Lyrics

He was a very special, warm and gentle person

Expressing admiration for someone special, warm, and gentle who contributed music and spoke in rhyme.

Who put music in the world and spoken in rhyme

Highlighting the impact of the person on the world through music and poetic expression.

And it hurts me that I never really knew him

Expressing regret for not truly knowing the person and feeling hurt about it.

'Cause all it would have taken was some time

Reflecting on the missed opportunity to know the person better and acknowledging time as a key factor.

You know he always seemed to be there when I stumbled

Recognizing the person's supportive presence during challenging times.

And when mountains got too steep for me to climb

Describing the person's assistance when faced with difficult situations.

And it tears me up to think I never touched him

Expressing sadness for not having a deeper connection and physical contact with the person.

'Cause all it would have taken was some time

Reiterating that time could have bridged the gap and deepened the relationship.


Ain't that just the way that life goes

Reflecting on the unpredictable nature of life, its ups and downs, and the missed opportunities to connect with someone important.

Down, down, down, down

-

Movin' way too fast or much too slow

-

I'm gettin' up, gettin' high, gettin' down

-

Gettin' no, no, nowhere

-

But not getting into someone I should know

-

Ain't that just the way that life goes

Repeating the theme of life's unpredictability and missed connections with someone significant.

Down, down, down, down

-

Movin' way too fast or much too slow

-

I'm gettin' up, gettin' high, gettin' down

-

Gettin' no, no, nowhere

-

But not getting into someone I should know

-

Ain't that just, ain't that just

Emphasizing the repeated notion of not getting to know someone important.

Ain't that just, ain't that just

-

Ain't that just, ain't that just

-

But not getting into someone I should know

-

Now he's in another place and I can't reach him

Expressing the inability to reach the person who is now in another place, feeling guilt for a perceived crime.

And I feel as though I'm guilty of a crime

Feeling a sense of guilt for not being able to connect with the person in time.

I took all he had to give and gave him nothing

Acknowledging that the person gave a lot, while the speaker feels they gave nothing in return.

And all it would have taken was some time

Stressing that time could have made a difference in the relationship.


Ain't that just the way

Repeating the phrase "Ain't that just the way," emphasizing the inevitability of life's twists and turns.

Ain't that just the way

-

Ain't that just the way

-

Ain't that just the way

-

Ain't that just the way that life goes

Reiterating the unpredictable nature of life and the missed chance to connect with someone significant.

Down, down, down, down

-

Movin' way too fast or much too slow

-

I'm gettin' up, gettin' high, gettin' down

-

Gettin' no, no, nowhere

-

But not getting into someone I should know

-

Ain't that just the way that life goes

Repeating the theme of life's unpredictability and the missed opportunity to know someone important.

Down, down, down, down

-

Movin' way too fast or much too slow

Gettin' no, no, nowhere

But not getting into someone I should know

-

Ain't that just, ain't that just

Reemphasizing the idea of not getting to know someone important despite the repetitive nature of life.

Ain't that just, ain't that just

-

Ain't that just, ain't that just

-

But not getting into someone I should know
