Lyrics
Evermore, gone but not forgotten
Reflecting on something that continues to exist in memory, although physically absent
Anyway there's more
Regardless, there is more to consider or explore
Evermore, lost but not for nothing
Acknowledging a loss that was not in vain or without purpose
Here, but then what for?
Questioning the purpose or meaning of being present in a situation
And when you soar, drop a thought for Stockton
When achieving great heights, remember a place or person called Stockton
Out your airline door
Exiting an airplane and contemplating Stockton
And when you soar, toss that thought to Stockton
Similar to line 5, emphasizing the importance of remembering Stockton
Ask me on the phone
Inviting a question, possibly about departure or emotional state
Are you good and gone?
Asking if someone has left or moved on
Grieve like a freeway tree
Expressing grief metaphorically, like a tree by a freeway
Old and grey, no love in your leaves
Describing a state of aging without love, using the freeway tree as a symbol
Grieve like a freeway dream
Continuation of the grief metaphor, now as a freeway dream
Lonely days, no love in your leaves
Loneliness and lack of love reflected in the days of the freeway dream
No love in your leaves
Reiterating the absence of love in one's life, using leaves as a metaphor
Evermore, nothing lasts forever
Stating the impermanence of everything, emphasizing that nothing lasts forever
This was never yours
Asserting that something was never truly possessed or owned
And evermore, when remembering is
Highlighting that remembering serves a purpose, and that purpose is forgetting
What forgetting's for
Reiterating the dual nature of remembering and forgetting
And when you soar, drop a thought for Stockton
Recalling Stockton when reaching great heights, possibly as a place of significance
Out your airline door
Similar to line 6, suggesting a repeated contemplation of Stockton during departure
And when you soar, toss that thought to Stockton
Reiteration of the importance of remembering Stockton during soaring moments
Ask me on the phone
Repeating the invitation for questions, possibly related to departure
Are you good and gone?
Repeating the question about someone's departure or emotional state
Grieve like a freeway tree
Continuation of the freeway tree metaphor, emphasizing grief, aging, and lack of love
Old and grey, no love in your leaves
Describing the freeway tree as old and gray with no love in its leaves
Grieve like a freeway dream
Continuation of the freeway dream metaphor, emphasizing loneliness and lack of love
Lonely days, no love in your leaves
Describing the days of the freeway dream as lonely with no love in its leaves
No love in your leaves
Reiterating the absence of love in one's life, using leaves as a metaphor
