Kim
Archer Avenue Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
‘Cause our lifetime ain't that long
Thursday night is cold
And NBC can't fill the void
Kimberly, the moon is shining bright
I have wanted you all of my life
Kimberly, I'm just a lonely boy
So you like your job
Walking dogs around New York
I could give you more
Than you ever had in store
Kimberly, the moon is shining bright
I have wanted you all of my life
Kimberly, I'm just a lonely boy
All I ever wanted to know you
What is it that makes you think to start?
Making plans to go and break my heart
Kimberly, forever more, I'm yours
All it takes to please me is your smile
The song "Kim" by Archer Avenue is a romantic ballad sung from the perspective of someone yearning for the affection of a woman named Kimberly. The lyrics convey a sense of longing and loneliness, as the singer pleads for Kimberly to take a chance on him, promising to give her more than she's ever had before. The chorus repeats the name "Kimberly" and expresses how the singer has wanted her his whole life and that all he ever wanted was to know her.
The song speaks to the universal human desire to connect with someone on a deeper level and to be loved in return. The lyrics also suggest a certain level of vulnerability and insecurity on the part of the singer, as he questions whether Kimberly will break his heart. The use of the moon imagery and a Thursday night being cold adds to the atmosphere of loneliness and desperation that permeates the song.
Overall, "Kim" is a heartfelt and sincere love song that lingers with the listener long after it's over.
