Where Do You Go
Lost Echoes: Charlotte Day Wilson's Soulful Quest for Connection
Lyrics
Where did you go today?
Expressing curiosity about the whereabouts of someone
Must have been lost, the wayfarer strays, I
Suggesting the person may have been lost, metaphorically as a wayfarer
I don't know the words to say
Acknowledging difficulty in finding the right words
So, "Nothing," I say, it's better that way, but
Choosing to say "Nothing" to avoid potential complications
Baby please, I know, I know
Pleading for understanding or cooperation
So take me please, I'll go, I'll go
Expressing a willingness to go along or comply
You've got me here, but you can't stay
Acknowledging the person's presence but noting their impermanence
There's nothing missing but you when you run away again
Feeling incomplete or empty when the person is absent
And I'm asking but you just can't say
Seeking an explanation for the person's actions
I thought that you had my back
Expressing a belief in the person's support or loyalty
You have been everywhere
Acknowledging the person's widespread experiences
Chasing away the day
Describing the person as a distraction or escape from reality
Facing away, you made it okay to please go and never stay
Suggesting a preference for the person to leave rather than stay
But where did you go today?
Repeating the question about the person's whereabouts
Could've been anywhere
Speculating on possible locations the person could be
But I believe there's something here that you should take in
Believing there's something valuable the person should take with them
Baby please, I know, I know
Reiterating the plea for understanding or cooperation
So take me please, I'll go, I'll go
Expressing a continued willingness to go along or comply
You brought me here, but you can't stay
Acknowledging the person's role in bringing them to a certain point
There's nothing missing but you when you run away, girl
Feeling incomplete or empty when the person runs away
And I'm asking what you just can't say
Seeking an explanation for the person's inability to communicate
Thought that you had my back, but you're not coming
Expressing disappointment or surprise at the person's absence
You got me here, but you can't stay
Reiterating the acknowledgment of the person's impermanence
There's nothing missing but you when you run away, girl
Feeling incomplete or empty when the person runs away again
And I'm asking what you just can't say
Seeking an explanation for the person's repeated actions
I thought that you had my back, but you're not coming
Expressing doubt or disappointment in the person's support
You got me here, but you can't stay
Repeating the acknowledgment of the person's impermanence
There's nothing missing but you when you run away, girl
Feeling incomplete or empty when the person runs away
And all I'm asking what you just can't say
Reiterating the plea for an explanation from the person
I thought that you had my back (thought that you had my back)
Expressing a perceived breach of trust or support
You got me here, but you can't stay
Reiterating the acknowledgment of the person's impermanence
There's nothing missing but you when you run away, girl
Feeling incomplete or empty when the person runs away again
And all I'm asking what you just can't say
Reiterating the plea for an explanation from the person
I thought that you had my back
Expressing disappointment or realization that the person may not have their back
