Arizona
Sidney Bird Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Like their sunshine
More than your mama
Likes her alone time
And I'm from Arizona
But you've never seen me
While I sit on my roof
Looking at the mountain
While I think that
I miss those nights at your dads
When we'd take over his room
But you'd cry because you missed your mom's perfume
Mhmmmm
But we had each other
And we'll always have
One another
Boys from Arizona
Grow up so slow
That's why I got my move on
And I moved to the real show
But now I feel alone
When I go back home
Lovin' these city lights
But I still
Miss those nights at your dads
When we'd take over his room
But you'd cry because you missed your mom's perfume
Mhhmmm
But we had
And we'll always have
When we grow up
And go back home
I don't remember the nights
Like I did when I was five
Cause fireball wasn't a thing
We'd dare even try
So
I miss those nights at your dads
When we'd take over his room
But you'd cry because you missed your mom's perfume
Mhmmmm
But we had each other
And we'll always have
One another
One another
One another
The song "Arizona" by Sidney Bird speaks about childhood memories and how they shape who we are as adults. Through the lyrics, the singer reminisces about growing up in Arizona, and the special moments shared with a friend's family. The first verse describes the typical Arizona girl, who loves the sunshine more than anything else, and the singer's admiration for the mountain that raised him. Despite being from Arizona, the singer and his friend never crossed paths until adulthood.
The second verse talks about how boys from Arizona often take longer to grow up, which is why the singer moved away to the big city but still feels lonely sometimes. However, he can't help but miss those nights spent at his friend's dad's house, taking over his room and creating memories together. The chorus repeats the phrase "but we had each other, and we'll always have one another," emphasizing the importance of those childhood bonds.
The bridge speaks about going back home and realizing how much has changed since childhood. Fireball, a type of alcohol, wasn't a thing we'd even dare to try. The final chorus repeats the sentiments from before, longing for those special moments spent with loved ones.
Overall, the song is a nostalgic and heartfelt reflection on childhood memories and the bonds we create with others. It speaks to the idea that no matter where life takes us, those memories will always be with us, and the love and connections we make with others will endure.
