What We Share
Shared Memories and Lost Love: Bryse Taylor's Melodic Reflections
Lyrics
Westerns on a hotel TV
Observing Western movies on a hotel TV
A glass filled for me
A drink prepared for the speaker
There's something I've felt before
Experiencing a familiar emotion
When I drink from a soda we share
Sharing a soda and feeling a connection
The light shines through your hair
Noticing the beauty of light in the partner's hair
What am I to do when I start to hear the stereo sigh out to me?
Feeling uncertain when the stereo emits a sigh
Memories from different sweet times
Recalling memories from various sweet moments
A cherry that glows from my lucky last
A symbolic cherry glowing from a fortunate past
Adorns a different smile
A smile with a different charm
Missed how you'd hold me in the night
Longing for the comforting embrace of the partner
But after a while, she made me forget
Being distracted from longing by someone else
Gifts that you gave me start to blend
Gifts from the past partner becoming indistinct
Into the rest of what we share
Blending of shared experiences into a collective memory
Reruns on a family TV
Watching reruns on a family TV
A line you'd repeat lost its sting
A repeated line losing its emotional impact
When she smiled and looked out to me
Recalling a moment with a new perspective
Asked what should we eat
Discussing mundane matters like what to eat
And then a tune that I've heard before
Hearing a familiar tune from the stereo
The stereo sighs out to me
Memories resurfacing through the stereo's sound
Memories from our sweet times
Reflecting on sweet shared moments
A cherry still glows, I will never ash
A persistent symbol (cherry) representing enduring love
For you
A commitment to not forgetting
Missed how she'd hold me in the night
Yearning for the comforting embrace of the past partner
But after a while, you made me forget
Being distracted from yearning by a new connection
Gifts that she gave me start to blend
Gifts from the new partner blending with the past
Into the rest of what we share
Integration of shared experiences with the current partner
Together
Embracing the shared journey together
