Crazy
Echoes of a Lost Future: Cole Jacob's Reflections on Love and Loss
Lyrics
Is it crazy
Expressing uncertainty or questioning the sanity of a situation.
That
Emphasis on the contemplation of a specific matter.
I'm thinking 'bout what we would.ve named our children
Reflecting on thoughts about potential children and their characteristics.
Who they'd be most like and how we were gonna raise them
Considering the shared responsibility of raising children together.
I know it's pathetic but I just can't erase them
Admitting difficulty in forgetting those thoughts and memories.
Is it crazy
Repetition of questioning the sanity of thoughts or emotions.
That
Reiterating the preoccupation with various imagined scenarios.
I'm making up 400 different situations
Creating multiple hypothetical situations involving reconciliation.
Where we'd get back together and nobody'd lose their patience
Desiring a reunion without the strain of impatience.
Instead of cutting ties and turning over pages
Contrasting the desire for reconciliation with the reality of separation.
Oh, I see a future that's all in my head
Envisioning a future that exists only in the speaker's imagination.
Cause, I got a past with you that I can't forget
Acknowledging an unforgettable past shared with someone.
So, I sit alone inside my room instead
Choosing solitude as a response to the unresolved emotions.
Cause I'm neither here nor there
Feeling emotionally detached or uncertain about the present.
Is it crazy
Repetition of questioning the rationality of emotions.
I, Still drive past the condo we had picked out
Continuing to revisit places associated with past shared experiences.
We could barely afford it but I knew we'd make it somehow
Recalling a time when financial challenges were faced together.
Long as we had each other we were down for it all
Emphasizing a commitment to each other through thick and thin.
And it's crazy
Reiteration of the emotional impact of the past relationship.
That, you filled up every blank page in my future
Highlighting the significant role the person played in shaping the speaker's future.
Till you ripped them all out with one handwritten letter
Describing the abrupt end of the relationship through a handwritten letter.
Oh, I'm glad to see you're doing better
Expressing relief at the other person's apparent recovery or well-being.
But now
Introducing a shift in perspective or realization of the current situation.
I see a future that's all in my head
Repeating the theme of envisioning a future, possibly indicating persistent thoughts.
Cause, I got a past with you that I can't forget
Reaffirming the indelible nature of the shared past.
So, I sit alone inside my room instead
Continuing the theme of solitary reflection and emotional ambiguity.
Cause I'm neither here nor there
Reiteration of feeling neither present nor absent emotionally.
I'm neither here nor there
Repeating the sense of emotional detachment or ambiguity.
I still think about
Persisting thoughts about specific details, like the color of walls, from the past.
The colour of walls that you wanted
Recalling a preference or choice related to shared living space.
You could've painted them neon for all I cared
Indicating a lack of concern for material things compared to the desire for the person.
Cause all I really wanted was you
Expressing a simple desire for the person over material possessions.
All I wanted was you
Repetition of the fundamental desire for the person.
Is it crazy I still think how there was
Reflecting on the belief that the speaker offered everything possible.
Nothing more that I could've offered
Highlighting a perception that the other person thought they were insufficient.
You never thought you had enough for me baby
Acknowledging the perceived inadequacy and emphasizing the primary desire for the person.
But all I really wanted was you
Repetition of the core desire for the person despite perceived inadequacy.
All I wanted was you
Reiteration of the primary desire for the person.
And all I wanted was to say I do
Expressing a desire for a commitment or union through marriage.
All I wanted was to say I do
Repetition of the desire for a committed relationship through marriage.
