Bernadette
Embracing the Unpredictable Journey: Bernadette's Life Lesson
Lyrics
She said don’t you ever worry about if our lives will ever work out
Expressing concern about the future of their lives.
I said I every breath I’ve ever taken I’ve wished I were somewhere else
Desire for a different life, feeling discontent with the present.
So we looked up into the stars and hoped for a kiss from god
Seeking guidance or a positive sign from a higher power.
And fell asleep in each other’s arms in our parked car
Sharing an intimate moment and finding comfort in each other.
Our future was so far
Reflecting on a distant and uncertain future.
Bernadette
Introduction of the character Bernadette.
Our lives didn’t run like we thought they would
Realization that their lives didn't follow the expected path.
But trust in the path
Encouraging trust in the journey despite unforeseen circumstances.
There’s no use looking back
Discouraging dwelling on the past.
Bernadette
Reiteration of the name Bernadette.
Our stars didn’t land where we thought they’d fall
Acknowledging that their fortunes didn't align with expectations.
But pay it no mind
Advising not to be bothered by it.
A rose blooms in it’s time
Emphasizing that positive things take time.
One day we’ll have answers
Hopeful anticipation of finding answers in the future.
Oh Bernadette
Reiteration of the name Bernadette.
I asked didn’t you think we’d have more by the time we got to this age
Expressing disappointment about their current life stage.
She said red wine and debt are the only religion to which I pray
Indicating that personal struggles, represented by red wine and debt, dominate.
So our thoughts fell like rain on a dry January night
Comparing their thoughts to rain, symbolizing their impact and potential destruction.
That could wipe away an entire city just before twilight
Highlighting the unpredictable nature of their future.
Our future was once bright
Recalling a brighter past that contrasts with the present.

At night I walk down State all alone with my thoughts
Reflecting on personal thoughts while walking alone at night.
And what scares me the most is if they led me to here and now
Expressing doubt and fear about the reliability of one's own decisions.
How can I trust them at all?
Raising questions about trust in personal choices.
