Hello or Goodbye
Navigating Love's Crossroads: Hello or Goodbye by Christon Gray
Lyrics
Is it hello? Is it hello or goodbye?
Expressing uncertainty about the nature of the interaction - whether it's a greeting or a farewell.
Which one am I to say?
Questioning which expression is appropriate to use in the given situation.
I don't wanna be fooled
Desire to avoid being deceived or misled.
Into falling in love with you
Expressing caution against falling in love hastily.
Will you stay for a while?
Asking if the person will stay around for some time.
It seems like we were just getting to know one another so well
Reflecting on a short-lived acquaintance and the feeling of getting to know someone well quickly.
But oh well
Acceptance of the situation, acknowledging that sometimes things don't go as planned.
Hello always means goodbye
Noting that saying "hello" often leads to eventual goodbyes.
So babe
Term of endearment used to address the person.
I won't stop telling you everyday how much I need you a round
Commitment to expressing the need for the person's presence daily.
I know you're up in the sky but I don't know when you'll be back down
Acknowledging the person's absence and uncertainty about their return.
I wake up looking for you but I guess it depends on the day
Expressing the daily search for the person upon waking up.
Hello, goodbye
Reiteration of the ambiguity between saying "hello" or "goodbye."
Just tell me which one to say
Seeking clarification on whether to greet or bid farewell.
My mother's voice was soft rain
Metaphorical description of the mother's voice as soft rain.
And my daddy's was more like a hurricane
Metaphorical description of the father's voice as more intense, like a hurricane.
Saying son you better learn to pray
Parental advice to learn to pray, emphasizing a need for guidance.
I'm like, the sun better learn to shine, I'm feeling blind
Feeling lost or in darkness, metaphorically expressed through the sun needing to learn to shine.
I been gone for a while
Indication of a prolonged absence.
And my daughter's days have been blue and gray
Observing the impact of the absence on the daughter's emotional state.
I can see the same story in her eyes
Noticing a familiar narrative in the daughter's eyes, suggesting shared struggles.
Saying
Introduction to a repeated line, indicating communication with the absent person.
I won't stop telling you everyday how much I need you a round
Repetition of the commitment to expressing daily need for the person's presence.
I know you're up in the sky but I don't know when you'll be back down
Reiteration of uncertainty about the person's return from the sky.
I wake up looking for you but I guess it depends on the day
Repetition of waking up looking for the absent person, dependent on the day.
I won't stop telling you everyday how much I need you a round
Repetition of the commitment to expressing daily need for the person's presence.
I know you're up in the sky but I don't know when you'll be back down
Reiteration of uncertainty about the person's return from the sky.
I wake up looking for you but I guess it depends on the day
Repetition of waking up looking for the absent person, dependent on the day.
Hello, goodbye
Final reiteration of the ambiguity between saying "hello" or "goodbye."
Just tell me which one to say
Request for guidance on whether to greet or bid farewell.
Hello, goodbye
Repetition of the request for guidance on whether to greet or bid farewell.
Just tell me which one to say
Final plea for clarity in choosing between "hello" or "goodbye."
