Long Lost Friends
Longing Echoes: Rediscovering Lost Bonds in Elder Brother's Melody
Lyrics
How long do you have to say that
Expressing impatience or frustration with the repeated statement.
This is not the person I used to know
Acknowledging a change in the person, highlighting a sense of unfamiliarity.
You're not the person I used to know
Reiterating the perception of a changed and unfamiliar person.
So go on, go on
Encouraging the person to continue with their actions or decisions.
Go on
Repetition for emphasis, urging the person to proceed.
Because lately you've been looking at me like you've seen a ghost
Describing the way the person has been looking, possibly with a sense of haunting or intensity.
And isn't it obvious who's been missing who the most (missing who at all)
Observing a mutual sense of absence or longing between both individuals.
I just wish that you had called, cause I would have said it all
Expressing a desire for communication and regret for not receiving a call.
I just wish that you had called, cause I would have said it all
Repetition of the wish for a call, emphasizing the missed opportunity to express thoughts.
Oh I never was a man of man words
Acknowledging a tendency to be reserved in speech.
Mostly when they mattered most
Reflecting on a past pattern of not expressing words when they were most important.
Mostly when you mattered most
Highlighting the significance of the person to whom the words were not spoken.
So go on, go on
Encouraging the continuation of a certain action or behavior.
Go on
Repetition for emphasis, urging the person to go on.
Because lately you've been looking at me like you've seen a ghost
Reiterating the intense gaze from the person, possibly implying emotional weight.
And isn't it obvious who's been missing who the most (missing who at all)
Highlighting the evident longing or missing each other in the relationship.
I just wish you had called, cause I would have said it all
Expressing a desire for a missed call and the opportunity it would provide for expression.
I just wish you had called, cause I would have said it all
Repetition of the desire for a call, emphasizing the potential for complete expression.
In my dreams you run back to me (my long lost friend)
Describing a hopeful scenario in dreams where the person returns.
Isn't it amazing in this world that anyone can love anyone at all?
Pondering the universal capacity for love in the world.
Anyone at all
Repetition, emphasizing the idea that anyone can love anyone in the world.
Lately you've been looking at me like you've seen a ghost
Reiterating the intense gaze, suggesting a recurring theme in the relationship.
And isn't it obvious who's been missing who the most
Emphasizing the evident longing or missing each other in the relationship.
I just wish that you had called cause I would have said it all
Expressing regret for not receiving a call and the desire to convey unspoken thoughts.
I just wish that you had called cause I would have said it all
Repetition of the regret for not receiving a call, emphasizing the missed opportunity for expression.
