Big Friday
Bonnie Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You saved me from melting, baby
You saved me from stinging and being holed up
And braking in snow and killing more
And over spilling my runneth cup

You had light in your hands and your eyes closed
You had movement out of my sight
You wore no shoes and ate like a leopard
And slept with your legs apart every night

And if I had to live
This is what it should be
To have such a woman with me

When tidal wave hit and our house was in splinters
I thought you had took all you had to take
But you snuggled to me on the ground in the winter
And your breath smelled like honey in the frosty air wake

And if I had to live




This is what it should be
To have such a woman with me

Line by Line Meaning

You saved me from melting, baby
You rescued me from losing my cool or falling apart, my dear


You saved me from stinging and being holed up
You protected me from getting hurt or feeling trapped


And braking in snow and killing more
And preventing me from skidding and causing harm to myself or others in the snow


And over spilling my runneth cup
And stopping me from overflowing or losing control


You had light in your hands and your eyes closed
You seemed to possess a flame or a guiding source, holding it in your hand, yet shutting your eyes to distractions


You had movement out of my sight
You had the ability to move or work in ways that I couldn't see or comprehend


You wore no shoes and ate like a leopard
You went barefoot and consumed food much like a wild animal would


And slept with your legs apart every night
And slept in a position that was unreserved and open


And if I had to live This is what it should be To have such a woman with me
And if I had to endure this life, I would want it to be with someone like you, a woman who has saved and protected me, possessed a light and hidden movements, slept unguarded and weathered the storm with me


When tidal wave hit and our house was in splinters
When a massive force had hit us and destroyed our home


I thought you had took all you had to take
I believed you had endured all you could bear


But you snuggled to me on the ground in the winter
But you huddled close to me in the winter elements


And your breath smelled like honey in the frosty air wake
And your breath had a sweet smell like honey in the chilly, winter breeze
