Lyrics
It's been three years
Expressing the passage of three years.
and oh my God
Surprise and disbelief at seeing someone.
I can't believe I'm seeing you
Expressing amazement at the current situation.
Never thought that we would be in the same room
Reflecting on the unexpected circumstance of being in the same room.
And my heart's pounding like the first time I saw you
Feeling a strong emotional response, reminiscent of the initial encounter.
It was autumn; you had summer on your skin
Recalling a past autumn and describing the person's physical presence.
I wish I could go back and tell me then
Wishing to communicate with past self about the future.
Yeah, he's safe, but you'll never be the same
Acknowledging safety but anticipating irreversible change.
So Take It In while you can
Encouraging to absorb the moment.
It's a string of little moments
Life is composed of brief, significant events.
And they're gone before you know it
Emphasizing the fleeting nature of these moments.
And it's out of your hands
Accepting the lack of control over life events.
Life just keeps on rollin'
Describing the continuous progression of life.
Can't control or try to hold on
Recognizing the inability to grasp or retain every experience.
To the what it might have been
Letting go of fantasies about alternate outcomes.
Mmmh, Mmmh
Non-verbal expression, possibly indicating emotion.
When you moved west, I knew it was the end of you and me
Acceptance of the end of a past relationship due to relocation.
And my memories are nothing but sweet
Fond memories despite the end of the relationship.
Yeah, I truly wish you the best
Sincere wishes for the well-being of the other person.
I can see she's wearing your ring
Observing the person's marital status through a ring.
Yeah, it's on the hand it's meant to be
Noting the appropriateness of the ring placement.
It's safe to say she'll never be the same
Acknowledging inevitable changes in the person's life.
So Take It In while you can
Encouraging mindfulness of the current moment.
It's a string of little moments
Reiterating the transient nature of significant moments.
And they're gone before you know it
Highlighting the brevity of meaningful experiences.
And it's out of your hands
Emphasizing the lack of control over life's course.
Life just keeps on rolling
Continuing the theme of life's ongoing progression.
Can't control or try to hold on
Acceptance of the uncontrollable nature of life.
To the what it might have been
Letting go of imagined alternate paths in life.
Mmmh, Mmmh
Non-verbal expression, possibly indicating reflection.
I don't regret where life has taken me
Expressing contentment with life's journey.
But seeing you here reminds me to
Seeing someone triggers a reminder to appreciate life.
Take It In while you can
Reiterating the importance of seizing the moment.
It's a string of little moments
Emphasizing the transient nature of meaningful experiences.
And they're gone before you know it
Highlighting the brevity of significant moments.
And it's out of your hands
Acknowledging the lack of control over life's trajectory.
Life just keeps on rollin
Continuing the theme of life's continuous progression.
Can't control or try to hold on
Acceptance of the inability to control every aspect of life.
To the what it might have been
Letting go of imagined alternative life scenarios.
Oh, Take It In while you can
Encouraging mindfulness of the present moment.
It's a string of little moments
Reiterating the fleeting nature of significant moments.
And they're gone before you know it
Highlighting the brevity of meaningful experiences.
And it's out of your hands
Emphasizing the lack of control over life's course.
Life just keeps on rollin
Continuing the theme of life's continuous progression.
Can't control or try to hold on
Acceptance of the uncontrollable nature of life.
To the what it might have been
Letting go of imagined alternate paths in life.
Mmmh, Mmmh
Non-verbal expression, possibly indicating reflection or emotion
