Bargain
Nostalgic Reflections: Bargaining with Memories
Lyrics
And I'm up again
Expressing the act of getting back on one's feet or trying again.
Thinking about a second wind
Reflecting on the idea of finding renewed energy or motivation.
Drifting in and out what could've been
Musing about the possibilities of what could have happened.
And if you're stuck with him
Suggesting a situation where the person is involved with someone else.
I'll turn out my imagining
Committing to letting go of imaginative thoughts and wishing well for both.
And wish you both the best I can
Expressing a positive and supportive attitude despite personal feelings.
We could bargain with the memory
Considering the option of negotiating or dealing with memories.
Try to step in the same river twice
Reflecting on the impossibility of repeating the past exactly.
But you can't look me in the eye
Pointing out a difficulty in making direct eye contact.
I Can't look you in the eye
Reciprocal acknowledgment of the challenge in maintaining eye contact.
I won't ask if you'll remember me
Declining to inquire about being remembered, possibly accepting the uncertainty.
Follow in another life
Contemplating a connection or reunion in a different existence.
We'll both still recognize
Assuming mutual recognition even in an alternate life.
We're still hypnotized
Acknowledging a continued state of captivation or fascination.
Booked by the feeling
Describing a sensation of being bound by emotions or experiences.
Not going nowhere
Asserting stability, not moving from the current emotional state.
I know it's killing you
Acknowledging awareness that the situation is emotionally challenging.
Just to not know
Highlighting the difficulty of not having clarity or knowledge.
We could bargain with the memory
Reiterating the possibility of negotiating or dealing with memories.
Try to step in the same river twice
Repeating the idea that recreating the past exactly is impossible.
But you can't look me in the eye
Reiterating the challenge of making direct eye contact.
I Can't look you in the eye
Reaffirming the mutual difficulty in maintaining eye contact.
I won't ask if you'll remember me
Reiterating the decision not to ask about being remembered.
Follow in another life
Revisiting the idea of a connection or reunion in another life.
We'll both still recognize
Reiterating the assumption of mutual recognition in an alternate existence.
We're still hypnotized
Affirming the enduring state of captivation or fascination.
