For Ol' Times Sake
Rediscovering Love's Echoes
Lyrics
Before you go walk out on me
Expressing concern and requesting the listener not to leave abruptly.
Take a look around tell me what you see
Encouraging the listener to assess their surroundings and reflect on the situation.
Here I stand like an open book
Presenting oneself as transparent and open for inspection.
Is there something here you might have overlooked
Questioning if there's something important that the listener may have missed or not considered.
'Cause it would be a shame if you should leave
Highlighting the potential regret if the listener leaves and discovers that freedom is not as expected.
And find that freedom ain't what you thought it would be
Suggesting that the idea of freedom may not live up to the listener's expectations.
The years we had were not all bad
Reflecting on the overall positive nature of the years spent together.
In fact I know the good outweighed the bad
Acknowledging that the good times outweighed the bad times.
Now you say that you've grown tired
Noting the listener's claim of weariness and the desire for solitude.
You want to be by yourself a while
Acknowledging the listener's need for personal space and time alone.
It would be a shame if you should go
Expressing regret at the prospect of the listener leaving.
And find that freedom was a long time ago
Suggesting that the freedom the listener seeks existed in the past.
I know that you can't stand the chains that bind you
Recognizing the listener's discomfort with the constraints in the relationship.
They just keep on drivin' us apart
Acknowledging that these constraints are causing a growing emotional distance.
You could go where I could never find you
Suggesting that the listener might try to escape, but true escape may be impossible.
But could you go far enough to get away from your heart
Pondering whether the listener can truly distance themselves from their own feelings and emotions.
So one more time, for ol' times sake
Proposing one last time to reconnect for the sake of old times.
Come and lay your head upon my chest
Inviting physical closeness and intimacy as a way to revive past moments.
Please don't throw this moment away
Urging the listener not to let go of this opportunity.
We can forget the bad and take the best
Suggesting a mutual effort to focus on the positive aspects of the past.
If you don't have nothing left to say
Asking the listener to refrain from speaking if there's nothing positive to say.
Let me hold you one more time for ol' times sake
Expressing the desire to hold the listener one more time for the sake of old times.
If you don't have nothing left to say
Reiterating the request for silence if there's nothing positive to contribute.
Let me hold you one more time for ol' times sake
Repeating the desire to hold the listener one more time for the sake of old times.
