Floor Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I walked down to the sidewalk,
The night was crying rain
I heard thunder wandering,
Like a crash in someones tin
I can tell from the lightnings flashing,
The storm would not refrain.
The wind blew through the treetops,
And I saw some windowpane
I heard someone down in the alley,
A little voice called out my name,
I saw the ghost of our wrecked romance,
It was lost in the pouring rain.

Well I'm going
Back to the country
Up on the mountains
Up on the rising side
And if you
Should ever leave me
Send me a letter
With some love inside

Where are you married?
And in a good place?
I need to know to be satisfied.

I walked on through the darkness,
The night still pouring rain
The wind blew through the treetops,
And I saw some windowpane
I saw the ghost of our wrecked romance,
It was lost in the pouring rain
One thing I have learned in my time,
In the skies and on the ground...




All the fires changed motivation,
Yet I burned to love that sound.

Line by Line Meaning

I walked down to the sidewalk,
I ventured out into the rainy night


The night was crying rain
It was heavily raining


I heard thunder wandering,
I heard the sound of thunder moving around


Like a crash in someones tin
It sounded like a loud crash, akin to metal striking metal


I can tell from the lightnings flashing,
The frequent flashes of light from the lightning made it apparent


The storm would not refrain.
The storm was not letting up


The wind blew through the treetops,
The trees rustled as the wind blew past them


And I saw some windowpane
I glimpsed through a house's window


I heard someone down in the alley,
I heard someone calling out from the alley


A little voice called out my name,
It was a meek voice that called for me


I saw the ghost of our wrecked romance,
I saw a phantom of our failed relationship


It was lost in the pouring rain.
It was hard to see amongst the constant deluge of water


Well I'm going
I'm leaving


Back to the country
Returning to the rural landscape


Up on the mountains
Going up towards the mountaintops


Up on the rising side
Climbing up towards the upward slope


And if you
In case


Should ever leave me
You leave me at some point


Send me a letter
Please send me a letter


With some love inside
With an affectionate message


Where are you married?
Are you currently married?


And in a good place?
Are you happy?


I need to know to be satisfied.
I need to know for my own peace of mind.


I walked on through the darkness,
I continued walking through the nighttime


The night still pouring rain
It was still heavily raining


One thing I have learned in my time,
I have come to realize something throughout my experience


In the skies and on the ground...
From above and from below


All the fires changed motivation,
All the passions have undergone transformation


Yet I burned to love that sound.
I still long to embrace that feeling.
