Mr. Little Jeans Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You got from a giving kind
But your coat is big and I am warm
I'll ask if I can walk you home
Grey like the gravel under our shoes
The sky doesn't clarify
Simple is something of a mystery
Got a gun and an eagles eye
But would like somewhere safe to hide
You've a reason and so have I, it's true
I'm gonna rescue you
So you can rescue me too
Make it a rendezvous
I got my best dress on
And you've a smile and a bruise
So come and rescue me,
And me you
I am the heat in an empty room
The cold coming through the walls
Your sofas' old, but I am new
And there is better on the brew
My breath is soft, your hands are unlocked
Un-manned and un-vertical
I feel strings without the black n blues
A weekend in a weekdays shoes
Got a gun and an eagles eye
But would like somewhere safe to hide
You've a reason and so have I, it's true
I'm gonna rescue you
So you can rescue me too
Make it a rendezvous
I got my best dress on
And you've a smile and a bruise
So come and rescue me
And me you

This song reminds me of 2015. Just one year after graduating high school and still feeling no responsibilities yet, some of my friends are having their own cars so it was the first time we'd all actually go out on adventures rather than just hang out close by. Miss those days. Im 26 now and even tho we're all still in touch, those freshmen years of post high school life was so much fun.

She's such an underrated artist. To me Mr. Little Jean is brilliant. Plus she took her name from one of my all-time favorite movies.... Rushmore. ❤
