Skipping Stones
Nostalgic Echoes: Embracing Memories in Skipping Stones
Lyrics
The colors, the air
The vividness and atmosphere
The way the sunlight streaks through your hair
The way sunlight illuminates your hair
It's nice to see that not much has changed
Noticing that things remain relatively unchanged
But it's strange, this feeling
Experiencing a peculiar emotion
Of being a mere visitor
Feeling like a temporary observer
To a place that was once
A place that used to be the entire world
My whole world
Referencing a significant past
Where I couldn't see
Unable to see beyond certain limitations
Past the faded hills that stretched across my window sill
Describing a view of faded hills outside
Where all I knew
A time characterized by simplicity
Was skipping stones and tossing coins
Engaging in childhood activities
Wishing that I found a way
Expressing a desire for an escape
A way out
Seeking a way out of a situation
Memories connected to you
Recalling memories associated with someone
This comfort I only have with you
Feeling a unique comfort only with that person
Why would I leave this behind?
Questioning the choice to leave such comfort
Familiar feelings flooding in
Experiencing familiar emotions resurfacing
And I never wanna forget this again
Expressing a desire to remember these feelings
It's something that only we know
Shared knowledge or experiences known only to them
Can you stay close to me?
Requesting closeness
Can you hold me down?
Asking for support and grounding
Don't go too far away
Urging not to go too far
Need you to hold, hold me down
Seeking emotional support
My whole world
Recalling a past world
Where I couldn't see
Unable to see beyond certain limitations (repeated)
Past the faded hills that stretched across my window sill
Describing a view of faded hills outside (repeated)
Where all I'd do
Recalling a specific activity from the past
Was skip my stones and toss my coins
Engaging in childhood activities (repeated)
Wishing that I found my way
Expressing a desire for an escape (repeated)
And no matter where I go
Emphasizing a perpetual connection
I'll keep you close
Promising to keep the connection alive
A home I'll always have
Referring to a constant sense of home
And always hold
Committing to always cherish and support
Can you stay close to me?
Requesting continued closeness
Can you hold me down?
Asking for ongoing support and grounding
Don't go too far away
Urging not to go too far (repeated)
Need you to hold, hold me down
Seeking emotional support (repeated)
Tell me, can you stay?
Persistently asking if the connection will endure
