Lyrics
Like I told you before
Expressing a previous statement or sentiment.
They're just thoughts running through my head
Thoughts are circulating in the singer's mind.
Now the tables have turned
The situation has changed or reversed.
It's our memories instead
Memories now occupy the forefront of the singer's thoughts.
Maybe you're gone forever, some other time
Speculating on a separation, perhaps permanent.
You're somewhere across the great divide
The person is distant, symbolized by the "great divide."
Carried all the way to heaven
Imagining the person's journey to heaven.
I know I've been wrong before
Admitting past mistakes or wrong actions.
Carried all the way to heaven
Repeating acknowledgment of past wrongs.
Maybe there's a way to the heart
Exploring the possibility of repairing a damaged relationship.
Of my desire for a ceasefire
Expressing a longing for peace or resolution.
All I wanted to say were the
The desire to communicate unspoken thoughts.
Thoughts running through my head
Reiterating that thoughts are still in the singer's mind.
Now the lesson is learned
Conveying the acquisition of a lesson from past experiences.
Everything remains unsaid
Unspoken feelings and thoughts persist.
Now that you're gone
Recognizing the absence of the person.
Yesterdays can leave me alone
Wishing to be free from memories of the past.
Just a feeling of losing all control
Feeling a sense of losing control.
You're carried all the way to heaven
Repeating the idea of the person's journey to heaven.
You know I've been wrong before
Acknowledging past mistakes once again.
Carried all the way to heaven
Reiterating the idea of the person reaching heaven.
Maybe there's a way to the heart
Exploring the possibility of reaching the person's heart.
Of my desire for a ceasefire
Repeating the desire for a peaceful resolution.
Maybe I'm ordinary, maybe I'm not
Contemplating the singer's own ordinary nature.
Somehow you have to carry on in your heart
Encouraging oneself to continue despite difficulties.
Oh come on no come on
Expressing a plea or invitation.
You're carried all the way to heaven
Repeating the notion of the person's journey to heaven.
Maybe there's a way, I've been wrong before
Considering the possibility of past mistakes.
Carried all the way to heaven
Repeating the idea of reaching heaven.
Maybe there's a way
Contemplating the possibility of resolution.
I've been waiting for you
Expressing anticipation or waiting for the person.
Carried all the way carried all the way
Repeating the notion of being carried all the way.
You're then carried all the way carried
Continuing the idea of being carried to a ceasefire.
All the way to a ceasefire
Concluding with the notion of reaching a peaceful resolution.
