This is the ninth song on Caroline’s debut solo album, Pang. This song appears to be an endearing, compassionate plea toward a particular person within Caroline’s life, potentially an aspect of herself, that tends to wear their heart on their sleeves, being easily moved and overtaken by their emotio...
[Verse 1]
I can picture you right now
At a window seat
Crying for nobody except the world
I can picture you right now
Running down the street
Late for nobody except the moon
[Chorus]
Hey, big eyes, can you swim
Swim down to me?
Hey, red star, can you burn
Burn down to me?
[Verse 2]
Picture me all messed up now
Can't talk to nobody
Can’t plan for anything
Except the rain
Today the flags will all fly green
At the embassies
You're here next to me
Except you're not
[Chorus]
Hey, big eyes, can you swim
Swim down to me? (Swim, swim)
Hey, red star, can you burn
Burn down to me? (Burn, burn)
[Bridge]
Hey, big eyes, can you swim
Swim down to me?
Hey, red star, can you burn?
Burn down, burn down
[Chorus]
Hey, big eyes, can you swim
Swim down to me? (Swim, swim)
Hey, red star, can you burn
Burn down to me? (Burn, burn)
