Lyrics

I’ve got a photograph of us in my room

I have a photograph of us displayed in my room.

In a wooden picture frame

The photograph is in a wooden frame.

It shows me and you

The photo captures both of us.

Smiling on a sunny summer day

We are depicted smiling on a sunny summer day.

Now it’s raining outside

Currently, it is raining outside.

Press my nose against the window pane

I press my nose against the window pane, possibly feeling nostalgic.

Standing there for a couple days

I stand there for a couple of days, metaphorically stuck in the past.

Every day I do the fucking same

Every day, I find myself in the same routine.

Thinking about what we used to say

Reflecting on what we used to say.

Back in the days

Recalling moments from the past.

Back in the days

Repetition emphasizes reminiscing about the past.


When we were happy

Referring to a time when the speaker and the subject were happy.

When we were happy, when we

Reiteration of the happiness shared in the past.

We were happy

Emphasizing the collective happiness experienced.

Yeah, we were happy indeed

Confirmation of the happiness felt.

If I could do it all over again

If given the chance, the speaker would relive those moments.

I’d cherish every chance I get

The speaker would value and appreciate every opportunity.

We were happy

Reiteration of past happiness.

Yeah, we were happy indeed

Confirmation of the happiness experienced.


I’ve got memories of you in my heart

The speaker holds memories of the subject in their heart.

Keeping me awake at night

These memories keep the speaker awake at night.

Pondering over what I could’ve done

The speaker reflects on what they could have done differently.

For you to keep shining your light

Hoping for the subject to continue shining their positive influence.

Now it’s raining outside

It is currently raining outside again.

Press my nose against the window pane

Similar to earlier, the speaker presses their nose against the window pane.

Standing there for a couple days

Repetition of standing there, metaphorically stuck.

Every day I do the fucking same

Continuing the routine of the same actions every day.

Thinking about what we used to say

Reflecting on past conversations and interactions.

Back in the days

Recalling moments from the past, emphasizing nostalgia.

Back in the days

Repetition emphasizing the speaker's focus on the past.


When we were happy

Repeating the theme of happiness in the past.

When we were happy, when we

Reiteration of the joy shared in the past.

We were happy

Emphasizing the collective happiness experienced.

Yeah, we were happy indeed

Confirmation of the happiness felt.

If I could do it all over again

If given the chance, the speaker would relive those moments.

I’d cherish every chance I get

The speaker would value and appreciate every opportunity.

We were happy

Reiteration of past happiness.

Yeah, we were happy indeed

Confirmation of the happiness experienced.
