San Francisco
Laurel Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

darker than a dream
I'll be california queen
I read your lips saying 'baby let's go'
baby's gone to San Francisco
I don't really cry
but I fucking miss him
it seems my love has become like
deeper like
deeper like
deeper for you
and oh my God it's true




I'm singing just to be with you
I idolise you just because I can

Overall Meaning

In the song San Francisco by Laurel, the lyrics reflect a feeling of loneliness and longing while being separated from a loved one. The first line "darker than a dream" creates a sense of overwhelming sadness, possibly hinting at a feeling that the love shared between the two was nothing more than a distant dream. The songwriter then goes on to say "I'll be California queen", possibly meaning that she is now the queen of the state that the loved one has left behind.


The verse continues with "baby's gone to San Francisco", which indicates that the loved one has moved on to a new place and the singer is left behind to deal with the pain. The songwriter expresses that she "doesn't really cry, but fucking misses him", conveying that the absence of the loved one is difficult to bear even when she is trying to be strong. The emotions become more intense in the chorus, where the songwriter acknowledges her deep love for her partner, despite the distance between them. She sings "deeper like, deeper like, deeper for you", meaning that her love only grows stronger with time. The final line, "I idolise you just because I can", shows that the love is unconditional and never-ending.

Lyrics:
Darker than a dream
I will be a California queen
I read your lips saying "baby let's go".
And Oh Honey look at me,tell me what you want to see
Let's fuck it up and join the show.
Now you're gone night and day, months are passing just as same as hours, I ain't letting you go again.
Wanna be in America-a-a-a
Driving fast till I'm lost
At least I'll be living with you.
Baby's gone to San Francisco.
I don't really cry but I fucking miss him
It seems love has become deeper like
Deeper like (X2)
Deeper for you.
Tell me how to please
I get a ticket just to see ya soon,
As I get paid from my job and Oh God it's true
I'm singing just to be with you.
I idolize you because I can
And that's just the sunny way
stuck living in my winter days but
I'm heading out where
you doubt if I'd come and see ya
Baby I'm coming to see ya
Coming to meet ya
Baby's gone to San Francisco.
I don't really cry but I fucking miss him
It seems love has become deeper like
Deeper like (X2)
Deeper for you.
