Lyrics
Like muscle memory
Reflecting on repetitive actions or feelings ingrained in memory.
I find myself walking towards your street
Drawn instinctively toward the location associated with the person.
Again, without thinking
Repeating actions without conscious thought or intention.
I am writing down words I'll never speak
Expressing emotions through writing, not verbally communicating them.
I walk past our old meeting spot
Passing by the place where significant meetings occurred.
Remembering how we would laugh a lot
Recalling shared moments of laughter at the mentioned spot.
I still go maybe once a week
Continuing to visit the place regularly for the same purpose.
To keep writing down words I'll never speak
Consistently documenting unspoken emotions in writing.
I think we both know
Acknowledging mutual awareness of the depth of shared memories.
The depth our memories go
Recognizing the profound nature of past experiences.
I learned to keep it light though
Choosing to keep the emotional burden light.
I learned to keep it light
Emphasizing the learned approach of maintaining a light-hearted demeanor.
I still have never heard you sing
Not having experienced the partner's singing despite the duration of the relationship.
It can't be as bad as you're imagining
Assuring that the imagined negative aspects are likely exaggerated.
The last year we watched winter turn to spring
Recalling a specific period of time marked by seasonal changes.
Lots of saying things that we didn't mean
Admitting to saying things in the past without true intention.
At the park where we planned our trip
Referencing a park where plans were made, acknowledging their imperfection.
Not our best idea but we went with it
Despite challenges, deciding to proceed with a planned trip.
I found meaning in a scratch off
Finding significance in a scratch-off experience.
After ruining your mom's tablecloth
Reminiscing about an event involving damage to a tablecloth.
I think we both know
Reiteration of mutual understanding of the depth of memories.
The depth our memories go
Reaffirming the profound nature of shared experiences.
I learned to keep it light though
Choosing to handle memories with a light-hearted approach.
I learned to keep it light
Emphasizing the learned skill of maintaining emotional lightness.
We took the long way
Choosing a longer, possibly more challenging path in communication.
Had enough to say
Having abundant topics to discuss during the extended journey.
Happy golden birthday
Celebrating a birthday with the phrase "Happy golden birthday."
"That's what friends are for" you say
Recalling the partner's statement about the supportive nature of friendship.
Your three day weekend's
Referring to a specific three-day weekend moment.
When I caught you seeing
Noticing a significant event involving the partner seeing their love leave.
Your love walk out the door
Acknowledging the difficulty of ignoring the end of the relationship.
And you could not ignore it
Expressing the inevitability of facing the reality of a breakup.
