Be Here
Nostalgic Reflections: Longing for Presence
Lyrics
you slipped in the stream of my thoughts
You entered my thoughts unexpectedly, like a slip in a stream.
sank in so deep then dried off
Your presence became profound but eventually faded away.
i'm sure there's a reason to it all
There's a likely purpose or explanation behind these experiences.
learning nostalgia's as heavy as a rock
Reflecting on the past carries a weight, much like a heavy rock.
things have been sweet since we talked
Life has been positive since our conversation.
i moved to the city with my songs
I relocated to the city, pursuing my dreams through music.
i guess it's what i've always dreamed but it's hard
The dream is challenging, contrary to expectations.
i saved a seat for you cause
I kept a place for you, anticipating your presence.
i thought you would be there
I expected your presence.
like you used to be
Similar to how it used to be.
i thought you would be here
I anticipated you being present.
here with me, here with me
With me, sharing the moment.
it's so weird to see every lunch
It's strange to witness each lunch or encounter.
we weren't meant to be so in touch
We weren't meant to maintain such close connection.
it makes separation too soft
Separation seems gentle, blurring the boundaries.
while you're on the streets that we'd walk
You're on the familiar streets we once walked together.
and it isn't right, but i can't resist
Despite knowing it's not right, the temptation to look remains.
they tell me don't even look, but my eyes wander a bit
Advisors suggest avoiding it, but my eyes wander into unfamiliar stories.
into the stories that i'm not a part of
Stories where I'm not included or involved.
i guess i wasn't expecting to be broken hearted
Unexpectedly experiencing heartbreak in this situation.
because i thought you would be there
Reiterating the expectation of your presence.
like you used to be
Similar to the way it used to be.
i thought you would be here
The hope that you would be present with me.
here with me, here with me
Sharing the moment together, as anticipated.
