Girl of My Dreams
the jesses Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I get my body to lay still
Without my home
This work I must do all alone
Between them trees
Is all the world's fuckery
I begged for light
Where you once stood
My girl
Let's dance across that sunlit room
Oh, my girl
I'll hold you in the afternoon
If evening's kind
It'll give us light to take our time
When that treeline's gone
You will know I've carried on
My girl
Let's dance across that sunlit room
Oh, my girl
I'll hold you in the afternoon
The Jesse's song "Girl of My Dreams" is a song about a man who is doing some work alone on a distant hill. In the first verse, the singer is talking about laying still on a distant hill while doing his work alone. He feels isolated and disconnected from his home. He sees the world as a place of chaos and confusion. But in this moment of despair, he longs for the light that once shined where his girl stood. His longing is so strong that he calls out her name in desperation, even though she is not there.
In the second verse, the singer is reminiscing about the time spent with his girl. He wants to dance with her in a sunlit room and hold her in the warm afternoon. He hopes that the evening is kind, so that they can take their time and enjoy the moment. He tells her that even when the treeline is gone, she will know that he has carried on.
The song is a beautiful ode to love and longing. The lyrics capture the deep emotions that one goes through when they are missing someone they love. The singer's desire to be with his girl is palpable and the imagery used in the lyrics helps to create a vivid picture of the emotions he is experiencing.

On a distant hill
I am alone on a faraway hill
I get my body to lay still
I try to be calm and still
Without my home
I have no place to call home
This work I must do all alone
I have to do this work by myself
Between them trees
In this world full of chaos
Is all the world's fuckery
There is only chaos in this world
I begged for light
I asked for guidance
Where you once stood
Where you used to be
A fever came and I called your name
I am longing for you and I called out your name
My girl
My love
Let's dance across that sunlit room
Let's rejoice together under the sun
Oh, my girl
Oh, my love
I'll hold you in the afternoon
I will cherish and care for you in the afternoon
If evening's kind
If the night is gentle
It'll give us light to take our time
We'll have time to spend with each other
When that treeline's gone
When there's no more obstacle
You will know I've carried on
You'll know that I moved forward in my life
