Lyrics
Replay the memories one by one
Reflecting on memories sequentially.
Like you are watching a movie that stars someone
Comparing the experience to watching a movie starring someone.
You don't remember you barely like
Having difficulty recalling or not liking certain memories.
There's something off about the way she smiles
Sensing something unsettling about the way she smiles.
And you can tell he doesn't understand desire
Noticing a lack of understanding of desire in a relationship.
And you just look back maybe you laugh
Looking back, perhaps with a laugh, despite the lack of humor.
There's nothing funny it's just unbelievable
Expressing disbelief in the extraordinary and non-funny situations.
All the times you've got to say
Recalling moments when saying goodbye was necessary.
Alright I'm letting you go
Accepting the decision to let go.
If you put your will up against my heart
Acknowledging a potential conflict between personal will and emotions.
I'll let you win that's my favorite part
Favoring the idea of letting the other person win in emotional battles.
That's my favorite part
Reiterating that allowing the other person to win is the speaker's favorite part.
That afternoon in that nice hotel
Recalling a specific afternoon in a pleasant hotel.
A foreign country and the ocean swell
Describing a foreign location with the presence of ocean waves.
You acted unimpressed
Observing a lack of enthusiasm in the other person's actions.
I walked out stage left
Exiting a situation, perhaps a relationship, stage left.
I've never known a script quite like yours
Commenting on the uniqueness of the other person's life script without conflict.
Where there's no battle just a trojan horse
Comparing the situation to a trojan horse without a real battle.
It felt like a gust of wind just about did you in
Describing a precarious moment that almost caused harm.
There's nothing funny it's just unbelievable
Reiterating the unbelievable and non-funny nature of certain times.
All the times you've got to say
Recalling moments of decision to let go.
Alright I'm letting you go
Accepting the necessity of releasing the other person.
If you put your will up against my heart
Highlighting the potential conflict between personal will and emotional surrender.
I'll let you win that's my favorite part
Reiterating the willingness to let the other person win, emphasizing it as a favorite part.
That's my favorite part
Reaffirming that allowing the other person to win emotionally is the speaker's favorite part.
