We Were Alright
Journey to Alright: Finding Love on the Open Road
Lyrics
we hit road
We embarked on a journey.
i said tell me where you're wanting to be and that's where we're gonna go
I asked about your destination, and we decided to go there.
if it takes my life
Expressing a willingness to sacrifice for the journey.
i looked over at you
Observing you with a smile on my face.
had a smile on my face and i noticed you were smiling too
Noticing that you were also smiling.
girl you were smiling too
Emphasizing that the girl was also smiling.
and for the first time in a long time
Highlighting a positive moment after a prolonged period of difficulty.
we were alright
Expressing a sense of being fine or okay for the first time in a while.
turned the radio on
Turning on the radio.
and heard Luckenbach Texas and you said it was your favorite song
Hearing "Luckenbach Texas" and learning it's your favorite song.
girl you started singing along
You enthusiastically singing along to the song.
crossed state lines
Crossing state lines during the journey.
i couldn't keep my eyes open so i stopped to see an old friend of mine
Stopping to see an old friend due to fatigue.
to get some sleep for a while
Seeking rest for a while.
for the first time in a long time
Reiterating the sense of being okay after a prolonged period.
we were alright
Reaffirming the feeling of being alright.
woke by the phone
Waking up to a phone call.
heard your voice say i should come get my things
Hearing that I should retrieve my belongings because you're coming home and want them gone.
cause you were gonna be home and you wanted them gone
Expressing a sudden, harsh realization.
like a brick it hit me
Feeling the impact of the situation intensely.
everything i thought that happened that night well it was only a dream
Realizing that the positive events earlier were just a dream.
so i went back to sleep
Choosing to go back to sleep to escape the harsh reality.
what else could i do
Expressing a sense of helplessness.
tried to find my way back into that dream so i could be close to you
Attempting to return to the dream to feel close to you.
so i could be close to you
Emphasizing the desire to be close to you in the dream.
cause for the first time in a long time
Repeating the theme of being okay after a prolonged period.
we were alright
Reaffirming the positive feeling of being alright.
oh for the first time in a long time
Emphasizing the rarity of feeling okay after a long time.
we were alright
Confirming the sense of being alright as a unique and positive occurrence.
