Winona Forever Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Let's get high and jump a fence, I don't care what happens next,
Sprained ankles and blistered feet, as we walk down the empty streets,
Directionless pursuits are fine, we know that we've got time,
Because I've seen the world a thousand times it seems,
Just to wake up and find that it was in my dreams,
Oh, I try my best not to lock eyes,
Dead-arm on a friday night, and curbside lit up by streetlights,
sleep-filled eyes awakened by morning daylight through the hedge,
Sorry about your grass-stained jeans,
I'll make it up by any means,
Let's get high and jump a fence, I don't care what happens next,
Because I've seen the world a thousand times it seems,
Just to wake up and find that it was in my dreams,
Oh, I try my best not to lock eyes,
When I do I just can't get you off my mind.
The song "Hedges" by Winona Forever is about a carefree, adventurous spirit and the rush of being around someone special. The opening lines express the excitement and restlessness that the person feels whenever the object of his affections is around. The singer is unable to contain his feelings and thinks of taking risks like jumping a fence with the person despite the consequences it may bring.
The chorus talks about the singer's sense of disillusionment with the world. He has experienced many things, but it always turns out to be just a dream. The line "Oh, I try my best not to lock eyes, when I do I just can't get you off my mind" reveals that the person seems to be in a dilemma because he likes the subject of his affection, but he fears the consequences of pursuing the feeling.
The second verse takes a shift towards a sleepy, mellow tone that talks about a peaceful moment with the subject, but considering the circumstances, the person acknowledges the possibility of consequences such as grass-stained jeans. Nonetheless, the excitement to share that moment of calmness with the subject seems worth it.
Overall, "Hedges" talks about someone who is willing to take risks and get out there in life, but when it comes to their feelings towards another person, they are uncertain and cautious.
Line by Line Meaning
Every moment you're around, I'm stir-crazy, off the ground,
Being around you makes me feel excited and restless, as if I'm floating and can't control myself.
Let's get high and jump a fence, I don't care what happens next,
Let's do something daring and unpredictable, consequences be damned.
Sprained ankles and blistered feet, as we walk down the empty streets,
Even if we get hurt along the way, we're willing to explore the world around us and take the less-traveled path.
Directionless pursuits are fine, we know that we've got time,
We're not sure where we're headed, but as long as we have each other, we're not worried about finding our way just yet.
Because I've seen the world a thousand times it seems,
I thought I knew everything there was to know about life and love.
Just to wake up and find that it was in my dreams,
But I realize that my experiences were just a fantasy, and I need to discover the true meaning of things.
Oh, I try my best not to lock eyes,
I don't want to admit my feelings for you and risk being vulnerable.
When I do I just can't get you off my mind.
But no matter how hard I try, I can't stop thinking about you and the possibilities for us.
Dead-arm on a friday night, and curbside lit up by streetlights,
We're just sitting on the side of the road, having a simple moment together, but it's the best part of my life right now.
sleep-filled eyes awakened by morning daylight through the hedge,
Waking up to the sunlight coming through a hedge is a reminder that new opportunities and beauty can be found even in unexpected places.
Sorry about your grass-stained jeans,
I messed up and caused you trouble, but I'm willing to make it up to you.
I'll make it up by any means,
I will do whatever it takes to make things right with you and earn your forgiveness.
