When We Were 18
Rescuing Memories: When Friendship Lit Up
Lyrics
Not sure what gave it away
Expressing uncertainty about what was revealed or understood.
My text was short it said 'I'm ok'
Describing a brief message conveying that everything is okay.
I guess you know me way too well
Acknowledging that the sender is well-known to the receiver.
You lit up my phone screen
Referring to the act of receiving a call, indicating connection.
A light in the dark
Metaphorically describing the caller as a guiding light in difficult times.
Wouldn't stop calling 'til I finally picked up
Highlighting persistence in trying to establish communication.
Until I finally picked up
-And you said
Transitioning into a conversation initiated by the caller.
Grab your coat
Inviting the recipient to join for an outing, reminiscing about the past.
I'll meet you outside
-In my dad's car
-I'll be there in five
-We've been friends for such a long time
Acknowledging a long-standing friendship.
It breaks my heart to hear you cry
Expressing sadness at hearing the friend cry.
Ooooh
Conveying emotional response through vocalization (Ooooh).
Ooooh
-Ooooh
-We sped through the streets I'll never forget
Recalling a memorable car ride, leaving troubles behind.
All problems behind us the horizon ahead
-The sunset was golden and red
-(Red)
Emphasizing the beauty of the sunset with the color red.
City lights flew by shadows grew long
Describing the journey, with music providing solace.
The radio was playing 2016 songs
-And I found a reason to hold on
-And you said
Repeating the invitation to meet, reinforcing connection.
Grab your coat
-I'll meet you outside
-In my dad's car
-I'll be there in five
-We've been friends for such a long time
Affirming the enduring friendship and shared experiences.
You pick the music while I drive
-Ooooh
Reiterating emotional response through vocalization (Ooooh).
Ooooh
-Ooooh
-Do you know you saved me
Expressing gratitude for saving and uplifting during a difficult time at 18.
When we were 18
-I was so close to breaking in two
-You stopped my fall
-And just for one moment
-Lifted me up and I was new
-Do you know you saved me
Repeating the theme of being saved and renewed at 18.
When we were 18
-I was so close to breaking in two
-You stopped my fall
-And just for one moment
-Lifted me up and I was new
-Do you know you saved me
Continuing to acknowledge the impact of the friend in saving and lifting up.
When we were 18
-Do you know you saved me
-When we were 18
-Do you know you saved me
-When we were 18
-I was so close to breaking in two
-You stopped my fall
-And just for one moment
-Lifted me up and I was new
-Grab your coat
Closing with a repetition of the invitation, emphasizing the enduring friendship and loyalty.
I'll meet you outside
-In my dad's car
-I'll be there in five
-We've been friends for such a long time
-No one is getting left behind
