Lyrics
Remember your last birthday
Reflecting on a past birthday
Three months before June
Three months before June, setting a timeframe
I bought two cards cause I
Indecision in choosing between two cards
Just couldn’t choose
Expressing difficulty in decision-making
I wrote love you forever
Writing a message of eternal love
Like I always do
Consistently expressing love in writing
But now I’m in the kitchen
Current scene in the kitchen with memories
They’re all that’s left of you
The only remnants are the written cards
And I had to burn my house down just to forget the way
Metaphorically burning down the house to forget the past
We used to lie drunk on the floor just drinking all day
Recalling days of intoxication and shared moments
Can’t bare the burden of what I am still yet to find
Struggling with the weight of personal discovery
This place ain’t big enough for me and what left behind
Feeling constrained by the memories of the past
So I will cast you straight into the fire
Committing to letting go by casting memories into the fire
Breathe the smoke of what is left of mine
Inhaling the remnants of what remains after the separation
So I will cast you straight into the fire
Reiterating the act of releasing memories through fire
I’m caught in and endless Sunday
Feeling trapped in a prolonged, difficult emotional state
My pride’s split in two
Pride being emotionally divided
I paint over words you wrote me
Painting over written words with a color symbolizing sadness
With wet baby blue
Trying to erase or cover emotional messages
But I can still feel the tether
Sensing a connection or attachment pulling back
Pulling me to you
Feeling the persistent influence of the past
Wherever I go your never
Distance doesn't diminish the impact of the past
Too far from my view
Memories remain within sight wherever the person goes
So I had to burn my house down just to forget the way
Symbolic act of burning down the house to escape memories
You’d stare at me and say that you could watch me all day
Recollection of being observed with affection in the past
Now I can’t bare the burden of what I'm yet to find
Struggling with the weight of impending discoveries
This place ain't big enough for me and what’s left behind
Feeling constrained by what remains in the current environment
