Honey
Swim Deep Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
She wanna lose the frown and turn it upside down, and start livin'
Ah ah ah, don't blame the time on your wrist
For not doing what makes you tick.
Don't blame the clock on the wall for running round
With nothing at all
Take your feet out your shoes and go crazy
Don't just dream in your sleep it's just lazy
Are we having a fight, or are we dazing?
Baby
I wanna go down south and hold onto your feelings lately
I wanna hear you growl but who's gonna be there to save me
Ah ah ah, don't blame the time on your wrist
For not doing what makes you tick.
Don't blame the clock on the wall for running round
With nothing at all
So I say oh oh baby
Take your feet out your shoes and go crazy
Don't just dream in your sleep it's just lazy
Are we having a fight, or are we dazing?
Baby
Don't just dream in your sleep it's just lazy
Don't just dream in your sleep it's just lazy
Don't just dream in your sleep it's just lazy
Don't just dream in your sleep it's just lazy

I listened to this song today and the wave of nostalgia I feel for it is unreal. I remember being 16, jamming to this song in the summer, having a big crush, just enjoying harmless adolescent fun. Hard to believe its been almost ten years!!! <3

I'm a Japanese fan. I don't listen to many foreign songs, but I love this band and listen to them often. It's really nice to listen to after a long time. I feel like I'm back in my 20s.

If only I could go back and tell my teen self to embrace everything more. My friends, the first girlfriend, the freedom, the music scene and the epoch of time. Thank you, Swim Deep, for creating something so powerful.
