My Goodness
My Goodness: A Melodic Journey of Reflection and Redemption
Lyrics
MY GOODNESS
Introduction: "MY GOODNESS"
You were somethin' like a dream,
Describing someone as a dream, possibly distant or unattainable.
Livin' half a world away.
Reference to physical distance, emphasizing separation.
Like a little part of me,
Feeling connected, a part of the person despite the distance.
Saving yourself, for some day.
The person is preserving themselves for the future.
I never sang you to sleep, I,
Not providing comfort or solace, making difficult choices.
Didn't kiss your tears away.
Acknowledging emotional distance and challenges.
I did what I thought was best,
Acting based on what was deemed best for both.
And I saved myself, for some day.
The speaker preserving themselves for a shared future.
And the picture in my mind,
A mental image that aligns with reality.
Somehow it was true.
Confirmation of truth, possibly related to the relationship.
My goodness,
Expression of surprise or awe: "My goodness."
My goodness.
Reiteration of the awe or surprise.
I remember everything wrong,
Recalling memories with inaccuracies or distortions.
Blurry faces and names.
Unclear memories of people and events.
Yeah, my memory is shit,
Acknowledging poor memory but reserving some for the future.
But I saved a little bit, for someday.
Despite doubts, preserving a part for an unspecified time.
Oh the doubt and the sleepless nights,
Facing inner struggles and restless nights.
And the prowlin' round this place.
Hinting at potential difficulties in the relationship.
And your goodness,
Emphasizing the goodness of the other person.
My goodness.
Repetition for emphasis on the other person's goodness.
Your goodness,
Acknowledging the reciprocal goodness.
My goodness.
Repetition for emphasis on the speaker's goodness.
Held onto what I thought was faith,
Maintaining faith until it became worn and ineffective.
Up until it wore right through.
Realization of personal change or transformation.
I don't know how much I've changed,
Acknowledging personal growth through seeing the other person.
But I see you I see you.
Recognition and connection with the other person.
All this driving' couldn't make me sane,
Driving as a metaphor for seeking sanity or purpose.
So, maybe it was fate
Suggesting that fate played a role in the journey.
And your goodness,
Emphasizing the goodness of both individuals.
And my goodness.
Repetition for emphasis on the mutual goodness.
My goodness,
Reiteration of personal goodness.
My goodness.
