Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I’ve got a bright idea
Let’s go, go and make it happen
Why don’t we chase down the wind?
Set sail and cast our fortunes
Turn the tides toward
A new horizon
Looks like beautiful day
I wanna play
I wanna play
With you
Dream up whatever we want
Together we can make it happen
I wanna follow the sun
Discover where it takes us
Nowhere driving
Where roads are winding
Lean out the window and sing
I wanna play
I wanna play
Whichever way the wind is blowing
That’s where our hearts are going
It’s such a beautiful day
I wanna play...
And when the sun finally sets (and stars fill the sky)
As we fall into bed (with stars in our eyes)
We can greet the new day (new day)
And do it all again
I wanna play
I wanna play
I wanna play
I wanna play
Whichever way the wind is blowing
That’s where our hearts are going
It’s such a beautiful day
Oh, oh
Doesn’t matter where we’re going
As long as we keep rolling
Won’t let this day get away
I wanna play
I wanna play
I wanna play




I wanna play
With you

Overall Meaning

These lyrics are an emotional portrayal of fear, pain, and the desperate need to escape them. The opening lines, "A moth into a butterfly and a lie into the sweetest truth," suggest the transformative power of love, but the following line, "I'm so afraid of life," emphasizes the fear that comes with such a metamorphosis. The singer is too scared to call out to their loved one, for fear of being rejected or hurt by them once again.


The imagery of seasons changing and falling leaves in autumn speaks to the cyclical nature of life and the inevitability of change. The singer is feeling lost and alone, "scorched by the shame," and feels the need to hide away from the world. They "play dead" to protect their heart until the darkness fades away, and the pain becomes more bearable.


The line "I cry like God cries the rain" is a poetic allusion to the idea that even the divine has moments of sorrow and despair. Despite this, the singer is just one step away from the end of today, suggesting a desire to escape the pain in a more permanent way. However, in the final lines, there is a glimmer of hope. The singer wants to be healed by their loved one, to finally move on from the pain of the past so that they can face the future with courage.


Overall, the lyrics are a powerful representation of the fear and pain that come with love and life, but also the hope for healing and growth that can arise from it.


Line by Line Meaning

A moth into a butterfly
Transforming from one state to another


And a lie
Falsehood or untruthfulness


Into the sweetest truth
Becoming honest and sincere


I'm so afraid of life
Feeling scared or uncertain about living


I try
Making an effort to do something


To call your name but I'm
Attempting to attract someone's attention


Silenced by the fear of dying in your heart once again
Being too scared to confess love due to past hurt


I see the seasons changing
Observing the changes in nature over time


And in the heart of this autumn I fall
Falling in love in the midst of change


With the leaves from the trees
Being captivated by nature's beauty


I play dead
Pretending to be lifeless or inactive


To hide my heart
Protecting one's emotions


Until the world gone dark fades away
Waiting until the situation improves


I cry
Expressing sadness or pain through tears


Like God cries the rain
Experiencing intense emotions like a higher power


And I'm just one step away from the end of today
Feeling close to giving up or facing a deadline


I see the reasons changing
Noticing that explanations are evolving


And in the warmth of the past I crawl
Retreating to memories for comfort


Scorched by the shame
Feeling embarrassed and humiliated


I stay dead
Continuing to hide from emotions


Until you veil my scars and say goodbye to fate
Needing someone to acknowledge pain and fix it


Before it's too late
Urging action to be taken quickly
