For Long
Ephemeral Echoes: Embracing Life's Fleeting Moments
Lyrics
I was caught in the middle of calling it off
I was in the process of ending something.
I had a ticket, a suitcase, and plans to be gone
I had a travel ticket, packed a suitcase, and had plans to leave.
When I heard a sound
I perceived a noise.
The crickets were singing a song
The crickets were creating a musical composition.
You won't be here long
You will not remain here for an extended period.
No, nothing's for long
Nothing endures for an extended duration.
I was caught in the middle of calling it wrong
I was in the midst of making a wrong decision.
I had a list with my reasons, the pros and the cons
I had a list outlining the advantages and disadvantages.
When I heard my momma
I heard my mother's comforting words over the phone.
Soothing my doubts through the phone
She reassured me, addressing my uncertainties.
I'm waiting at home
I am at home, awaiting.
No, nothing's for long
Nothing persists for an extended time.
Time knows no waiting
Time does not wait.
I won't be mistaken
I will not make a mistake.
By living vicariously
Living through others' experiences is not reliable.
Time takes no prisoners
Time is impartial and does not spare anyone.
c game with no winners
Life is like a game with no guaranteed winners.
It's up to the dreamer and me
The outcome depends on the dreamer and me.
I was caught in the middle of calling it off
I was in the process of canceling something.
I had sufficient suspicion I wouldn't belong
I had a strong suspicion that I wouldn't fit in.
When I heard a promise
I heard a commitment or assurance.
Sure as the chills up my arm
As certain as the chills running up my arm.
You won't be here long
You will not remain here for an extended period.
No, nothing's for long
Nothing persists for an extended time.
