Lyrics
When we didn’t need words
Referring to a time when communication didn't rely on words.
Before you wore my t-shirt
Before the intimacy reached a level where you wore my clothing.
When you didn’t need to call in to check in on me
A time when constant checking or reassurance wasn't necessary in our relationship.
When you didn’t need commitment
When commitment wasn't a requirement or a focal point.
Closer when we had the distance
Despite distance, we felt closer.
When we only had the weekends, I’d miss you all week
Longing for the person during weekdays when we only had weekends together.
Before we were lovers
Before the romantic involvement began.
Before we were closer
Before the emotional closeness developed.
Before you had keys to my door
Before you gained access to my personal space.
I knew you better before
I had a deeper understanding of you in the past.
When we didn’t have the pictures
When we didn't capture moments through photographs.
Before the pillows and the whispers
Prior to the moments of intimacy shared in bed and intimate conversations.
When we didn’t have to tell all our friends who we were
Before public acknowledgment or declaration of our relationship to friends.
When we didn’t need the whiskey
A time when alcohol wasn't needed to facilitate connection or conversation.
Before the memories and the history
Before the creation of shared memories and a detailed history together.
When we didn’t need to question the way that we were
A time when the nature of our relationship wasn't doubted or questioned.
Wonder if we could reverse this
Contemplating the possibility of reversing the progression of the relationship.
Consequences of the first kiss
The repercussions or outcomes resulting from the initial romantic interaction.
Back when you were just a question that moved in to me
You were once an unknown entity that entered my life.
Back before I knew the answer
Before I became aware of how our relationship would unfold.
Knowing what was coming after
Awareness of what follows after the initial stages of the relationship.
Wish that you were still the dancer that danced just for me
Desire for a past version of you who expressed themselves purely for me.
