on the dress trigger memories.
You'd rode your bike to the coffee shop you'd once been in
Describing the moment when the person rode a bike to a coffee shop.
Your eyes were smiling and your hair was wet
Details about the person's appearance: smiling eyes and wet hair.
Oh how could someone pure like you love someone like me
Expressing disbelief or self-doubt about being loved by someone pure and named Emily.
Oh how could someone pure like you love someone like me
-Someone like me oh Emily
-How could someone pure like you oh Emily
-Love someone like me oh Emily
-Don't mean to damage I will take you for granted I will
Acknowledging potential harm or taking the relationship for granted.
Make you believe it all could be the perfect one you want to love
Promising a perfect love despite personal struggles and demons.
I'm fairly damaged, I'm fighting demons You're an obsession
Admitting personal issues and the need for solitude away from a town and a specific place related to memories.
I think I need to be completely alone for a while
-Thousands of miles from your smile
-Away from that town, from that street that we'd clown on
-I'm your obsession you'll swim in and drown from
-I'm just a kid, I'm not the one you need
Self-identification as a kid and acknowledgment that the person is the first love but not necessarily the last.
You're just the first I loved, you're not the last I'll see
-Leave you alone, we'll readjust in time
-Pass in dreams and offer smiles
-How could someone pure like you love someone like me
Reiteration of the disbelief about being loved by someone pure like Emily.
Someone like me oh Emily
-I'm just a kid, I'm not the one you need
Repetition of the theme of being a kid and the first love not being the last, coupled with the idea of leaving and readjusting.
You're just the first I loved, you're not the last I'll see
-Leave you alone, we'll readjust in time
-Pass in dreams and offer smiles
-How could someone pure like you love someone like me oh Emily
Continued expression of disbelief about being loved by someone like Emily.
Sunflowers upon your dress
Reiteration of sunflowers triggering memories of the first meeting, emphasizing details like riding a bike and appearance.
Remind me of the morning when we both first met
-You'd rode your bike to the coffee shop you'd once been in
-Your eyes were smiling and your hair was wet
-Completely alone for a while
Repetition of the desire for solitude, distancing from a smile and a town, and re-emphasizing the theme of being an obsession.
Thousands of miles from your smile
-Away from that town, from that street that we'd clown on
-I'm your obsession you'll swim in and drown from
-I need to be completely alone for a while
-Thousands of miles from your smile
-Away from that town, from that street that we'd clown on
-I'm your obsession you'll swim in and drown from
-Oh Emily
Final mention of Emily, possibly summing up the emotional tone of the song.
