Can't Lose You
Navigating Life's Changes: A Reflection on Connection and Purpose
Lyrics
So you're gone but i know you're not so far away
Despite physical separation, the speaker believes the person is still emotionally close.
You're a call on the phone or a ride on a plane
The person is accessible through communication (phone) or a visit (plane).
But that just isn't the same, yeah well
Despite the means of connection, it doesn't replace physical presence.
That's OK because i was never home anyway
The speaker was often away, suggesting a transient lifestyle.
So now everyone's evolving and i am just the same
While others are changing, the speaker feels stagnant or unchanged.
As i was ten years ago, but i don't know
The speaker reflects on their unchanged state over the past decade.
Maybe the simple life is more the way to go
Contemplating if a simpler life would be better.
But then again, I'm mostly all alone
The speaker is often alone, questioning the choice of simplicity.
'Cause I'm losing everyone
Expressing a sense of losing connections with people.
But i know i can't lose you
Despite losing others, the speaker is confident in not losing this person.
And maybe my time will come
Hoping that the speaker's time for positive change will come.
But i know i can't lose you
Reiterating the certainty of not losing the person despite other losses.
The older i get well the more that life is making sense
Understanding life more as one ages.
And it's similar to traffic of being president
Comparing life to the complexity of traffic and the responsibility of being a president.
'Cause I'm not the one in control
The realization that the speaker is not in control of life's course.
You grab a hold
Suggesting a surrender to fate or a higher power.
I'm just a hammer helping to nail the future down
Metaphorically, the speaker is a tool in shaping the future.
But it's getting hard making my friends leave town
Expressing difficulty in saying goodbye to friends who are leaving.
But maybe i missed the nose right on my face
Reflecting on potential oversight in recognizing opportunities or blessings.
For what's just past it
Suggesting a realization just after missing an opportunity.
And maybe i have the gift that everyone speaks to highly of
Considering the possibility of possessing a valuable but unappreciated gift.
Funny how nobody wants it
Highlighting the irony that a desirable gift is often rejected by others.
