Long Ago
Rediscovering Love: A Journey Back to the Basics with Hawk Nelson's 'Long Ago'
Lyrics
Can we get back to the basics?
Expressing a desire to return to fundamental principles or values.
Back where we came from?
Reflecting on going back to the place of origin or initial state.
When we didn't have no worries
Recalling a time without concerns or troubles.
We were basking in the sun
Remembering carefree moments, possibly in a positive environment.
Sometimes the least of my problems feel like the biggest ones
Acknowledging that even minor problems can feel significant.
When you said that you were leaving, felt like we had just begun
Expressing the emotional impact of a significant person's departure.
It would be so easy
Contemplating that resolving issues could be straightforward.
Oh, if it was that easy
Recognizing that the desired resolution is not as simple as it seems.
I can't sleep tonight
Struggling with insomnia, possibly due to unresolved issues.
So tell me one more time
Seeking reassurance or clarity by asking for repeated confirmation.
When I dream, it will be you that's on my mind
Describing a focus on a specific person in dreams.
It's my heart you hold, so never let it go
Acknowledging the emotional vulnerability and the importance of the person mentioned.
I still love you like I loved you long ago
Expressing enduring love, comparing it to the past.
Saw you out on the freeway, and later at the show
Noticing someone in different places, possibly indicating longing or connection.
It could be my imagination, but I know I'm not alone
Suspecting that the feeling of connection is not imaginary.
All the lights in the city are burning out with time
Observing the passage of time through the city lights.
But there's a light that hangs above, and it's keeping us in line
Believing in a guiding light that preserves direction and purpose.
I can't sleep tonight
Reiterating the struggle with sleep and the need for confirmation.
So tell me one more time
Continuing to seek reassurance and clarity.
When I dream, it will be you that's on my mind
Reinforcing the presence of a specific person in dreams.
It's my heart you hold, so never let it go
Emphasizing the significance of the person in holding the heart.
I still love you like I loved you long ago
Reaffirming a lasting and consistent love, comparing it to the past.
All this time that's running by won't stop 'til we stand still
Reflecting on the relentless passage of time until reaching a stable state.
Cause we are incomplete until we finally breathe
Highlighting a sense of incompleteness that only resolves with a deep breath.
I can't sleep tonight
Reiterating the struggle with sleep, possibly due to unresolved issues.
So tell me one more time
Persistently seeking reassurance and clarity.
When I dream, it will be you that's on my mind
Reaffirming the presence of a specific person in dreams.
It's my heart you hold, so never let it go
Reiterating the importance of the person in holding the heart.
I still love you like I loved you long ago
Reaffirming a lasting and consistent love, comparing it to the past.
Let's take a look at the future
Considering and evaluating the future, possibly in a relationship context.
See where we left off
Reviewing and reflecting on where the journey left off.
I'm so grateful that I found you
Expressing gratitude for finding a significant person.
Cause, without you, I am lost
Acknowledging a sense of being lost without the mentioned person.
