Sometimes the girl is here
With her indigo eyes
And her brand new gear
She won't stay for long
And she has to walk straight home
Patience, time comes, she says
Kiss me but don't you tell
This is over as soon as this fire burns through
She's on the ocean
He's in the sand
She's stuck in motion
He is sliding gently off her hand
Springtime and turmoil
She pours white wine
And gets herself lost
She falls over
And disappears into the meadows
Wayward and high strung
She is lovesick and ever so strong
Then it's over like none of it ever was real
She's on the ocean
He's in the sand
She's stuck in motion
He slides so gently off her hand
With her indigo eyes
And her brand new gear
She won't stay for long
And she has to walk straight home
Patience, time comes, she says
Kiss me but don't you tell
This is over as soon as this fire burns through
She's on the ocean
He's in the sand
She's stuck in motion
He is sliding gently off her hand
Springtime and turmoil
She pours white wine
And gets herself lost
She falls over
And disappears into the meadows
Wayward and high strung
She is lovesick and ever so strong
Then it's over like none of it ever was real
She's on the ocean
He's in the sand
She's stuck in motion
He slides so gently off her hand

The ocean is wild, it's wet, water, and sand is the exact opposite.. She might be all over the place, with no home anymore..
I agree with HungLikeAJury, that the relationship meant more than she thought it would. But I also think, that the man telling the story - or, the man in the story - has an important part, obviously. He has a real hard time figuring her out, and when he's sliding gently of her hand, I don't think it's her choice - she has kept him 'on the hook' for way too long, and he's gives up. It is a TOUGH relationship to be part of, and maybe she is much stronger than he is.
But even though she's strong, I also think she is very troubled. Like, a lot of very secure persons really are insecure, and she hides it well, except when she drinks - she gets herself lost. Gets herself. Like she is doing it on purpose, to get his attention, and as soon as he does, she disappears. She is very troubled.
Hmm. Just a thought.
Jeez, that bit makes me cry.
HungLikeAJury; really great interpretation. It makes a lot of sense. C:
However, after whatever life-changing experience she went through that separated the two of them, she finds herself moody, irritable, unpredictable - lovesick. She drinks alone, wanders off, and doesn't tell anybody what's wrong. It meant more to her than she'd wanted it to. She thinks the two of them could have been something amazing.
But with time, she moves on, like nothing happened.
it kinda makes me think of a relationship that cant happen.
'She won´t stay for long
She has to walk straight home'
maybe shes to young for him??
'shes lovesick, and ever so strong'
shes so in love that it hurts, but mayvbe she doesnt let it show...
'She pours white wine
And gets herself lost'
she so upset that they cant be together... so she drinks, to leave the reality, an 'gets lost'
just a few ideasss
So the girl has o go "he is sliding gently of her hand". And she promises they will be together in the future "patience, time comes"
