Barely Strangers
Barely Strangers: Love's Journey Through Time
Lyrics
5 Years gone by, since we gave it one more try
Reflecting on five years since attempting to revive the relationship.
Flames died ground was white, silence spoke for you and I
Describing a moment of quiet sadness after the passion faded.
No change, still estranged, even the white blankets remain
No improvement, still distant, using "white blankets" as a metaphor for stagnation.
Feb 15 in the 2-1-5, still lookin for my Valentine
Referring to February 15th in the 215 area code, expressing a search for a new Valentine.
But before you say goodbye
A plea to reconsider parting ways.
Take your jacket off this time
Suggesting vulnerability by asking to remove barriers like a jacket.
You haven't called me for awhile
Noticing a lack of communication, possibly a sign of growing apart.
Barely strangers in our eyes
Describing a state of being familiar yet distant, like "barely strangers."
Who was luckier than I, waking with you by my side
Expressing gratitude for waking up next to the person but questioning luck.
Flip back to swing sets in the sand, God knows you want to start again
Recalling nostalgic moments at swing sets and a desire for a fresh start.
Comfortable around you I held your hand and got so high
Recollection of comfort and euphoria when holding hands.
Before our hearts were trusted friends, never thought that kinda love would end
Reflecting on the unexpected end of a once strong and enduring love.
I'm still tryin
Expressing ongoing effort to cope with the aftermath.
But before you say goodbye
A repeated plea for reconsideration before saying farewell.
Take your jacket off this time
Reiterating the vulnerability and desire to break down barriers.
You haven't called me for awhile
Pointing out the prolonged lack of communication.
Barely strangers in our eyes
Emphasizing the paradox of feeling both close and distant.
Am I still a shadow of my old ways
Questioning personal growth and whether old habits persist.
Saying goodbye on my driveway
Recalling parting moments and expressing difficulty in saying goodbye.
Can't help but say it's true, I know I wish the best for you
Despite challenges, expressing genuine wishes for the other person's well-being.
Even though it's hard to do
Acknowledging the difficulty of maintaining positive wishes in the face of separation.
So before you say goodbye
Reiterating the plea for reconsideration and taking time before parting ways.
Brush the dust off take your time
Encouraging the other person to take their time before leaving.
I don’t wanna say goodnight
Expressing reluctance to bid farewell and face the uncertainty of the night.
And wake up strangers in the morning light
Fearing the possibility of waking up as strangers after parting.
Search for the friend I hope I’ll find
Expressing a search for a friend in the aftermath of the relationship.
Keep hoping you’ll be there sometime
Maintaining hope for the possibility of reconnecting in the future.
