Lyrics meaning

The lyrics describe the light, almost unreal feeling of being with someone the speaker cares about. Walking home from this personโ€™s house feels so joyful that ordinary movement seems extraordinary. The mood is playful and romantic, though there is also a suggestion that the speaker would gladly spend a long time in this moment, even if others think it is unwise.

โ€œWalking on the moonโ€ is an image of weightlessness: the speakerโ€™s feet barely seem to touch the ground, and their steps feel unusually large. It likely compares the excitement of being in love to moving in a strange, dreamlike place. The hope that their legs will not break adds a small comic note, as if this magical feeling might be physically risky. โ€œWishing my days awayโ€ means spending the present impatiently, waiting for something else; the speaker rejects that judgment and seems content to keep enjoying the experience.

The repeated โ€œwe could be togetherโ€ suggests that closeness matters more than practical concerns, but the lyrics do not explain the relationship or what will happen next. The lines about tomorrow can sound carefree, yet they may also hint that staying with the loved person comes at some cost. The song leaves that tension open: the speaker may be making a joyful choice, or simply choosing to remain in a lovely moment for now.
