She says you’re her, but you don’t even know her, she says you’re her, but you don’t even know her. You’re worlds apart and all you think about is the lazy days you had.
I’ve been thinking ‘bout the times we slept together
You’ve been thinking ‘bout the times we slept together
Maybe we should jump back into bed.
And you smile wider than a harp when we’re together I’ll smile wider than a harp when we’re together, maybe we should smile apart instead.
Take my hand you’ll understand the reasons that we fought the lie and you and I could put aside the reasons that we sought to hide.
The lazy days we had….
Lazy Days
Keston Cobblers Club Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'll post them in a diving bell
and hope that it will find you well, we'll see.
And you foresaw the way I'd feel,
you wrote it in an open reel,
to watch when I am underwhelmed at sea.
She says you're her, but you don't even know her,
You're worlds apart and all you think about
is the lazy days you had.
I've been thinking ‘bout the time we slept together
You've been thinking ‘bout the time we slept together
Maybe we should jump back into bed.
And you smile wider than a harp when we're together
I'll smile wider than a harp when we're together,
maybe we should smile apart instead.
Take my hand you'll understand the reasons
that we fought the lie and
you and I could put aside the reasons that we sought to hide.
The lazy days we had….
The song "Lazy Days" by Keston Cobblers Club is a whimsical and playful tune that explores themes of nostalgia, longing, and the complexities of relationships. The first verse, "Sunday spree are out for sale, I'll post them in a diving bell and hope that it will find you well, we'll see," suggests a longing to connect with someone who may be far away, or perhaps no longer in the picture. The imagery of mailing a "diving bell" is both playful and somewhat absurd, but it conveys a sense of hope and possibility.
The second half of the verse, "And you foresaw the way I'd feel, you wrote it in an open reel, to watch when I am underwhelmed at sea," hints at a deeper sense of connection between the singer and the person they are addressing. The use of the phrase "underwhelmed at sea" suggests a feeling of being adrift or lost, and the idea that someone else can understand and anticipate those feelings is both comforting and romantic.
The chorus of the song, "She says you're her, but you don't even know her, you're worlds apart and all you think about is the lazy days you had," contrasts the romantic ideal of a deep connection with the reality of distance and disconnect. The use of "lazy days" as a symbol for a simpler time, perhaps a time when the connection between the two people in the song was stronger, creates a bittersweet sense of nostalgia.
Later in the song, the line "Maybe we should smile apart instead" suggests an inner conflict between holding on to a happier time and accepting the reality of the present. The final verse of the song, "Take my hand you'll understand the reasons that we fought the lie and you and I could put aside the reasons that we sought to hide. The lazy days we had," suggests a hope for reconciliation and a desire to let go of past hurts.
Overall, "Lazy Days" is a charming and introspective song that captures the complexities of relationships and the longing for connection in a playful and imaginative way.
