Our Song
Unspoken Melodies: A Journey of Love and Laughter
Lyrics
I was riding shotgun with my hair undone in the front seat of his car,
I was riding in the front seat of his car with my hair undone.
He's got a one-hand feel on the steering wheel,
He has one hand on the steering wheel, the other on my heart.
The other on my heart,
Symbolizing a romantic connection and intimacy.
I look around, turn the radio down, he says, "baby is something wrong?"
Turns the radio down and questions if something is wrong.
I say "nothing, I was just thinking how we don't have a song, "
Expresses a thought about not having a song together.
And he says,
He responds to her statement.
Our song is a slamming screen door,
Describes their song as a slamming screen door.
Sneaking out late tapping on your window,
Describes moments like sneaking out late and tapping on windows.
When we're on the phone and you talk real slow,
References late-night phone conversations.
'Cause it's late and your mama don't know,
Emphasizes secrecy due to parental unawareness.
Our song is the way you laugh,
Their song is associated with the way he laughs.
The first date man I didn't kiss her when I should have,
Recalls a first date where a kiss was missed.
And when I got home, before I said amen,
After a challenging day, a prayer is made before sleeping.
Asking God if He could play it again.
Asks God to play their song again.
I was walking up the front porch steps after everything that day,
Returning home after a difficult day.
Had gone all wrong, had been trampled on and lost and thrown away,
Reflects on a day filled with setbacks.
Got to the hallway well on my way to my lovin' bed,
Heading to bed but notices roses and a note.
I almost didn't notice all the roses,
Symbolic recognition of love and commitment.
And the note that said,
Describes the note expressing their song.
Our song is a slamming screen door,
Reiterates their song as a slamming screen door.
Sneaking out late tapping on your window,
Recalls moments like sneaking out and tapping on windows.
When we're on the phone and you talk real slow,
Highlights late-night phone conversations again.
'Cause it's late and your mama don't know,
Emphasizes secrecy due to parental unawareness.
Our song is the way you laugh,
Associates their song with the way he laughs.
The first date man I didn't kiss her when I should have,
Recalls a first date where a kiss was missed.
And when I got home, before I said amen,
After a challenging day, a prayer is made before sleeping.
Asking God if He could play it again.
Asks God to play their song again.
I've heard every album, listened to the radio,
Expresses familiarity with their shared music history.
Waiting for something to come along,
Waiting for a song as good as theirs to come along.
That was as good as our song,
Expresses the uniqueness and significance of their song.
'Cause our song is a slamming screen door,
Reiterates their song as a slamming screen door.
Sneaking out late tapping on your window,
Recalls moments like sneaking out and tapping on windows.
When we're on the phone, and he talks real slow,
Highlights late-night phone conversations again.
'Cause it's late and his mama don't know,
Emphasizes secrecy due to parental unawareness.
Our song is the way he laughs,
Associates their song with the way he laughs.
The first date man I didn't kiss him when I should have,
Recalls a first date where a kiss was missed.
And when I got home, before I said amen,
After a challenging day, a prayer is made before sleeping.
Asking God if He could play it again.
Asks God to play their song again.
I was riding shotgun with my hair undone in the front seat of his car,
Repeats the scene from the beginning.
I grabbed a pen and an old napkin
Describes writing down their song on a napkin.
And I wrote down our song.
Symbolizes the creation and preservation of their song.
