[Verse 1: Winona Oak]
You smelled like palm trees and cigarettes
You were the tangerine sky after a wildfire
You were a lost thing inside my chest
Loosenin’ my screws and crossin’ all my wires
[Explanation of Verse 1]
The singer describes the sensory experience associated with the person they’re addressing. The scent of palm trees and cigarettes, the imagery of a tangerine sky after a wildfire, and the metaphor of a “lost thing inside my chest” create a vivid picture.
[Pre-Chorus: Winona Oak]
How many ways did I say, “I love you”?
Did I say, “I love you”?
But you just couldn’t give it back
How many days ’til the sky was falling?
‘Cause I kept on stalling
I knew I’d have to give you back
[Explanation of Pre-Chorus]
The singer reflects on the expression of love in the relationship. They question how many times they declared love (“How many ways did I say, ‘I love you’?”), highlighting a potential imbalance in the emotional exchange. Despite the singer’s efforts, it seems the love wasn’t reciprocated (“But you just couldn’t give it back”). The impending sense of loss is foreshadowed as the singer acknowledges the inevitability of having to let go.
[Chorus: Winona Oak]
You were a Hollywood daydream
My beautiful sad thing
Oh, so blue, baby blue, yeah
You were torn like your ripped jeans
A bird with a bad wing
Oh, so blue, baby blue, baby
[Explanation of Chorus]
The chorus uses metaphorical language to characterize the person. They were a “Hollywood daydream” and a “beautiful sad thing,” but also “torn like ripped jeans” and a “bird with a bad wing.” These contrasting images suggest a complexity in the person’s nature—perhaps alluring but damaged. The repeated use of “baby blue” emphasizes a feeling of sadness or melancholy associated with this person.
[Verse 2: Winona Oak]
You wеre the stranger I knеw the best
With those angel eyes, you were a wild liar
I was the savior you never asked for, but I tried
And I would until I died, oh
[Explanation of Verse 2]
The songster delves deeper into the dynamics of the relationship, admitting the incongruity of the person being both a foreigner and someone privately known. The person is described as a” wild fabricator,” adding a subcaste of unpredictability and maybe deception. The songster also sees themselves as a reticent rescuer, trying to help despite not being asked for it.

I wonder, was it true, was it true? Yeah
