Leaving the Party
Echoes of Moments: Navigating Life's Symphony in 'Leaving the Party'
Lyrics
Thought of leaving the party again and again
Contemplating leaving the party multiple times
There were too many people and few of them friends
Many attendees, but few close friends present
And I'd run out of things I could do with my hands
Feeling idle, lacking activities to engage in
Thought of leaving the party and then you walked in
Considered leaving, then the person of interest arrived
You were wearin' sweatshirt you stole from your mom
Describing the attire worn by the person
The one that she bought in Disney when you were just one
Details about the origin of the sweatshirt
How do I still remember that? It's been so long
Reflecting on retaining vivid memories despite time
I can hardly remember the words to my songs
Struggling to recall own song lyrics
Yeah, I hardly remember the words to my songs
Emphasizing the difficulty remembering songs
So I swam through the sea of the sweat and the booze
Navigating through crowded, intoxicated surroundings
Someone spilled something purple on one of my shoes
An incident of spilling a drink on the speaker's shoe
But if given the option I'd swim right back through
Despite mishaps, willing to return to the same situation
I don't get many chances to stand next to you
Scarcity of opportunities to be close to the person of interest
And it was hard to tell if you were telling the truth
Doubtful about the truthfulness of the person's words
When you said "everything has been great, how bout you?"
Recalling a superficial conversation
But I asked if you wanted to talk on the roof
Proposing a private conversation away from the crowd
Then proceeded to listen to all of the proof
Willingness to hear and understand the person's experiences
I proceeded to listen to all of the proof
Reiteration of willingness to listen to the person
When we got back inside there was nobody there
Empty or deserted environment upon returning indoors
Just a few by the couch and a few by the stairs
Minimal people present in specific areas of the venue
And some music still playing but I couldn't tell where
Difficulty in locating the source of the playing music
You were calling a car on the arm of the chair
The person of interest arranging transportation
So great to see you let's do this again
Expressing a desire to repeat the encounter
Though we both know that's bullshit, it's nice to pretend
Acknowledging insincerity but appreciating the gesture
How I wish I could tell you just how much this meant
Wishing to convey the significance of the moment
Or that my time with you's still best that I've spent
Highlighting the meaningfulness of time spent together
