Lyrics
Well I can’t believe a whole year’s gone by
Reflecting on the passage of time, expressing surprise that a year has passed.
I guess I never really was good with time
Admitting difficulty in managing or perceiving time effectively.
There’s so many things I never got to say
Regretting unspoken thoughts or feelings.
I’m sure I’ll let you know one of these days
Anticipating the opportunity to convey those unsaid things in the future.
You wore your war paint with a smile
Complimenting someone who faced challenges with a positive attitude.
We lost the battle but you made the fight worthwhile
Acknowledging a loss but finding value in the effort made during the struggle.
We all have our time eventually
Contemplating the inevitability of individual life spans.
You’ll always be with us in our memories
Emphasizing the lasting impact of the person in memories.
So goodbye for now
Bidding temporary farewell.
Over and out
Signalizing the end of communication.
I guess I’ll see you around
Expressing the expectation of encountering the person again in the future.
I’ll see you around
Reiterating the likelihood of future encounters.
Well another year has come and gone
Reflecting on another passing year marked by challenges but persistent resilience.
It’s been a rough one but we’re still pressing on
Acknowledging the difficulty but emphasizing perseverance.
I found a photograph of us last night
Discovering a picture from the past, reminiscing about shared moments.
I know wherever that you ended up you’ll be alright
Expressing confidence in the well-being of the departed person.
I still have war paint on my eyes
Symbolizing the enduring impact of the struggle through war paint.
Your short time here meant more than you’d ever realize
Highlighting the profound significance of the person's brief presence.
We all have our time eventually
Reiterating the inevitability of individual life spans.
You’ll always be with us in our memories
Stressing the enduring nature of memories.
So goodbye for now
Repeating the temporary farewell.
Over and out
Reinforcing the conclusion of communication.
I guess I’ll see you around
Expecting future encounters.
I’ll see you around
Reaffirming the likelihood of future meetings.
I wrote a letter addressed to you
Writing a letter expressing condolences and acknowledging the difficulties faced.
Condolences for all you’ve been through
Expressing empathy and understanding for the person's experiences.
Told you I missed you and I’m sure we’ll meet again
Assuming a future reunion and expressing a longing for it.
Then I struck a match, set it ablaze
Using a metaphorical act (striking a match) to release emotions.
Engulfed the anger and the pain
Describing the emotional release and purification from anger and pain.
But it shed some light the same way that you did for me
Drawing a parallel between the light shed by the match and the positive influence of the departed person.
Way back when
Recalling positive shared experiences from the past.
We all have our time eventually
Reiterating the inevitability of individual life spans.
You’ll always be with us in our memories
Emphasizing the enduring impact of memories.
So goodbye for now
Repeating the temporary farewell.
Over and out
Reinforcing the conclusion of communication.
I guess I’ll see you around
Anticipating future encounters.
I’ll see you around
Reaffirming the likelihood of future meetings.
I’ll see you around
Confirming the expectation of future reunions.
