All Along
Longing Echoes: Lost Love's Haunting Melody
Lyrics
Seems like yesterday but years have passed us by
Reflecting on the passage of time, feeling like it was just yesterday despite the years that have gone by.
Precious memories are clear before my eyes
Treasuring clear and vivid memories from the past.
I can hear your voice calling out my name
Hearing the familiar sound of a voice calling out one's name.
But I don't know you now, nothing stays the same
Expressing a sense of unfamiliarity and change, acknowledging that nothing remains constant.
All along I have wanted you
Longing for someone throughout the journey of life.
I pray tonight that you want me, too
Expressing a hope and desire for mutual feelings and connection.
All along there was no one else
Affirming that there has been no other romantic interest.
I've been waiting here all by myself
Waiting patiently and alone for the return or reciprocation of feelings.
If you were here with me we'd ride the ocean tide
Imagining shared experiences and adventures if the person were present.
To that special place I help for you deep inside
Referring to a special, intimate place held in the heart for the absent person.
I've kept good company since you've been away
Keeping good company but acknowledging the absence of the significant person.
Lonely stayed with me with pride began to fade
Enduring loneliness and the fading of pride in the absence of the person.
All along I have wanted you
Reiterating the persistent desire for the absent person.
I pray tonight that you want me, too
Expressing a prayerful wish for mutual affection and connection.
All along there was no one else
Reaffirming that there has been no alternative romantic involvement.
I've been waiting here all by myself
Continuing to wait patiently and in solitude.
And I will follow you til the end of time
Committing to follow the person until the end of time.
Til our love is at the end of the line
Anticipating a conclusion to their love story.
You rolled out of my life just like the wind
Comparing the departure of the person to the swift and unnoticed nature of the wind.
And left behind a broken heart
Describing the emotional aftermath of the departure as a broken heart.
All along I have wanted you
Reiterating the enduring desire for the absent person.
I pray tonight that you want me, too
Expressing the same hopeful desire for mutual feelings and connection.
All along there was no one else
Affirming the exclusivity of the emotional attachment to the absent person.
I've been waiting here all by myself
Persisting in waiting patiently and in solitude.
