Hard Year
Finding Sunshine in a Hard Year: Aaron Kellim's Uplifting Journey
Lyrics
The look on your face
The expression on your face conveyed reassurance.
Told me we'd be alright
Indicated that everything would be okay between us.
Walkin' down the sidewalk
Walking together on the sidewalk.
As we took a right
Turning right from Riverside Drive.
Off of Riverside drive
Location reference, setting the scene.
Wasn't something you said
It wasn't something verbalized by you.
You were so carefree
You appeared carefree despite my burdens.
With all that's on my mind
Despite my preoccupations.
You still find a way
You manage to reach me despite my concerns.
To get to me
Despite everything going on in my mind.
I need a little sunshine
Expressing a need for positivity and happiness.
It's been a hard year
Reflecting on a challenging and difficult year.
Had a lot of dark nights
Referencing difficult or troubling nights.
And we're still waitin' on some daylight to reappear
Anticipating the arrival of a brighter period.
Na-na-na-na-na
Melodic interlude.
The smoke to clear
Waiting for the metaphorical smoke to dissipate.
Na-na-na-na-na
Melodic interlude.
I need a little sunshine
Reiterating the desire for positivity and happiness.
Caught me starin' at you
Caught in admiration of you.
I was lost in a daze
Lost in thought or daydreaming.
Waiting at the crosswalk
Waiting at a crosswalk with no words to exchange.
Nothing to say
Expressing silence in the situation.
Asked if I was okay
Concern for my well-being expressed by you.
I started to smile
A positive response with a smile.
Couldn't help myself
Unable to control the positive emotion.
Said it's been a while
It's been a while since feeling this kind of emotion.
Since I've felt this kind of
Referring to a sense of peace within.
Peace inside
Reiteration of the need for positivity and happiness.
I need a little sunshine
Expressing the longing for joy.
It's been a hard year
Reflecting on a challenging and difficult year.
Had a lot of dark nights
Reference to dark and difficult nights.
And we're still waiting on some daylight to reappear
Anticipating the arrival of a brighter period.
Na-na-na-na-na
Melodic interlude.
The smoke to clear
Waiting for the metaphorical smoke to dissipate.
Na-na-na-na-na
Melodic interlude.
I need a little sunshine
Reiterating the desire for positivity and happiness.
I found it in your eyes
Finding happiness or positivity in your eyes.
Right there on Riverside
Specific location reference, Riverside Drive.
A little sunshine
Discovering joy or positivity.
It's been a hard year
Reflecting on a challenging and difficult year.
Had a lot of dark nights
Reference to dark and difficult nights.
And we're still waiting on some daylight
Anticipating the arrival of a brighter period.
I need a little sunshine
Melodic interlude.
It's been a hard year
Reflecting on a challenging and difficult year.
Had a lot of dark nights

And we're still waiting on some daylight to re-appear

Na-na-na-na-na
Melodic interlude.
The smoke to clear

Na-na-na-na-na
Melodic interlude.
I need a little sunshine
Reiterating the desire for positivity and happiness.
