Daydream
Sara kendall Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Heavy as they′re tracing the tile
So chastened, feeling far away
And I'm impatient
Fussing with my hands like a child
On pavement, want you to myself for a while
Maybe we could make true of this Daydream
You′ve got me picking my daisies daily
You got me picking
My battles clearly
Have everything to do with you
Obscurely doing what you do
But insecurely I'm trying hard so we can
Get through this purely
No one else to pursue
Maybe we could make true of this Daydream
But you look at everything gravely lately
You've got me picking my daisies daily
You got me picking
My, you got me picking my
You look at everything gravely
You got me picking my daisies daily
You got me picking my
Maybe we could make true of this Daydream
But you look at everything gravely lately
You′ve got me picking my daisies daily
You got me picking

Eyes are Vacant
My eyes are empty and lacking expression
Heavy as they're tracing the tile
My eyes are tired and moving slowly as I look at the floor
So chastened, feeling far away
I feel subdued and distant
And I'm impatient
I am restless and eager for something to happen
Fussing with my hands like a child
I am nervously playing with my hands, like a child might do
On pavement, want you to myself for a while
I am standing on the sidewalk and wishing to be alone with you
My battles clearly
The problems I am facing are obvious
Have everything to do with you
My issues are all related to our relationship

You got me picking
Your behavior is leading me to feel uncertain and hesitant
