An Innocent Day
Nostalgic Echoes: Embracing the Essence of 'An Innocent Day'
Lyrics
I pick up the photo
I am looking at a photograph.
The traffic, the sky
Observing the traffic and the sky.
The hum of the city
Hearing the city's background noise.
The heat of July
Feeling the warmth of July.
The world was in motion
The world is dynamic and in motion.
The earth rushed around
The Earth is moving swiftly.
I captured the moment
Capturing a specific moment.
I'm holding it now
Currently holding that captured moment.
A blink of an eye and we're back there a lifetime away
A brief moment in the past feels like a lifetime ago.
On an innocent day
Reflecting on a day that was innocent and carefree.
Us on an innocent day
Reminiscing about "us" on that innocent day.
And there we are talking and walking somewhere
Recalling a conversation and a walk together.
I still hear your laughter, it rings through the air
Hearing the echoes of laughter in the air.
My mom was alive then and we didn't know
Mentioning the mother's existence during that time.
Her time on this earth didn't have long to go
Realizing the limited time left for the mother.
Just look at that sky not a cloud there's not one touch of gray
Describing a clear sky, symbolizing purity and innocence.
It's an innocent day
Reflecting on the innocence of that day.
Us on an innocent day
Remembering "us" on that innocent day.
And I don't wanna think of the changes
Expressing reluctance to acknowledge changes.
And all that I've loved that is gone
Mourning the loss of loved things in the past.
When there's no one on earth who can stop them
Accepting inevitable changes and goodbyes.
You just kiss them goodbye and move on
Letting go and moving forward after saying goodbye.
I don't dwell upon us and what might have been
Avoiding dwelling on what could have been.
We didn't, it's done, some you lose some you win
Accepting that some things are lost while others are gained.
But you were so beautiful and we were so young
Acknowledging the beauty and youth of the past.
And maybe that moment will always be one of those
Suggesting that some moments remain eternally significant.
Memories that sneak up and make me wish I could have stayed
Expressing a desire to stay in a particular memory.
On an innocent day
Reflecting on the innocence of a specific day.
With you on an innocent day
Longing for that innocent day with a specific person.
On an innocent day
Recalling the innocence of a particular day.
