The Good Things
Embracing Memories: The Beauty in the Smallest Pebbles
Lyrics
I watched you pack
I observed you packing
I could feel my will go slack
I felt my determination weaken
I laid my body down for the vultures on that spring
I surrendered myself to criticism or attack, metaphorically likened to vultures, during that spring
Its funny what I miss
It's ironic what I long for
About the years we shared our kiss
About the times we shared our affectionate gestures
The smallest pebbles in the stream
The small difficulties or details in our relationship
I remember the way that she looked
I recall the appearance of a female, likely significant, in a specific moment
when she left that night
Describing the departure of the person mentioned in line 7, possibly with mixed emotions
all covered in roses
The person leaving was adorned or surrounded by roses
it must've been roses
The assumption that the adornment might have been roses
Please let me remember
Expressing a desire to retain memories
I wanna remember
Reiterating the wish to retain specific memories
only the good things
Focusing on recalling positive aspects only
only the good things
Emphasizing the desire to remember only positive things
Im out on our land
Currently situated on a shared piece of property
Watchin the bees go plant to plant
Observing bees pollinating and interacting with nature
and runnin around with my little hound
Playing with a small dog companion
while the floating falcon screams
While a bird of prey, metaphorically described as a floating falcon, vocalizes loudly
One year has gone
Indicating the passing of time
Your garden dirt has gotten soft and warm
Soil in a garden becoming more comfortable and inviting
And my every shovel fills like cream
Every action, even mundane tasks like shoveling, feels satisfying
I remember the way that she looked
Recalling the departure mentioned earlier
when she left that night
Describing the departure with an emphasis on the visual imagery of roses
all covered in roses
The assumption that the departure was adorned with roses
it must've been roses
Reiterating the assumption of roses
Please let me remember
Expressing the desire to remember specific aspects
I wanna remember
Reiterating the wish to focus on positive memories
only the good things
Emphasizing the desire to remember only positive things
only the good things
Repeating the emphasis on remembering the good aspects
Its only the good things
Stating that defining qualities are derived from positive experiences
That say who we are
Highlighting that positive experiences shape one's identity
Its only the good things
Stating that positive experiences are aspirational and reach for lofty goals
that reach for a star
Reiterating that positive experiences lead to aspirations
Its only the good things
Emphasizing that positive aspects define individuals
So come as you are
Encouraging acceptance of oneself, embracing positive aspects
its only the good things that shine
Stating that only positive things stand out or radiate
Whether or whether not
Indicating that positivity persists, regardless of external circumstances
