Lyrics
Remember when
Reflecting on a past time
When our love was something felt
Recalling a time when love was a tangible emotion
Ours to take
Expressing ownership of love
I hang my head
Feeling a sense of remorse or sadness
Because my love is somewhere else
Acknowledging that the speaker's love is distant
So far away
Emphasizing the significant distance in the relationship
Smell of your skin
Recalling the sensory memory of the loved one's skin
& the grazes that I stole
Remembering intimate moments symbolized by stolen grazes
Still on my clothes
Physical reminders of past encounters
On my knees
Expressing a vulnerable and submissive position
Pray to the ground you walk across
Praying for a connection with the loved one
That you'll walk to me
Hopeful anticipation for the loved one to return
Falling asleep
Transitioning into a dream state
Dream that I'm with you again
Desiring to be with the loved one in dreams
Breathe you in
Longing for the presence of the loved one
Empty rooms
Describing the emptiness without the loved one
Combine our silhouette
Symbolizing unity through combined silhouettes
Take me in
Expressing a desire for emotional closeness
Take me
Reiterating the plea to be taken in
Tears coming down my face
Expressing sadness with tears streaming down the face
Hide me
Seeking concealment or protection
Tears coming down my face
Continuing to express the emotional weight with tears
I can't believe
Expressing disbelief at the difficulty of letting go
How my eyes won't let you go
Describing the lingering impact of the loved one's presence
When I see your face
Expressing the desire to hold on to the memory
Why won't you call?
Pleading for communication and connection
And call me back to you?
Asking the loved one to return the call
Before you go(come) home?
Expressing urgency for the loved one to come home
Empty rooms
Reiterating the emptiness without the loved one
Combine our silhouettes
Symbolizing unity through combined silhouettes again
Take me in
Reiterating the plea to be taken in again
As time goes by
Reflecting on the passage of time
I wish I'd known that our last kiss
Expressing a wish for awareness during the last kiss
Was a kiss goodbye
Realization that the last kiss was a farewell
