Lyrics
I remember the day it came
Reflecting on the day a significant event occurred
Flashing lights and sirens rang
Describing a moment of urgency with flashing lights and sirens
They took you and put you inside
Recalling a situation where someone was taken away and confined
I walked the house ten times
Expressing anxiety or restlessness by pacing around the house
And I'm riding down to let you know
Announcing the intention to communicate with someone by going to them
That I love you although it doesn't show
Acknowledging love despite a difficulty in expressing it
When we argued about the car
Referencing a past disagreement about a car
I want you to know
Expressing gratitude and appreciation
That I am so
Indicating a positive emotional state
Thankful that you're here
Gratitude for the presence of someone important
How come everything has to change?
Questioning the inevitability of change
I wish were four and six and in the rain
Longing for a simpler time, possibly childhood
When we were six and eight we dressed the same
Remembering a time of close connection, possibly with a sibling
When we were twenty-four and twenty-six I wrote this down
Marking a specific age range and documenting the writing of the lyrics
And I'm coming down to let you know
Reiterating the intention to communicate and express love
That I love you though it doesn't show
Reaffirming love despite difficulties in demonstrating it
When we argued about the car
Recalling a past argument, possibly related to a car
I want you to know
Expressing gratitude again for the presence of the person
That I am so
Reiterating a positive emotional state
Thankful that you're here
Gratitude for the continued presence of the person
