Lyrics
So I sit here writing words in our old place
Reflecting on memories by writing in a familiar place.
They all come out as letters
Expressing thoughts that turn into written letters.
And I contemplate mistakes that we all make
Contemplating common mistakes made by everyone.
Start and the ending of eras
Acknowledging the start and end of significant periods.
When mystery fades
When the unknown becomes clear, addressing issues.
We identify the problems
Recognizing problems as they emerge.
But, they may not be problems after all
Questioning whether identified issues are genuine problems.
Shock and dismay, they affect what we say
Expressing surprise and disappointment affecting speech.
We should bite our tongues, we should bite our tongues
Advising restraint in speech to avoid negative consequences.
'Cause after all, it's only our lives anyway
Highlighting the insignificance of personal problems in the grand scheme.
And I can't let it bother me
Choosing not to be bothered by difficulties.
If fact and fate just can't agree on love, on life
Accepting the discord between reality and destiny in love and life.
Can't we stop taking ourselves too seriously?
Advocating for a lighter, less serious approach to life.
So I sit here carving words into the wall
Carving words into a surface, reminiscent of the past.
Words that remind me of just how I was
Creating reminders of one's former self.
I never felt as old and lonely as I felt
Recalling a sense of age and loneliness during past love.
When I was young and in love
Nostalgia for youth and love.
When mystery fades
When uncertainties become apparent, addressing issues.
We identify the problems
Recognizing problems as they arise.
But, they may not be problems after all
Questioning the nature of identified problems.
Shock and dismay, they affect what we say
Expressing the impact of surprise and disappointment on speech.
We should bite our tongues, we should bite our tongues
Advocating for restraint in speech to avoid negative consequences.
'Cause after all, it's only our lives anyway
Reiterating the insignificance of personal problems in the grand scheme.
And I can't let it bother me
Choosing not to be bothered by difficulties.
If fact and fate just can't agree on love, on life
Accepting the discord between reality and destiny in love and life.
Can't we stop taking ourselves too seriously?
Advocating for a lighter, less serious approach to life.
Can't let it bother me
Choosing not to be bothered by difficulties.
If fact and fate just can't agree on love, on life
Accepting the discord between reality and destiny in love and life.
Can't we stop taking ourselves too seriously?
Advocating for a lighter, less serious approach to life.
Too seriously
(Repetition of the call for a less serious attitude)
Too seriously
