Drums
U.S. Navy Band Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Beside every breath I will stay
With all the butterflies I hope to make
With your velvet heart gushing it's purple parts away
With you, every little thing
Is impossibly big
The gesture is small
But the smile on my face
Isn't at all
And when you look at me the way you do
It makes me feel as beautiful as you
And in my rosey cheeks
There's something for you to keep
A freckle of what you need
A wrinkle in what you want
And every little thing I've got
Is a ball of thread
Without an end
Saga drums I wrote for you
So long ago in my bedroom
You had just turned seventeen
And I would graduate that June
We would hold hands so long
My fingers would go numb the whole way through
And all these words I wrote back then continue to blossom and bloom

In your chest I'll rest my head and lay
I find solace and comfort in you, resting my head on your chest
Beside every breath I will stay
I will be there by your side through every breath you take
With all the butterflies I hope to make
I wish to create feelings of excitement and anticipation within you
With your velvet heart gushing it's purple parts away
Your tender and affectionate heart fills me with joy and overwhelms me

When I request to hold your hand, it may seem insignificant

But the smile on my face
Isn't at all
Although the act itself is small, the happiness it brings me is significant
And when you look at me the way you do
The way you gaze at me fills me with a sense of beauty and worth
It makes me feel as beautiful as you
Your gaze makes me see myself as just as beautiful as you are

Without an end
All the love and affection I have for you is endless, like an infinite ball of thread
Saga drums I wrote for you
I composed a heartfelt song on the drums dedicated to you
So long ago in my bedroom
It was created a long time ago, in the privacy of my own room
You had just turned seventeen
At that time, you had recently celebrated your seventeenth birthday
And I would graduate that June
I would finish my studies and graduate in the same month
We would hold hands so long
My fingers would go numb the whole way through
We would hold hands for extended periods, resulting in my fingers becoming numb
And all these words I wrote back then continue to blossom and bloom
The lyrics I penned during that time still carry meaning and significance, continuing to develop and flourish

I like that the band members of the United States Navy are different from other sailors in that they wear uniforms and covers that resemble a chief sergeant major.
