Hibiscus
Ryan Leahan Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Someone should pinch me soon
She talks like the movies
And smells like hibiscus in bloom
I sit in the shotgun
We dance and forget everything
She looks like Point Reyes
And sounds like the leaves in the wind
Feeling like there's nothing else in the world
Nothing besides you girl
Screaming without a care
Feeling like there's nothing else in the world
Nothing besides you girl
I've driven the country from ocean to ocean blue
I've taken the long way but guess what it still led to you
And how you gonna look at me like that
And not expect me to look at you right back
And tell you I been
And tell you
I been searching for something
And maybe my dear it's you
In the first two lines, the singer expresses how quickly they are falling for someone and how surreal it feels, almost like a dream. The mention of being pinched denotes a desire to confirm if what they are experiencing is real. The comparison of the person they are falling for, to someone who talks like the movies and smells like hibiscus in bloom, creates a vivid and romantic image.
The following lines describe a moment of intimacy and connection between the singer and the person they are falling for. Sitting in the shotgun seat signifies being close and connected to each other, while dancing together symbolizes a feeling of joy and being lost in the moment. The imagery of the person looking like Point Reyes and sounding like leaves in the wind evokes a sense of natural beauty and tranquility.
The repetition of the phrase "Screaming without a care" conveys a sense of liberation and euphoria, as if nothing else in the world matters in that moment besides the person they are with. This intense feeling of being consumed by their emotions for this person is emphasized by the line "Feeling like there's nothing else in the world, Nothing besides you girl." It reflects a deep emotional connection and infatuation that the singer feels towards the person they are falling for.
The closing lines reveal the extent of the singer's journey to find this special person. From driving across the country to taking the long way, all paths eventually led them to this individual. The recognition of the person's captivating presence is evident in the lines "how you gonna look at me like that And not expect me to look at you right back." The singer acknowledges their search for something meaningful and hints that the person they are falling for might be the one they have been searching for all along. The song encapsulates a whirlwind of emotions, from infatuation to a sense of finally finding what they have been seeking.

I'm falling so quickly
I am falling deeply and rapidly in love
Someone should pinch me soon

She talks like the movies
Her words are captivating and dreamlike
And smells like hibiscus in bloom
Her scent is as alluring and beautiful as a blooming hibiscus flower
I sit in the shotgun
I sit in the passenger seat next to her
We dance and forget everything
When we are together, we are able to escape and let go of all worries

She has a natural beauty that is reminiscent of Point Reyes, a scenic coastal area
And sounds like the leaves in the wind

Screaming without a care
Expressing our love and happiness without any fear or hesitation
Feeling like there's nothing else in the world
Feeling like our love is the only thing that matters in the world
Nothing besides you girl
You are the only thing that matters to me
I've driven the country from ocean to ocean blue
I have traveled far and wide, but my journey has always led me to you
I've taken the long way but guess what it still led to you
Despite taking a circuitous route, I still ended up finding you
And how you gonna look at me like that
Your gaze is so intense and meaningful
And not expect me to look at you right back
I can't help but return your gaze with equal intensity
And tell you I been
And confess that I have been
And tell you
And share with you
I been searching for something
I have been seeking something meaningful and fulfilling
And maybe my dear it's you
And perhaps, my dear, it is you who I have been searching for all along
