A Piece of My Soul
Journey of Love: A Soul Divided Between Cities
Lyrics
When I'm with you it feels so normal
Being with the person feels normal.
When I'm with you it feels so real
Being with the person feels genuine and authentic.
It's like I finally get to see how my life would be if you were close to me
Expressing the joy of imagining a life together with the person.
When I'm with you the sun is shining
Being with the person brings happiness, symbolized by the sun shining.
And if it rains it's fine with me
Acceptance of challenges; even if it rains (difficulties), it's okay.
But when we say goodbye I usually cry
Feelings of sadness and emotional pain when parting ways.
I can't help but feel the pain
Expressing the emotional pain experienced upon separation.
When a piece of my soul stays in New York while I'm on a plane
Feeling a connection with a place (New York) and a sense of self left behind.
I'm going home but home isn't home a thousand miles away
Returning home, but it doesn't feel like home due to emotional distance.
A thousand miles away
Reiteration of the emotional distance being a thousand miles away.
When I'm away from you it takes a few days
The time spent away from the person requires adjustment.
But eventually I go back to my old ways
Falling back into old habits when separated from the person.
And we talk on the phone all night so it's okay
Communication (talking on the phone) helps cope with the separation.
But some days feel like when we say goodbye and I can't help but feel the pain
Repeating the emotional pain experienced when saying goodbye.
When a piece of my soul stays in New York while I'm on a plane
Similar to line 8, emphasizing the connection to New York and a part of oneself left behind.
I'm going home but home isn't home a thousand miles away
Reiterating the feeling of home being distant when physically away.
A thousand miles away
Reiteration of the emotional distance being a thousand miles away.
You're on your way to MIA just for a few days
Acknowledging a temporary separation for a few days to Miami (MIA).
But when you leave I know I'll be wishing you'd stay
Expressing a desire for the person to stay longer upon departure.
'Cause a piece of your soul stays here with me while you're on a plane
Highlighting the idea that a part of the person remains emotionally connected despite physical distance.
You're going home but home isn't home a thousand miles away
Returning home, but it doesn't feel like home due to emotional distance.
A thousand miles away
Reiteration of the emotional distance being a thousand miles away.
A piece of my soul stays in New York while I'm on a plane
Repeating the connection to New York and a part of oneself left behind during travel.
I'm going home but home isn't home a thousand miles away
Reiterating the feeling of home being distant when physically away.
A thousand miles away
Reiteration of the emotional distance being a thousand miles away.
