Lyrics
And I was old
Reflecting on past experiences or feeling aged.
And you were new
Addressing someone new or recent in the speaker's life.
And it was all I hoped
Expressing hope and positivity about a potential connection.
We could've been
Mentioning missed opportunities or what could have been.
Oh I thought we
Reflecting on the belief that they could have made a significant impact.
Could've changed the world
Belief in the power to change the world for the better.
From the ground
Potential reference to starting change from the basics.
To the sky
Yearning for reaching great heights or achievements.
To those beautiful blue eyes
Referring to someone's captivating eyes and connection.
We spent wondering why?
Pondering the reasons for their actions or relationship.
I guess I tried
Expressing effort despite uncertainty or challenges.
And you know why
Recognition of the reasons for the efforts made.
But in the end
Acknowledging attempts to overcome obstacles.
We tried to fight
Highlighting the joint effort to resist or confront difficulties.
But I was old
Reiteration of feeling aged or experienced.
But I was old
Reiteration for emphasis on the speaker's age or perspective.
And you were new
Reiteration of addressing someone new or recent.
And you were new
Reiteration to emphasize the novelty or freshness of the other person.
And it was all I hoped
Reiteration of expressing hope and positivity.
We could've been
Reiteration of missed opportunities and potential.
We could've been
Repetition to emphasize the potential that could have been realized.
Oh I thought
Repetition of thoughts on what might have been.
Oh I thought
Repetition of the belief in their ability to change the world.
We could've changed the world
Repetition of the desire to make a global impact.
There's a fire in each of us
Introducing the concept of an inner fire within each individual.
I guess darling, you ignite the fire in me
Acknowledging someone's role in igniting passion within the speaker.
Oh I thought we could have changed the world
Reiteration of the belief in their collective power to bring change.
I guess sometimes I can feel so far
Reflecting on the feeling of isolation or disconnection.
So far away from the world
Expressing a sense of distance from societal norms or expectations.
And I guess tonight
Acknowledging a specific moment of realization or insight.
Standing on the edge of the world
Describing a metaphorical position on the edge of societal norms.
It was a great big lie that they told us
Contrasting the idealistic vision with a harsh reality or deception.
But when I was a young boy
Recalling a past when others doubted the speaker's potential.
They said I couldn't fly
Challenging the limitations imposed by others on personal abilities.
Now look at me, touching the sky!
Celebrating personal growth and overcoming perceived limitations.
Oh I thought, we could have changed the world
Repetition of the belief in their ability to bring about change.
From the ground, to the sky
Expressing a desire to change the world, starting from the basics.
Oh I thought, we could have changed the world
Reiteration of the belief in their potential to create change.
So sing it with me, we're changing, we're changing the world
Encouraging collective action in bringing about change.
Oh I thought, we could have changed the world
Repetition of the belief in the power to make a significant impact.
We're changing, we're changing the world
Emphasizing ongoing efforts and contributions to societal change.
Oh I thought, we could have changed the world
Repetition of the belief in the potential to change the world.
From the ground, to the sky
Reiteration of the aspiration to bring about positive change globally.
