Lyrics
I thought it was time
I believed it was the appropriate moment
Time to fall in love
The right time to experience love
I thought it was right
I thought my judgment was correct
Then why do I feel so low?
Despite that, why am I experiencing deep sadness?
I remember when we first met
Recollection of our initial meeting
Starry eyed, heart sleeve wearers
We were optimistic and emotionally expressive
In that wide open space
In a vast, open setting
No future I could imagine
Unable to foresee any future
Beyond the sunshine days
Except for the joyous, carefree moments
Surfboards on the golf cart down to the beach
Recounting a carefree activity, suggesting happier times
We went down and we stayed
We went down to the beach and stayed
Until the sun went down
Until the daylight faded
And I saw the moon on your face
Observing emotions reflected in the moonlight
I thought it was time
Reiteration of the belief that it was the right time for love
Time to fall in love
The anticipated period to fall in love
I thought it was right
Reaffirmation of the perception that it was appropriate
Then why do I feel so low?
Despite this, there's a prevailing sense of emptiness
It's always been like gravity between us
Describing a strong attraction or connection
Time and space can't deny the pull
Time and space can't prevent the emotional bond
I guess we're just orbiting
Suggesting a continuous but unsettled connection
Is that why we couldn't settle?
Questioning if the inability to settle is due to this orbit
You said love with no strings
Reference to a commitment-free type of love
At least you said that's what you wanted
Stating your expressed desire for a non-committal relationship
Three days we didn't talk and right before my show
Recollection of an incident involving a temporary break in communication
Your brother showed up
A confrontation with a family member during a vulnerable time
And tried to break my nose
Violent encounter suggested by the attempt to break the nose
And I wonder if you remember
Reflecting on a past incident
That time I took those mushrooms and you loft your phone
A symbolic event involving altered perceptions
How perfectly symbolic
Symbolism highlighting the miscommunication in the relationship
Of our miscommunicated attempt at love
Expressing the failure of the attempt at love due to miscommunication
I thought it was time
Reiteration of the belief that it was the right time for love
Time to fall in love
The perceived appropriate period to fall in love
Maybe I was right
Questioning the accuracy of the initial perception
Then why do I feel so low?
Despite the belief, there's an overwhelming sense of sadness
