Pictures of Planes
Capturing Love's Departure: Pictures of Planes
Lyrics
People sitting hillside taking pictures of the planes
Observing people sitting on a hillside, capturing images of airplanes.
Never thought I'd love something that was made to fly away
Expressing surprise at finding love in something meant to depart.
Guess our lives didn't align or some other line you'd say
Suggesting a divergence in life paths or relationships.
I close my eyes and waste my time thinking about our days
Reflecting on the past and spending time pondering memories.
You chose life
Acknowledging a choice for life.
And I chose you
Choosing a person in the speaker's life.
And that's alright
Accepting the chosen paths.
It's what you gotta do
Understanding the necessity of making choices.
So I hope you fly
Wishing the person well on their journey.
And make it far away
Expressing hope for success in the chosen path.
And I'll sit hillside, taking pictures of the planes
Continuing to observe airplanes from the hillside.
Pictures of the planes
Repeating the act of capturing images of planes.
Its all a part of growing don't you get it child
Highlighting the inevitability of growth and understanding in life.
It's never knowing if its love or just denial
Expressing uncertainty about whether feelings are love or denial.
And you've moved on I've sang songs I've found my peace
Noting the speaker and the other person moving on in different ways.
Our memories they fly away in melodies
Describing memories fading away through music.
You chose life
Reiterating the choice for life made by both individuals.
And I chose you
Affirming the choice of the person in the speaker's life.
And that's alright
Accepting the chosen paths as acceptable.
It's what you gotta do
Acknowledging the necessity of making decisions in life.
So I hope you fly
Wishing the person success in their chosen path.
And make it far away
Expressing hope for a distant and successful journey.
And I'll sit hillside, taking pictures of the planes
Continuing to observe and capture images of planes.
Pictures of the planes
Repeating the act of capturing images of planes as a way of coping.
