"Shooting star on the night we first kissed Like a sign, if I blink, you'll be missed In my mind, you and I still exist It's a thought that is dangerous" [no more formatting today, sorry y'all, it was taking up too much of the character limit LOL so the shooting star was a metaphor- wow look at me so smart- essentially, for the relationship. the very start of the spiritual theme here. but conan's not really over the ex, as we've said earlier - that's a problem (is it?) and he recognizes that.] "'Cause I'll wait forever I won't look for better I'll find signs for you and I Oh, for you and I" [there we go, here's the reason it's the problem. conan can't move on - this has been said in other songs but it's explict here. and essentially (he's said this in an interview) this specific song is about looking at all the tiny, maybe meaningless (or meaningful?) signs and pretending they mean something.] "Well, there's wishbones and clovers and numbers from heaven Shapes in the stars to invent our connection As much as I act like I want to forget it I still wish for you at eleven-eleven I still wish for you" [similar sorta theme. looking at the tiny details- wishbones, clovers, numbers from heaven, all thought off as something related to wishes or good luck!! so yep. recurring theme, conan's not over this person (and to quote carys "there's nth wrong w that"), because he's still wishing for them to... come back, maybe?] "Heard you're seeing some girl in New York So, what am I reading horoscopes for? You're still wearing those () white Nikes So, maybe you're superstitious like me" [being self aware- conan's wondering, like, "hey why am i wasting my time if you're already over it?" but on the contrary, he's noticing this teeeny detail about the ex that makes him wonder "are you over it too? are you wishing for me at 11:11?")] "'Cause I'll wait for nothing Pretending we're something My mind lies for you and I Oh, for you and I" [similar to the above pre-chorus, but this time he's talking about how his mind is maybe changing things just to keep the relationship- or the thought of it- alive.] "There's wishbones and clovers and numbers from heaven Shapes in the stars to invent our connection As much as I act like I want to forget it I still wish for you at eleven-eleven I still wish for you I still wish for you" [same as above <33 this song hits so hard oml] "Wishbones, clovers, salt spilling over Why don't you come back? That () over my shoulder There's black cats, broke glass, cracks on the pavement But I just can't accept that it's too late to save us" [these are all things- in the 3rd line- that traditionally bring "bad luck." so even though conan's seeing these things, he's maybe trying to "counteract" them through wishbones and clovers and numbers from heaven. basically, reallyy damn wanting this person back. and that's okay.] "There's wishbones and clovers and numbers from heaven And if you'd ask me, I'd deny that we ended As much as I know that it's time to forget it I still wish for you at eleven-eleven I still wish for you at eleven-eleven I still wish for you (for you)" [so conan's aware- as he is in almost allll of his songs- of what he's doing. even though he knows it's in the past, he's still thinking about it, still maybe trying to go back to it. to wish for it.] ------------------------------------------------------------------------- the end. check out the studio linked below if you've made it this far <3 always and forever, daph <3
