Different Life
Lost Dreams: Navigating Love's Crossroads in Carmen Justice's 'Different Life'
Lyrics
Where did the time go
Reflecting on the passage of time and wondering where it has gone.
Seems like yesterday we were the perfect combo
Nostalgically recalling a time when the speaker and someone else were a perfect match.
Don’t know how all our dreams went out the window
Expressing confusion about how their shared dreams have faded away.
Now I’m losing all my sleep thinking
Feeling troubled and losing sleep over thoughts of the person ("your ghost") in question.
Bout your ghost
Suggesting a lingering presence or memory of the person, possibly haunting the speaker.
I think you know
Implying that the person is aware of the impact they've had on the speaker.
Maybe in a different life
Expressing a wish for a different outcome or scenario in a parallel life.
We could be together
Envisioning a scenario where they could be in a relationship.
I’d be yours and you’d be mine
Describing a failed attempt at being together in the present.
It just didn’t work this time
Acknowledging that the current situation didn't work out.
Maybe in the future we’ll see if the stars align
Holding onto hope for a potential future reconciliation if circumstances align.
I know you’re sorry
Recognizing an apology but questioning the sincerity given a past romantic encounter.
But when you kissed her did you even think about me
Pondering the value of a moment when the person kissed someone else.
Was it worth the night that you drank too much whiskey
Highlighting a regrettable night involving excessive whiskey consumption.
I know that you’d be holding me if you loved me
Asserting that if there was true love, the person would be holding the speaker instead.
Won’t know what could be
Expressing uncertainty about what could have been.
Maybe in a different life
Reiterating the desire for an alternative life path.
We could be together
Imagining a scenario where a relationship could exist.
I’d be yours and you’d be mine
Recalling the failed attempt at being together in the present.
It just didn’t work this time
Acknowledging that the current situation didn't work out.
Maybe in the future we’ll see if the stars align
Maintaining hope for a future reunion if cosmic elements align.
We gotta say goodbye try not to cry
Facing the inevitability of saying goodbye and trying to hold back tears.
Its gonna end this way
Anticipating an ending to the relationship in a certain way.
Its like the flood kept rising
Comparing the relationship to a rising flood, possibly signifying overwhelming challenges.
We kept diving in til we weren’t safe
Continuing to engage in the relationship despite the increasing danger.
Never thought we’d be
Expressing surprise at becoming each other's history, indicating an unexpected turn of events.
Each other’s history
Observing a revelation on the other person's face regarding the shared history.
I see it on your face
Stressing the importance of knowing the other person will be okay before parting ways.
Before we go i need to know
Seeking reassurance about the other person's well-being before the separation.
You’ll be okay
Expressing personal assurance of coping and being okay after the separation.
Cause i’ll be okay
Reiterating the hope that the other person will be okay.
