Lyrics
Can you remember the way it used to be
Reflecting on how things used to be
Rest stops and break down lanes and rain were all we would need
Simple elements like rest stops, breakdown lanes, and rain sufficed for contentment
To call it a day
Using those simple elements to conclude a day
We didn't need much to say
Lack of the need for extensive communication
To explain it away
No need for elaborate explanations
They're opening doors for me all over town
Receiving opportunities, but not being able to avail due to absence
It's just too bad that I won't be around
Expressing regret about not being present despite the opportunities
Now plain Jane send me flowers or a postcard
Average, unremarkable individuals showing affection
I won't turn you down again
Rejecting affection in the past but reconsidering
You say it ain't warm enough
Dismissal of warmth, despite feeling intense emotions
But man I'm just burning up
Feeling intense emotions or passion
I'm going down with the dust
Accepting a difficult situation or downfall
Is it too much to ask of you
Pondering if simple requests are too much
Am I moving too fast
Questioning the pace of a relationship or progress
Did I come back too soon
Wondering if returning too soon is a mistake
Is it too much to ask of you
Reiterating the question of whether simple requests are excessive
Now sometimes just being alive is enough
Finding contentment in the simplicity of being alive
The money don't matter to me
Expressing that material wealth is not important
Just send me your love
Requesting emotional support rather than material things
I'm leaving as the crow flies I'm coming
Moving swiftly and directly
We don't even need to talk
Not needing verbal communication
About anything
Rejecting the need for discussion
We can just let it ring
Allowing silence or non-verbal communication
There's so much I could bring
Bringing many emotions or experiences
Is it too much to ask of you
Repeating the question of whether simple requests are too much
Am I moving too fast
Reiterating the uncertainty about the pace of the relationship
Did I come back too soon
Revisiting the concern about returning too soon
Is it too much to ask of you
Repeating the question of whether simple requests are excessive
