Lyrics
It's been five years since you've been gone
Expressing the passage of five years since the person addressed has been absent.
And now, oh, how the time has passed me by
Reflecting on the swift passage of time since the person's departure.
But sometimes it's as though you're with me now
Suggesting that, at times, there is a feeling of the absent person's presence.
I think about you all the time
Expressing constant thoughts about the absent individual.
Generally, all she's got's so down
Describing a state where the person addressed seems emotionally low or troubled.
Something's got to give to turn things 'round
Indicating a need for a change or resolution to improve the current situation.
Generally, all she's got's so down
Reiterating the emotional low state of the person addressed.
And now the world's been catching up to you
Observing that the world has caught up to the addressed person.
And you have gone before your time
Mourning the premature departure of the person before their expected time.
So much has changed, so much is new and now
Highlighting significant changes and new developments since the person's absence.
And yet it's still so high to climb
Despite changes, acknowledging the persistent challenges or difficulties to overcome.
Generally, all she's got's so down
Reiterating the emotional low state of the person addressed.
Something's got to give to turn things 'round
Stressing the need for a positive change to reverse the current situation.
Generally, all she's got's so down
Reiterating the emotional low state of the person addressed.
Generally, all she's got's so down
Emphasizing once again the emotional low state of the person.
Something's got to give to turn things round
Reiterating the need for a change to bring about a positive turnaround.
Generally, all she's got's so down
Concluding with a repetition of the emotional struggles faced by the person addressed.
