Back to Memphis
Back to Memphis: A Heartfelt Journey of Love's Distance
Lyrics
I don't have to say it, you know that I'm tired
I am expressing my fatigue without explicitly stating it, assuming you understand.
Of talking every night through telephone wires
Tired of conversing over long distances using phone lines every night.
It ain't the same, a long distance kiss
Emphasizing the difference between a distant kiss and the physical closeness of lips.
As feeling my lips pressed against your lips
Highlighting the intimacy of physical contact compared to a virtual kiss.
So I gotta do what I gotta do, to get me closer to you
Willing to take any necessary action to be closer to you.
Just staring at the headlights
Describing the act of focusing on the headlights, possibly while driving.
Rollin with the windows down
Driving with windows down, indicating a sense of freedom or urgency.
I'm running every redlight
Disregarding traffic signals, symbolizing a strong desire to reach the destination quickly.
To see how fast I can leave this town
Expressing the urgency to leave the current location.
And there's a hundred miles separating what stands between me and you
Highlighting the considerable distance between the speaker and the listener.
And I've got the blues, here I go
Feeling melancholic or sad about the situation, expressing "the blues."
Back to Memphis
Deciding to return to Memphis, possibly a significant place in the relationship.
Hands on the wheel, foot on the gas
Driving with determination, hands on the wheel, foot on the gas pedal.
I'm headed towards you and I ain't looking back
Commitment to moving forward and not dwelling on the past.
Stopping for nothing, drive through the night
Continuing the journey without any interruptions, pushing through obstacles.
I'll be in your arms before the sunrise
Expecting to reunite with the listener before the morning.
Just staring at the headlights
Continuing the imagery of staring at headlights, possibly lost in thought or determination.
Rollin with the windows down
Driving with an open attitude, allowing external elements to be part of the experience.
I'm running every redlight
Continuing to ignore traffic signals, emphasizing the urgency.
To see how fast I can leave this town
Reiterating the desire to leave the current location swiftly.
There's a hundred miles separating what stands between me and you
Repeating the significant distance between the speaker and the listener.
And I've got the blues, here I go
Reiterating the emotional state of having the blues while heading back to Memphis.
Back to Memphis
Affirming the decision to return to Memphis for the listener.
Just doing what I gotta do, to get me closer to you
Commitment to doing whatever it takes to be closer to the listener.
Just staring at the headlights
Continuing the focus on headlights, possibly indicating determination or anticipation.
Rollin with the windows down
Driving with windows down, possibly enjoying the journey despite the urgency.
I'm running every redlight
Persisting in ignoring traffic signals, symbolizing a relentless pursuit.
To see how fast I can leave this town
Reiterating the urgency to leave the current location swiftly.
There's a hundred miles separating what stands between me and you
Repeating the significant distance between the speaker and the listener.
And I've got the blues, here I go
Reiterating the emotional state of having the blues while heading back to Memphis.
Back to Memphis
Affirming the decision to return to Memphis for the listener.
