Tried to Forget About
Echoes of Forgotten Promises: Alta Falls' Tale of Love and Regret
Lyrics
We had a place, where we’d watch the water
We had a place, a special spot where we used to observe the water together.
And we’d talk and we’d talk
We engaged in conversations for hours.
Or just sit there in silence
Alternatively, we would just sit in silence, sharing moments without words.
We’d ride our bikes ‘till late in the night
We used to ride our bikes until late at night.
And we’d smoke cigarettes, try to block out the violence
We would smoke cigarettes as a coping mechanism, attempting to ignore or escape from violence.
One day we said we’d ride away together
We once made a promise to escape together.
But I’ve married twice and you’ve got a daughter
However, life led us in different directions - I married twice, and you became a parent.
And it’s funny to see where we are now
Reflecting on our past, it's ironic to see where we find ourselves now.
Back in that place that we tried to forget about
We find ourselves back in that place we vowed to leave behind, trying to forget about it.
Sometimes we’d catch up, pretend nothing’s wrong
Occasionally, we catch up, pretending that everything is fine.
But we both know things aren’t the same since we wrote our first song
We both acknowledge that things have changed since we wrote our first song.
And some days I wish we’d dust off our guitars
There are days when I wish we would revive our musical pursuits.
And we’d sing life away, pretend we were stars
We would sing away the challenges of life, imagining ourselves as stars.
One day we said we’d ride away together
We once made a promise to escape together (repeated).
But I’ve married twice and you’ve got a daughter
Despite life taking unexpected turns, we find ourselves in different circumstances.
And it’s funny to see where we are now
Reflecting on our past, it's ironic to see where we find ourselves now (repeated).
Back in that place that we tried to forget about
We find ourselves back in that place we vowed to leave behind, trying to forget about it (repeated).
Old songs have fallen by the wayside
Old songs from our shared history have been neglected or abandoned.
Old songs still mean the same to me
Despite the neglect, those old songs still hold significant meaning for me.
Some days I hear you sing along with me
On some days, I hear you singing along with me.
Most days I sing them silently
However, most days I sing those songs quietly to myself.
One day we said we’d ride away together
We once made a promise to escape together (repeated).
But I’ve married twice and you’ve got a daughter
Life has taken unexpected turns - I married twice, and you became a parent (repeated).
And it’s funny to see where we are now
Reflecting on our past, it's ironic to see where we find ourselves now (repeated).
Back in that place that we tried to forget about
We find ourselves back in that place we vowed to leave behind, trying to forget about it (repeated).
We tried to forget about
We attempted to erase the memories of that place and time.
We tried to forget about
We made conscious efforts to forget about it (repeated).
We tried to forget about
We repeatedly tried to forget about that significant place and the memories associated with it.
