Lyrics
Well I haven't got all the words down yet,
Expressing incomplete understanding or articulation of feelings or thoughts.
So I'll give you the ones,
Sharing the words that are remembered, emphasizing their significance.
That I don't forget,
Highlighting the importance of remembering certain words in the context of communication.
And you took me back,
Acknowledging a past instance of forgiveness or reconciliation.
But I must admit,
Admitting curiosity about the person's origin and destination.
Where'd you come from?
Expressing surprise or curiosity about the person's sudden appearance.
And where are you goin'?
Pondering the future or purpose of the person's journey.
And you were the one for me last night,
Recalling a connection or special moment shared the previous night.
When the whiskey was gone,
Describing a moment when alcohol was consumed, possibly signifying vulnerability.
And the glasses dry,
Noting the end of the drinking session, a time when true feelings might emerge.
And you sat at my table,
Highlighting a shared experience of sitting together at a table.
And we talked for a while,
Reflecting on a meaningful conversation that took place.
And I knew you,
Expressing a sense of recognition or familiarity with the person.
Though I'd never known you.
Acknowledging the paradox of feeling a connection despite not having prior knowledge.
I'll sing you a song if you want me to,
Offering to share a song, possibly as a means of deeper communication or connection.
And the verses aren't quite on,
Acknowledging imperfections in the song's structure but emphasizing the sincerity of the lyrics.
But the words are true,
Asserting the truthfulness of the emotions conveyed in the song.
And I mean you no harm,
Ensuring the listener that no harm is intended despite possible misconceptions.
You might think I do,
Acknowledging the potential for misunderstanding or misinterpretation of intentions.
How I wish,
Expressing a desire for a change in the listener's perspective or feelings.
You would change your mind.
Expressing a longing for a shift in the other person's attitude or decision.
We sat in the back of a smoke filled room,
Describing a setting in a room filled with smoke, creating a mysterious or intimate atmosphere.
And the piano,
Noting the presence of a piano playing a well-worn tune, adding to the ambiance.
She played a worn out tune,
Recalling a whispered communication, suggesting confidentiality or intimacy.
And you whispered to me,
Describing the anticipation of the person's imminent departure.
That you'd be leaving soon,
Attempting to respond to the person's announcement, only to find their absence.
When I turned to answer,
Expressing the sudden and unexpected disappearance of the person.
You were gone.
