Lyrics
Nothing good could ever last
Expressing a pessimistic view that positive things don't endure.
It's hard to cry about the past
Reflecting difficulty in mourning or feeling sorrow for the past.
But in my future all I see's an empty room
Anticipating a future that seems bleak and devoid of fulfillment.
I can't believe it's been two years
A realization that a significant amount of time has passed since a notable event.
And I'm still fightin' back the tears
Struggling with ongoing emotional pain after the passing of time.
I wish my dreams still gave me hope of seeing you
Longing for dreams that used to provide hope, particularly related to seeing someone again.
Your mama said she's leaving town
Informing about the departure of a person, likely a close one, from the speaker's life.
The city called and then she found a little
Describing the reasons for the departure, finding solace in the chaotic city lights.
Comfort in the chaos of the lights
Exploring the comfort or distraction found in the bustling city life.
And now what's left to represent you
Reflecting on what remains to symbolize the departed person.
And empty house I barely went to
Enumerating the remnants: an empty house and a resentful person with no purpose.
And an angry boy with nothing left to fight
Describing the emotional state of someone who has exhausted their sources of contention.
Every memory I have saved is
Highlighting the significance of memories, indicating their preservation.
Written down in stacks of pages
Depicting memories as written records, acknowledging their limitations.
But I hate that It can never be enough
Expressing dissatisfaction with the inadequacy of recorded memories.
I can't remember every moment
Acknowledging the inability to recall every detail from the past.
I can't go back, I can't control it
Conveying a sense of powerlessness over the inability to change or manipulate the past.
Might as well be empty pages piled up
Comparing memories to empty pages, emphasizing their lack of impact or substance.
Life's too good to be complaining
Contrasting the goodness of life with the speaker's inclination to complain.
But I remember it was raining back
Recalling a specific moment in the past when it was raining.
When trails lead down to rivers running through
Referencing trails leading to rivers, symbolizing the paths and experiences of life.
But I swear the sunsets faded last September when I waited for
Describing a fading sunset in September, a metaphor for lost hope or optimism.
The sky to show me more than grey and blue
Expressing disappointment in the lack of vibrancy in the sky during a specific period.
For the sky to show me more than grey and blue
Reiterating the desire for a more vivid and positive sky.
Every night it's getting later counting days and cursing fate for now
Reflecting on the passage of time, staying awake to confront thoughts and destiny.
I've stayed up way too long to think it through
Acknowledging the difficulty in finding clarity or resolution after prolonged contemplation.
Still I swear the sunsets faded last September when I waited for
Revisiting the theme of a faded sunset in September, emphasizing the persistent longing.
The sky to show me more than grey and blue
Expressing a continued desire for a more vibrant and meaningful sky.
For the sky to show me more than grey and blue
Reiterating the hope for a brighter, more positive sky in the future.
For the sky to show me more than grey and blue
Persisting in the desire for a sky that goes beyond the monotonous grey and blue.
