South of Forever
South of Forever: Echoes of Love and Loss
Lyrics
Little faint but the paint ain't wore off the tower
Despite the passage of time, the significance of a structure remains intact.
And our names still engraved on the oak out in Dallas
Names are still inscribed on a tree in Dallas, symbolizing a lasting connection.
But the pain still hangs like that "Go Cats!" banner
Persistent emotional pain is likened to a sports banner, emphasizing its enduring nature.
Even rain can't wash away the feeling when I had her
Rain can't erase the emotional imprint left by a past relationship.
So tell me, if this all that lasts, the memories that we have, I swear that I'll remember
Expressing a commitment to cherish memories even if they are the only lasting remnants.
But take me, where heartbreak never shows, where love is all we know when we were Together
Yearning for a place without heartbreak, where love defines the shared experiences.
Just south of forever
Symbolizing an ideal location or state of being, just south of forever.
Little late but the weights been holding us down
Feeling burdened and delayed by unresolved issues or challenges.
Mom and dad said some things just ain't working out
Parents acknowledge that some aspects of their relationship are not functioning well.
The Diamond still shines but the love don't
While material success endures, the emotional connection has faded.
Her tears fall, as he walks out the door
A poignant scene of a breakup, with tears falling as one person departs.
So tell me, if this all that lasts, the memories that they had, I swear that I'll remember
Commitment to remembering the shared memories of a past relationship.
So take me, where heartbreaks never show, where love is all we know when they were Together
Desire to return to a time when heartbreak was absent, and love defined their togetherness.
Just south of forever
Reiteration of the ideal place or state, just south of forever.
The years go fast and the days go slow
Reflection on the uneven passage of time, with years feeling fast and days slow.
Cause he ain't here anymore
Acknowledgment of someone's absence, highlighting the void left behind.
And here I stand in my best clothes and his name written in the stone
Standing at a grave site, dressed in the best clothes, with a name engraved in stone.
So tell me, if this all that lasts, the memories that we had, I swear that I'll remember
Reaffirming the commitment to remember shared memories even after loss.
So take me, where heartbreaks never show, where love is all we know when you off to Heaven
Expressing a desire to be in a place without heartbreak, where love continues in heaven.
Just south of forever
Final emphasis on an ideal location or state, just south of forever.
