Loretta: An Ode to Unforgettable Love
Lyrics
Well I met a girl
Expressing the beginning of a romantic encounter.
Just the other day
Highlighting the recentness of the meeting.
It was love at first sight
Describing intense attraction and affection from the start.
She just swept me away
Emphasizing the captivating impact of the girl on the speaker.
But no matter how hard I try
Conveying the difficulty of recalling the girl's name despite efforts.
I can't remember her name
Acknowledging the struggle to remember her name.
So I'll call her Loretta
Choosing to refer to her as "Loretta" for simplicity.
Listen when I say
Requesting attention when talking about Loretta.
The world's a lot less terrifying now that I met you
Expressing a positive impact on the speaker's perspective after meeting Loretta.
And just cause I don't know your name don't mean this love ain't true
Stressing the authenticity of love despite not knowing the girl's name.
The time we had could never last, there's nothing I can do
Acknowledging the inevitable end of the time spent together.
Well I know it, and I knew it, but Loretta
Acknowledging the transience of the experience with a sense of acceptance.
Loretta this one's for you
Dedicating the song to Loretta as a gesture of remembrance.
I'd tell her how I felt if she weren't gone
Expressing a desire to express feelings if Loretta were still present.
I thought the next best thing was writing her this song
Choosing songwriting as an alternative way to convey emotions to Loretta.
I'm telling you, I think it's meant to be
Believing in the destined nature of the connection with Loretta.
Oh one day I'll find her, and then you'll see
Expressing hope and anticipation of finding Loretta in the future.
The world was so much nicer when I still had you around
Reflecting on the positive impact Loretta had on the speaker's world.
Falling in love is fun and games until you hit the ground
Highlighting the contrast between the joy of falling in love and the eventual heartbreak.
The time we had just couldn't last, there's nothing I can do
Reiterating the inevitability of the fleeting nature of their time together.
But Loretta, if you're out there, I wrote this song for you
Directly addressing Loretta and dedicating the song to her again.
I wrote this song for you
Repetition for emphasis on dedicating the song to Loretta.
I wrote this song for you
Continued repetition, underscoring the significance of the song dedication.
I wrote this song for you
Further emphasizing the act of writing the song specifically for Loretta.
I wrote this song for you
Final repetition, reinforcing the dedication of the song to Loretta.
