‘Melon Yellow’ is the ninth track of Slowdive’s second studio album ‘Souvlaki’. It has been speculated that the song is about limerence – a state of mind stemming from an obsessive romantic attraction to another person and a desire to be with this person and get one’s feelings reciprocated.
[Verse 1]
Sitting by, I watched you fall away
Sudden fall, I watched you for a day
You know I don't believe in death
Follow the sun, I watched you follow the sun
[Verse 2]
Sitting here I watched you dance
Looking for the sun I watched you dance
[Chorus]
So long, so long
It's just a way to love you
So long, so long
It's just a way to love you
[Verse 3]
I saw you looking at the sun
I saw you looking at the sun
[Chorus]
So long, so long
It's just a way to love you
So long, so long
It's just a way to love you
So long, so long
It's just a way to love you
So long, so long
It's just a way to love you
So long, so long
It's just a way to love you
