Lyrics

One life that's caught in a tail spin

Describing a life caught in a crisis or difficult situation.

Two more it brought down with

Two more lives affected negatively by the situation mentioned.

Three affected remorse

Three individuals experiencing remorse or regret related to the events.


All in a blink of an eye

A sudden and unexpected change or crisis.

One hug one first last goodbye

Expressing the emotional impact of a final farewell.

And now they're wondering why

Reflecting on the confusion and questioning that follows a departure.

Did they let me go?

The speaker questioning why they were let go or separated from others.


They said text me when you're home

Reference to a promise to send a text upon arriving home safely.

I swear I won't forget this time

A commitment not to forget to send the promised message.

I've been down this road before

Acknowledging past experiences of going through challenging times.

I know every turn and every wind

Claiming familiarity with difficulties and knowing the path well.


I said I'll see you in the morning

A promise or assurance to reunite in the morning.

When the sun it starts to rise

A reference to a hopeful reunion when the day begins.

Left my family in the review mirror

Leaving family behind, causing emotional pain each time.

And it kills me every time

The emotional impact of leaving loved ones visible in the rearview mirror.


Swear I was taking my time

Expressing a belief in taking time but facing the impossibility of turning back.

Can't go back, can't press rewind

Highlighting the inability to reverse or undo past actions.

The fault was no one's but mine

Accepting personal responsibility for the situation.


Your hearts sank to the floor

Describing a profound emotional reaction, likely sadness or disappointment.

All my dreams gone out the door

Expressing the loss of dreams and opportunities.

I had so much to live for

A realization of having much to live for despite the current situation.


They said text me when you're home

Reiterating the promise to send a text upon arriving home.

I swear I won't forget this time

A repetition of the commitment not to forget to send the message.

But little did we know

An acknowledgment that the farewell was, in fact, a goodbye.

That this was our goodbye

The realization that the departure was more significant than initially thought.


Take my hand beside you and you hold it by your side

A gesture of unity and support during a difficult time.

I never wanna let go

A desire to hold onto a connection, even in challenging circumstances.

But I think that it's my time

A recognition that a significant change or transition is imminent.


And when you see the lights go out again

An encouragement to find solace when facing challenges or darkness.

Just hold me close and know it's not the end

An assurance that the end is not absolute and that connection persists.


Even though I've moved on

Acknowledging personal growth and moving forward.

Doesn't mean that I'm gone

Stating that physical absence does not mean emotional absence.


I'll text you when I'm home

Reiterating the promise to communicate upon reaching home.

I'm only one phone call away

Offering reassurance that support is just a phone call away.

I'm looking down above you

An observation of the emotional impact on those left behind.

I see the tears roll down your face

Visualizing the visible expression of sadness through tears.
