How Good We Had It
Discovering Unseen Beauty: A Reflection on How Good We Had It
Lyrics
There was a tide pool we were going to see
Reference to a planned visit to a tide pool
There was a morning we were waiting to greet
Awaiting a specific morning with anticipation
and there was love still coming
Love is still present and active
there was love still coming
Reiteration of the continuing presence of love
We didn't know how good we had it
Unaware of the positive aspects of their situation
we wanted a fantasy
Desire for an idealized or unreal scenario
We didn't know how good we had it
Reiteration of not recognizing the goodness in the past
But now we're ready
Expressing readiness for a change
The sun keeps shining
Despite challenges, the sun (positivity) persists
though we pray for rain
Despite hoping for relief, challenges persist
and our hearts keep beating through the pain
Heartache endured but hearts continue to beat
and we're still hoping to find a way
Hopeful for finding a solution
we're still hoping to be the ones to change
Desire to be catalysts for positive change
We didn't know how good we had it
Reiteration of not recognizing the goodness in the past
we wanted a fantasy
Desire for an idealized or unreal scenario
We didn't know how good we had it
Reiteration of not recognizing the goodness in the past
But now we're ready
Expressing readiness for a change
But my hands are tied behind my back
Feeling restricted or limited in taking action
and my head just drags my heart around
Emotional burden affecting thoughts and feelings
and I want so much to make this work
Strong desire to make a relationship work
but we've still got so much to learn
Acknowledgment of the need for further learning
We didn't know how good we had it
Reiteration of not recognizing the goodness in the past
we wanted a fantasy
Desire for an idealized or unreal scenario
We didn't know how good we had it
Reiteration of not recognizing the goodness in the past
But now we're ready
Expressing readiness for a change
We didn't know how good we had it
Repetition emphasizing the lack of awareness
But now we're ready
Emphasizing the readiness for change
We didn't know how good we had it
Repetition emphasizing the lack of awareness
We didn't know how
Recognition of not realizing the goodness in the past
good we had it
Final emphasis on the lack of awareness
We didn't know
Repetition underlining the lack of awareness
We didn't know
Final repetition highlighting the lack of awareness
