This song paints a poignant picture of unrequited love and self-doubt. The protagonist is infatuated with Julia, a waitress he's too nervous to properly interact with. He feels inadequate and struggles with personal issues, as indicated by references to losing his mind and the devil in his bloodstream. The 'Elysian Fields' symbolize an idealized world that he keeps stumbling upon, yet feels undeserving of. His longing for Julia is clear, but he also acknowledges she deserves someone better. This track beautifully encapsulates the torment of loving someone from afar, while battling internal demons and feelings of unworthiness.
Julia
Lyrics
Straighten my sweater, fix my spine
Step up in line, I'm ordering food high
And I don't know why
I'm so nervous I won't make it
'Cause that's my favorite waitress
Those big brown eyes
I don't know what I ordered
But you're smiling like I can't afford it
Ooh
Addicted to TED talks
Waiting for lift off
But I didn't know it if it's doing much
'Cause I just lost my mind
In the fluorescent lights of my life
In my mind, a river running free like rabbits
But Julia
Fix me a blue sky in the world sun
And i'll be back now
Julia
How long, how long till I'm all gone?
'Cause here I am
Just stumbling down
Elysian Fields
A spanish moss
And a sudden feel
Silver moonlight in the trees
And the devil's in my bloodstream
Don't say you love the old me
Just stumbling down Elysian Fields
Your vision coming clear
And I don't know where home is
And the doors wide open
Julia
How long, how long, how long, oh lord, oh lord
Julia
How long, how long till it's all gone?
How long, how long?
'Cause you deserve a man to lead you in
But here I am just stumbling down Elysian Fields again
