Lyrics
I remember when I
Reflecting on a past time
Didn’t have a care at all
Experiencing carefree moments
I used to call you
Addressing someone
We talked for hours
Engaging in lengthy conversations
On and on
Continuing discussions
Papa picked the telephone
Family member answering the phone
Mama tell me you’re not home
Being informed the person is not available
I used to wait and wait, It got so late
Waiting anxiously, reluctant to be alone
I didn’t wanna go to bed alone
Reluctance to go to bed without company
I was writing you a happy song all along
Creating a positive musical composition
Sweet silence and romance did no one wrong
Emphasizing the innocence of silence and romance
I was writing you a happy song all along
Continuing the theme of a happy song
Spin into your stories
Getting involved in narratives
Grinning cause you know me
Expressing happiness due to familiarity
Way down way down inside
Referring to inner emotions
Deep & dark like a moonless night
Describing profound darkness
Lay down lay down your pride
Encouraging humility and surrender
I don’t want to fight
Expressing a desire for harmony, not conflict
I was writing you a happy song all along
Reiterating the creation of a happy song
Sweet silence and romance did no one wrong
Highlighting the innocence of silence and romance
I was writing you a happy song all along
Continuing the theme of a happy song
The silence
Questioning the meaning of silence
Tell me what’s with the violence
Asking about the presence of violence
Maybe stop with the sirens
Suggesting a pause in alarming sounds
I just wanna spread your wings
Expressing a desire to nurture and protect
And kiss you on the eyelids
Describing a tender gesture
Your legs start to shiver. Quiver
Noticing physical reactions
Burn it all down and then
Metaphorically suggesting destruction
Drown in this river, I’ll give her
Offering everything, including forgiveness
Everything She owe and forgive her
Expressing commitment and generosity
Angels never die I never quit her
Belief in eternal qualities
Let me ask you
Seeking confirmation about identity
Am I talking to the same girl I used to know
Reflecting on changes in the person
All the little things will never let me let you go
Acknowledging the significance of small things
Can I call you when I’m lonely and you’re not alone?
Asking for companionship despite being lonely
Baby take your hand forget your man and take you home?
Suggesting intimacy and comfort
I was writing you a happy song all along
Reiterating the creation of a happy song
Sweet silence and romance did no one wrong
Emphasizing the innocence of silence and romance
I was writing you a happy song all along
Concluding the theme of a happy song
