Cavetown Another One of Those Days
Cycling down town
Thought the fresh air would pick me up
Up up and away from the ground
But there's no talking dog up here
Blowing up balloons with my dear
Hoped maybe I'd see a familiar face on my way
Passed by some cannabis seeds, it all smells exactly the same
I saw a girl in my dreams but I don't remember her name
I guess it's just another one of
those days when I'm missing everything
Carousel round and round
Like a kid's toy you wind me up
And I've got nothing to say
So you just throw me in the dump truck
Hoping round the corner I'll see her
Passed that kid from chemistry who made fun of my name

He didn't look very happy, I guess we all turn out the same
I saw a girl in my dreams, she kissed me on the face
I guess it's just another one of
those days when I'm missing everything
When she shows up she can
sit on my shoulders
Cause I'm so strong, I wish
Piggy back ride to the hill, then we roll down
Feeling like kids for the rest of our lives
Hoping in the morning I'll meet her
But for now I'll just be lonely, and my arms will feel so bare
Dreaming 'bout her body round me, with my fingers in her hair
It might be so easy, but I am just too scared
Cause I saw a girl in my dreams, but she doesn't like me

Thought the fresh air would pick me up
Up up and away from the ground
But there’s no talking dog up here
Blowing up balloons with my dear
Hoped maybe I’d see a familiar face on my way
Passed by some cannabis seeds, it all smells exactly the same
I saw a girl in my dreams but I don’t remember her name
I guess it’s just another one of those days when I’m missing everything
Carousel round and round
Like a kid’s toy you wind me up
And
I’ve got nothing to say
So you just throw me in the dump truck
Hoping round the corner I’ll see her
Passed that kid from chemistry who made fun of my name
He didn’t look very happy, I guess we all turn out the same
I saw a girl in my dreams, she kissed me on the face
I guess it’s just another one of those days when I’m missing everything
When she shows up she can sit on my shoulders
Cause I’m so strong, I wish

Dreaming ‘bout her body round me, with my fingers in her hair
It might be so easy, but I am just too scared
Cause I saw a girl in my dreams, but she doesn’t like me
I see it as being about dissociation. Just feeling "out of it". Sad, but mostly just an apathetic, vague sense of loss where it's hard to care about your sadness. "Missing everything" is about feeling disconnected from the world. The part about the girl and not remembering her name is about feelings of love and affection that are being dulled. The bit about the bully sounds very apathetic, like the character isn't sad or hurt, but just makes an objective, if pessimistic observation that the boy isn't happy, but nobody is. I'm not sure obviously, it's just the emotions it evokes in me.

I'm not great at talking to people and socialising so I get pretty lonely. I just like to hang on to the fact that each day I get closer to meeting someone I'll love forever, it just gets frustrating not knowing how close (or far away) I am. That's what this song's about.
