Still Here
Echoes of Love and Loss: Still Here by Darling West
Lyrics
I remember the thrill of the way too late-night phone calls
I recall the excitement of late-night phone calls that didn't lead to much.
that never amounted to much
Those phone calls failed to result in significant outcomes.
The electricity that ran through my fingers
Recollection of the electric feeling when our fingers touched for the first time.
the very first time that we touched
The initial physical contact left a lasting impression.
I remember the heat from a way too late-night summer road
Memories of the warmth from late-night summer drives that seemed endless.
We never thought it would end
Unexpectedly, the blissful moments came to an end.
On the radio the sound of love would linger
Love songs on the radio lingered, accompanying us through every twist and turn.
And follow us around every bend
The impact of love continued to follow us.
When mornings stuck on repeat start weighing you down
When repetitive mornings become burdensome.
What have become of you and I
Reflection on what has happened to the relationship.
You said you're hurt
A confirmation that the other person is in pain.
Well, so am I
Acknowledging personal pain as well.
What will become of you and I
Contemplating the future of the relationship.
You're still here
Despite challenges, both individuals are still present and enduring.
And so am I
Reiteration that both individuals are still enduring the relationship's struggles.
I remember the words that could never be unspoken
Recollection of words that were spoken and cannot be taken back.
The consequence of things left unsaid
Consequences arise from things left unspoken.
How we carried on while leaving something broken
Navigating through a broken situation while holding onto hope for a better future.
A silent hope of better times ahead
A silent hope for improvement in the times ahead.
When mornings stuck on repeat turn slowly into years
As time passes, routine mornings transform into years, and fears become overwhelming.
And all of your fears start weighing you down
The weight of accumulated fears becomes a burden over time.
