Lyrics
You used to let me walk inside your garden
You once allowed me to enter your personal space or inner world.
The guards won't let me by you put the lock-in
Security measures prevent me from accessing you; you've closed yourself off.
A stone's throw away
Close proximity; a short distance away.
I look right through the chain link fence
Despite barriers, I can see through the separation and understand.
Remember when we were still friends
Recalling a time when we had a friendly relationship.
You used to let me walk inside your garden
Repetition: Reflecting on a past when I had access to your emotional space.
The guards won't let me by you put the lock-in
Reiteration: The guards reinforce the emotional barriers you've established.
A stone's throw away
Emphasizing the proximity but continued separation.
I look right through the chain link fence
Despite barriers, I can still see through and remember our past connection.
Remember when we were still friends
Reflecting on a time when we shared a friendship.
You used to let me walk inside your garden
Continued reflection on the past, highlighting the emotional distance now.
The guards won't let me by you put the lock-in
Reiteration of emotional barriers reinforced by guards.
A stone's throw away
Emphasizing the closeness, but the separation remains.
I look right through the chain link fence
Seeing through the emotional barriers and remembering the friendship.
Remember when we were still friends
Recollecting a time when we were once friends.
You used to let me walk inside your garden
Repetition: Recalling moments of shared emotional closeness.
The guards won't let me by you put the lock-in
Reiteration: Guards enforcing emotional separation.
A stone's throw away
Underlining the nearness, yet emotional barriers are intact.
I look right through the chain link fence
Despite barriers, I can see through and remember the past connection.

Acknowledging and discarding emotional pretenses.
I know

The time's short term but I
Knowing that things are temporary, yet...

Believing in the possibility of making the relationship work.
