Lyrics
Passed by the store the other day
Passed by a store recently.
Saw a card bright yellow and it said sending ‘sunshine your way’
Observed a bright yellow card expressing the intention of sending 'sunshine your way.'
But it all went south so soon
However, things took a negative turn quickly.
And now it lays unopen next to you
Now, the unopened card is lying beside you.
Right on the steps of Eden
Refers to a location reminiscent of paradise or perfection.
All choked up cause you’re leaving
Feeling emotional and overwhelmed due to your departure.
Though I made the choice to stay I’m with you all the way
Despite choosing to stay, committed to supporting you fully.
All broke up and hurting
Emotionally distressed and in pain.
Wishing I was there in person
Wishing to be physically present with you.
Though I made the choice to stay I’m with you all the way
Despite the difficult decision to stay, committed to being there for you.
We raised a glass the other night
Celebrated with a toast on another occasion.
I shared your stories, slurred my words, hope I told them all right
Shared your stories, possibly in a less coherent manner.
Stumbled home when all was through
Returned home after everything was finished.
The room was spinning with thoughts of you
Feeling dizzy and preoccupied with thoughts of you.
Right on the steps of Eden
Again, referencing a location symbolizing perfection or paradise.
All choked up cause you’re leaving
Experiencing intense emotions because of your departure.
Though I made the choice to stay I’m with you all the way
Despite choosing to stay, committed to supporting you unwaveringly.
All broke up and hurting
Feeling emotionally broken and in pain.
Wishing I was there in person
Expressing a desire to be physically present with you.
Though I made the choice to stay I’m with you all the way
Despite the challenging decision to stay, committed to being there for you.
Right on the steps of Eden
Reiteration of the earlier reference to a perfect or idyllic place.
All choked up cause you’re leaving
Intense emotional state due to your departure.
Though I made the choice to stay I’m with you all the way
Despite choosing to stay, committed to supporting you completely.
All broke up and hurting
Feeling emotionally broken and in pain (repeated sentiment).
Wishing I was there in person
Expressing a wish to be physically present with you (repeated sentiment).
Though I made the choice to stay I’m with you all the way
Despite the challenging decision to stay, committed to being there for you (repeated sentiment).
