Eternal Promises and Homesick Memories: Brennan Savage's Reflection
Lyrics
"I'm never gonna run out on you
I am committed to staying with you and not abandoning you.
Ever again say the words" "No"
I will never again utter the word "No" in response to our relationship.
"My coat"
A reference to a personal item, possibly symbolizing protection or identity.
"Well, I ain't ever gonna run out on you
I will not leave you, and this commitment is a firm promise.
And that's a promise"
Reiterating the commitment to not running out on the person.
"Well, I want to run out of here, so-"
Expressing a desire to escape or leave the current situation.
Everybody told me, "Keep on going"
Encountering advice from others to keep moving forward.
But I can't go without you
Unable to proceed without the person being addressed.
People keep telling me to keep on looking
People advise to continue searching, but it's challenging without the person.
But I can't see without you
Struggling to see or make progress in life without the presence of the person.
I don't wanna die while my momma alive
Fearing death while the speaker's mother is alive, as she shouldn't be left alone.
Because she can't be alone
Expressing concern for the mother's well-being when left alone.
I just want to tell you the way I feel
Desire to communicate true feelings, hindered by the absence of the person.
But now I can't 'cause you're gone
The inability to express feelings now that the person is no longer present.
We were so young in a world so cold
Reflecting on a past when both were young, in a world that felt cold.
Why do some die young
Pondering why some individuals die young while others grow old.
While the rest grow old?
A question about the unfairness of life's brevity for some.
I would trade my life if
Expressing a willingness to trade one's life for the return of the person.
It meant you'd return
Willing to endure hardships (even hell) to bring the person back.
To send you to heaven, in hell
A deep emotional commitment, even if it means sacrificing for the person's well-being.
I would burn for you
Expressing a willingness to endure suffering for the person.
The tears grow long while I write this song
Tears persist while writing a song, indicating emotional pain and longing.
Never thought a month would feel this long
Feeling that time is passing slowly, possibly emphasizing the pain of the absence.
My friend, will I ever find peace again?
Questioning whether peace will ever be found after the person's departure.
I don't know, show me a sign if you can
Seeking a sign or indication of hope in the face of emotional turmoil.
I'm holding on to the memories that I have
Clutching onto memories from the past when both were young.
When we were young
Recalling that the past, particularly when young, represented the best times.
They were the best times I ever had
Acknowledging the person's role in teaching the importance of home beyond a physical space.
You taught me, that home's not just a house
Expressing deep longing or homesickness for the person.
I've been so homesick for you darling even-
Continuing to feel homesick for the person, using the term "darling" with affection.
"Hey, I got something to show you"
