Not a Day Goes By
Echoes of Longing: Avery Chapman's Melodic Reflections on Lost Moments
Lyrics
Not a day goes by that I don't think about us
Reflecting on the constant thoughts about the relationship.
Not a day goes by that I don't drown in this flood
Feeling overwhelmed by emotions and memories.
And yes, not a day goes by without the sun shining through
Acknowledging positivity despite missing someone.
But not a day goes by without you
Highlighting the absence and longing for the person.
Not a day goes by that I don't wish for long ago
Wishing for a return to the past.
Songs that made me cry and friends that gave me a home
Remembering impactful songs and friendships.
And no, not a moment flies that I don't think what I'd give
Considering what one would give to relive those moments.
To call those moments mine again
Desiring to reclaim ownership of those cherished moments.
And if I don't tell you now, then when?
Urgency to express feelings before it's too late.
Time will keep spinning out
Time passing uncontrollably.
And then, the end
Contemplating the potential end of something.
No more holiday sweaters, your capital letters
Symbolizing a shift from happier times to a more somber reality.
Yeah things were better then
Nostalgia for a past when things felt better.
Now not a day goes by over and over again
Repetition emphasizing the constant presence of memories.
I memorized the stop signs
Recollection of familiar landmarks.
Those street lights that always took too long
Impatience and frustration with waiting.
Just paralyzed by goodbyes and your eyes
The impact of farewells and the comfort of familiar eyes.
They always brought me home
The sense of belonging associated with those eyes.
So what if we sing one more song?
Suggesting the possibility of revisiting memories through music.
And what if I dream the impossible dream the impossible dream that this is where I belong
Longing for a seemingly unattainable sense of belonging.
And if I don't tell you now, then when?
Reiteration of the urgency to express feelings.
Time will keep spinning out
Time's continuous passage.
And then, the end
Contemplating an impending conclusion.
Goodbye holiday sweaters, your capital letters
Symbolizing the end of joyful times.
Life was better then
Nostalgia for a past when life felt better.
Now not a day goes by over and over again
Emphasizing the repetitive nature of missing someone.
