Born in the 90s
Nostalgic Echoes: Unveiling the Sentiment Behind 'Born in the 90s'
Lyrics
Born in the 90s, can you tell?
Reflecting on being born in the 90s, questioning if others can perceive this aspect of identity.
I haven't seen you for a minute
Expressing a period of time since the last meeting or encounter with someone.
Moved to the other side of town
Relocating to a different part of town.
I haven't seen you for a minute
Reiterating the absence of encounters with the person.
Ah yeah, where did all our time go? Honestly I don't know
Reflecting on the passage of time and the uncertainty of where it went.
It chips away
Time takes a toll on something, possibly emotions or a relationship.
Well I thought of you when I was driving home
Recalling thoughts about the person while driving.
And I slept with you when I was on my own
Referencing a connection or intimacy experienced when alone.
I thought of you when I talk to our friends
Thinking of the person while interacting with mutual friends.
Thinking how real this could be if you'd been here with me
Contemplating the potential reality if the person had been present in various situations.
If you'd been here with me
-If you'd been here with me
-Thinking how far this could go
Considering the possibilities of the relationship's development.
If you had been really with me
Reflecting on the depth of connection if the person had truly been present.
If you had been really with me
-She said 'darling, darling don't overthink it
Receiving advice or reassurance to avoid overthinking and stressing about the situation.
Darling, darling try not to stress it
-Let it go, let it go'
-Ah yeah, summertime spent with you, now you're leaving for a month or two
Recalling shared experiences during summertime and acknowledging an upcoming separation.
And I'll see you soon I know, see you soon I know
-Oh I thought of you when I was driving home
Repeating the theme of thinking about the person in various situations and longing for their presence.
And I slept with you when I was on my own
-I thought of you when I talked to our friends
-Thinking how real this could be if you'd been here with me
-If you'd been here with me
-If you'd been here with me
-Thinking how far this could go
Contemplating the potential depth of the relationship if the person had truly been there.
If you had been really with me
-If you had been really with me
-Looking out at the view
Describing a change in the environment and emotional state after the person's departure.
Looking out at the view
-Drinking wine
-Feeling fine
-Now there is no you
-Now there is no you
-No breeze
-And now there is no view
-I thought of you when I was moving home
Continuing to think of the person in different contexts and imagining the reality if they were present.
Still sleep with you when I am on my own
-And I think of you in a city of new friends
-Thinking how real this could be if you'd been here with me
-Thinking how real this could be if you'd been here with me
-Thinking how far this could go
-If you had been really with me
-If you had been really with me
Reflecting on the depth of connection that could have existed if the person had truly been there.
