Lyrics
And Aubrey was her name,
Introducing the character Aubrey, emphasizing her significance.
A not so very ordinary girl or name
Describing Aubrey as unique or not ordinary.
But who's to blame?
Pondering who or what is responsible for the love not flourishing.
For a love that wouldn't bloom
Expressing the failure of love to blossom.
For the hearts that never played in tune
Highlighting hearts that never harmonized, love that never synchronized.
Like a lovely melody that everyone can sing,
Comparing love to a beautiful melody that loses meaning without words that rhyme.
Take away the words that rhyme it doesn't mean a thing
Stressing the importance of meaningful connection in love.
And Aubrey was her name
Reiterating Aubrey's significance in the speaker's life.
We tripped the light and danced together to the moon,
Recalling joyful moments, dancing under the moonlight.
But where was June
Questioning the absence of happiness (June) in the relationship.
No it never came around
June never arriving, symbolizing unfulfilled expectations.
If it did it never made a sound,
Speculating on the silence of June, if it ever existed.
Maybe I was absent or was listening to fast,
Considering personal shortcomings or distractions as a reason for not realizing the significance of June.
Catching all the words, but then the meaning going past,
Acknowledging the comprehension of words but missing their deeper meaning.
But God I miss the girl,
Expressing the speaker's deep longing for Aubrey.
And I'd go a thousand times around the world just to be
Willingness to go to great lengths to be close to Aubrey.
Closer to her than to me
Comparing the closeness desired to be more significant than the speaker's own existence.
And Aubrey was her name,
Repeating Aubrey's name, emphasizing its importance.
I never knew her, but I loved her just the same,
Expressing love for Aubrey even without knowing her personally.
I loved her name
Highlighting affection for Aubrey's name itself.
Wish that I had found the way
Expressing regret for not finding a way to be with Aubrey.
And the reasons that would make her stay
Reflecting on the potential reasons that could have made Aubrey stay.
I have learned to lead a life apart from all the rest
Adapting to a life without Aubrey, learning to live separately.
If I can't have the one I want, I'll do without the best
Choosing to go without the best if unable to have the desired one.
But how I miss the girl
Reiterating the deep longing for Aubrey.
And I'd go a million times around the world just to say
Expressing a willingness to go to extreme lengths to claim Aubrey, even if just for a day.
She had been mine for a day
Reflecting on the fleeting nature of possession, acknowledging the desire to have had Aubrey for a brief moment.
