Chasing Memories: Jack Botts' Journey Home Through Lost Love
Lyrics
Verse 1:
Verse 1: Introducing the beginning of the song.
You said to me that you were scared of what's to come
The person expressed fear about the future.
And I said honey don't you mind
The singer reassures the person not to worry.
Because letting go wasn't such a bad idea when
Letting go might not be a bad choice when there's everything to discover.
You've got it all to find
There's a lot to explore and learn.
Pre chorus:
Pre chorus: Transition to a section before the chorus.
I remember watching your heart hit the floor
The memory of seeing someone deeply upset.
And those tears on your cheeks
Tears on their cheeks, indicating profound sadness.
With a ticket in hand, second chance, you were leaving for a distant land
Reference to someone leaving for a distant place with a new opportunity.
And I wasn't going to hold your hand, or fit your plans
The singer acknowledges they weren't going to intervene or influence plans.
Chorus:
Chorus: The recurring segment of the song.
But I hope you know that I miss it so bad, the nights we spent out, on our own
The singer misses the enjoyable moments spent together.
On the eastern coastline, looking for the wild times
Recollection of adventurous times on the eastern coastline.
And our words were spinning out of time
Communication breakdown or disagreement in their conversations.
I remember singing to Brown Eyed Girl' and taking the long way home, we would never fault
Memories of specific moments like singing a song and taking an indirect route back home.
And the skies were never high enough, to keep it all from blowing up but, this is all we knew
Despite challenges, they were accustomed to this lifestyle.
So when the moment comes, I'll be heading straight back home to you
Commitment to returning home when the time comes.
Verse 2:
Verse 2: Progression of the song's narrative.
I was heading for the door, when you turned and grabbed my shirt
A scene where someone tries to stop the singer from leaving.
You said is this how you say thank you for all the things we've learnt?
The person questions the singer's gratitude for shared experiences.
But you and me my dear, we were never meant to be
An acknowledgment that they were never meant to be together.
Just two lost teens between one of the seven seas
Both individuals were young and inexperienced.
Pre chorus:
Pre chorus: Reiteration before the chorus.
I remember watching your heart hit the floor
Recollection of witnessing intense emotions.
And those tears on your cheeks
Reiteration of tears and sadness.
With a ticket in hand, second chance, you were leaving for a distant land
Reference to leaving for a distant place for a second chance.
And I wasn't going to hold your hand
Acknowledgment of not intervening in their departure.
Chorus:
Chorus: Reiteration of the chorus.
But I hope you know that I miss it so bad, the nights we spent out, on our own
Continued longing for the past enjoyable moments.
On the eastern coastline, looking for the wild times
Remembering adventurous times on the eastern coastline.
And our words were spinning out of time
Reiteration of communication issues.
I remember singing to Brown Eyed Girl' and taking the long way home, we would never fault
Recollection of specific moments and routes taken.
And the skies were never high enough, to keep it all from blowing up but, this is all we knew
Recognition of challenges but a familiar lifestyle.
So when the moment comes, I'll be heading straight back home to you
Reaffirmation of returning home eventually.
Outro:
Outro: Closing segment of the song.
I'll be heading straight back home to you
Reiteration of the commitment to return home.
I'll be heading straight back home to you
Final reaffirmation of the commitment to return home.
