1995
Judy Blank Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Of green, it's a miracle I found you
You're everything and in between, I know that in my head
But I keep on looking for a fatal flaw, or even just a small one
Trying to justify this gypsy heart
I haven't found one yet
Maybe I'm too young to grow old with you
And I know I might regret it if I let this love slip through
But I'm afraid I am too young to grow old with you
When I see the horizon there's a long straight line
Where the ocean meets the sky
And I won; t be ready to tie you down
Till I find out what's behind
I will send you letters and a photograph
Will you keep 'em in your pocket?
So I know you will remember me
When I come back down the line
Maybe I'm too young to grow old with you
I don't wanna feel it, but sometimes I do
And I know I might regret it if I let this love slip through
But I'm afraid I am too young to grow old with you

Line by Line Meaning
You're a four leaf clover in a field
You are rare and special in a world full of common things
Of green, it's a miracle I found you
Amongst all these meaningless things, I am lucky to have found you
You're everything and in between, I know that in my head
You are complete and flawless, I am aware of this fact
But I keep on looking for a fatal flaw, or even just a small one
Despite knowing you are perfect, I continuously search for a reason not to love you
Trying to justify this gypsy heart
I am trying to rationalize my wandering nature
I haven't found one yet
So far, I have not been able to find any reason not to love you
Maybe I'm too young to grow old with you
Perhaps, I am not mature enough to commit to you for life
I don't wanna feel it, but sometimes I do
I do not want to acknowledge my doubts, but they still arise sometimes
And I know I might regret it if I let this love slip through
I am aware that if I let go of this love, I may regret it in the future
But I'm afraid I am too young to grow old with you
However, I am scared that I am not ready for a committed life-long relationship with you
When I see the horizon there's a long straight line
The horizon appears straight and unchanging
Where the ocean meets the sky
At the point where the vast body of water meets the vast sky
And I won't be ready to tie you down
At this moment, I am not ready to commit and restrict your freedom
Till I find out what's behind
Until I discover what lies beyond, I will not tie you down
I will send you letters and a photograph
I will communicate with you through snail-mail and a picture
Will you keep 'em in your pocket?
Will you keep the letters and picture with you at all times?
So I know you will remember me
So that I am assured that you will not forget me
When I come back down the line
When I return to you in person
