Always Around
Longing in Seasons: Running Back to Love
Lyrics
By the sidelines patiently
Waiting patiently on the sidelines
You wait until our game is through
Waiting for the game to finish
I've got my one eye on the ball
Focused on the ball, but aware of someone else
And the other on you
Aware of another person, divided attention
My other on you
Reiteration of divided attention
Our summer days drifted away
Reflecting on past summer days
Our summer nights
Not satisfied with past summer nights
Weren't great anyway
Negative assessment of summer nights
Now there is snow
Transition to a different season (winter)
And I want you to know
Expressing a desire to communicate something
I'm running back
Announcing the intention to return
I'm running to you
Expressing the act of heading back to someone
I wish I could have timed it well
Expressing regret about timing
I've got enough things to say
Having a lot to say
Can you wait a down or two
Asking for patience for a short period
It's just that I've
Reiteration of having a game to play
A game to play
Stating the engagement in a game
It's just that I've
Repetition of being occupied with a game
A game to play
Emphasizing the commitment to the game
Our summer days drifted away
Recalling the passage of summer days
Our summer nights
Criticizing the quality of past summer nights
Weren't great anyway
Reiteration of dissatisfaction with summer nights
Twenty below
Describing extremely cold weather
And I want you to know
Expressing the desire to convey something
I'm running back
Announcing the return with a sense of urgency
I'm running to you
Reiterating the act of heading back to someone
Always around
Consistently being present or available
