Who We Are
Julian Moon Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Rent a fixer up by the stream.
Playing my guitar on the rope swing.
Doing cartwheels in a clover meadow.
Climbing up trees where we get real high.
Making out in a core of a weepy willow.
Then I open my eyes and I know that it will never be ours no it's not our fault it's the fault in our stars.
All because of one degree to far.
Slowly search your pockets for your keys while I count the freckles on your cheeks keep pictures of our vows in a shoe box.
Next to where I pair your mitchmatched socks.
Blow me a kiss as the laundry drys.
Wave you hello from the kitchen window.
Don't wanna open my eyes cause I know that it will never be ours no it's not our fault it's the fault in our stars.
All because of one degree to far.
That won't be who we are.
When my weary eyes are closing I get lost ohhh and I doze off for a moment.
I never wanted to end cause I know that it will never be ours no it's not our fault it's the fault in our stars all because of one degree to far.
That won't be who we are, we are, we are
The lyrics of Julian Moon's "Who We Are" portray a longing for a life together with someone special, imagining different scenarios where they can enjoy each other's company and create memories. The singer's wishes are simple yet profound, as they dream of falling asleep under the sheets with their loved one, renting a house by the stream, playing music on a rope swing, doing cartwheels in a clover meadow, and making out in the core of a weepy willow. However, the dream is disrupted by the reality that they cannot be together, and the singer acknowledges that it's not a matter of their own fault, but something beyond their control, "the fault in our stars," a reference to the novel by John Green. Despite the bittersweet tone and the realization that they cannot have what they want, the singer reassures themselves that they will still be who they are, and the love they share will endure beyond the barriers that separate them.
The song is a poignant reflection on the power of love and the pain of separation, evoking a sense of nostalgia and hope in equal measure. The vivid imagery and the emotional depth of the lyrics are enhanced by the delicate melody and the gentle instrumentation, creating a dreamy atmosphere that matches the mood of the lyrics.
Line by Line Meaning
I would really love to fall asleep with you right next to me under the sheets.
Desiring to sleep beside you with great passion under the covers.
Rent a fixer up by the stream.
Lease an old place close to the river that needs renovation.
Playing my guitar on the rope swing.
Strumming my musical instrument while swinging on a rope.
Doing cartwheels in a clover meadow.
Performing gymnastic moves in a lush meadow of clovers.
Climbing up trees where we get real high.
Scaling trunk to great heights where we feel euphoric.
Making out in a core of a weepy willow.
Kissing passionately inside the heart of a teary-eyed willow tree.
Then I open my eyes and I know that it will never be ours no it's not our fault it's the fault in our stars.
Realizing that we can never have these things as it's not our fault but simply due to fate.
All because of one degree to far.
All resulting from a slight error in direction or timing.
That won't be who we are.
That person we dreamt to be in those moments will not be who we truly are.
Slowly search your pockets for your keys while I count the freckles on your cheeks keep pictures of our vows in a shoe box.
Watching you search for keys, I count the tiny specks on your face; we store our marital promises in a shoe container.
Next to where I pair your mitchmatched socks.
Beside where I match up and prepare your unmatched socks.
Blow me a kiss as the laundry drys.
Send me a kiss whilst our clothes dry.
Wave you hello from the kitchen window.
Salute you from the kitchen table through the window.
Don't wanna open my eyes cause I know that it will never be ours no it's not our fault it's the fault in our stars.
Refusing to open my eyes since I know we cannot have this; it's not our fault but again fate has led to this.
All because of one degree to far.
All because of a slight incorrectness in direction or timing.
That won't be who we are.
What we wish to be in those moments will not define us forever.
When my weary eyes are closing I get lost ohhh and I doze off for a moment.
As my tired mind begins to shut down, I drift away and get lost in deep thought.
I never wanted to end cause I know that it will never be ours no it's not our fault it's the fault in our stars all because of one degree to far.
Not wanting our beautiful moment to end, understanding that it will never be ours due to fate leading our destiny in another direction.
That won't be who we are, we are, we are
The person we wish to be in that scenario is not a reflection of who we are as individuals at our core.
