Undo Our Undoing
Rewriting Heartbreak: Undoing the Past in John Hanifin's Melodic Journey
Lyrics
It still leaves an ache in me
Expressing enduring emotional pain
When I replay the scenes from our past memories
Reflecting on and revisiting shared memories
She's the dagger in my heart
Describing the person as a source of emotional pain
The chapter of my life I'll always keep bookmarked
Highlighting the significance of a particular period in life
And I wonder if she ever wonders too
Speculating on whether the other person thinks about the speaker
Does she think of me when she sees our favorite view?
Wondering if the person recalls shared experiences
Now I sit, and watch as our story unwinds
Observing the unfolding of their shared narrative
While I, try to rewrite our ending
Attempting to reshape the outcome of their story
It's only in my mind, if I could change time
Recognizing the desire to alter the past, but acknowledging it's only in the mind
I'd go back and Undo Our Undoing
Expressing the wish to undo the damage caused
From Boston to Rome
Recalling locations that held sentimental value
Wherever we were it felt like home
Expressing a sense of belonging in each other's presence
From the metro where we first met
Remembering the place where their journey began
To the airport terminals I can't forget
Referring to memorable moments in their travels
And I wonder if she ever wonders too
Reiterating the curiosity about the other person's thoughts
Does she think of me when she sees our favorite view?
Questioning if the person reminisces about shared views
Now I sit, and watch as our story unwinds
Observing the progression of their shared narrative
While I, try to rewrite our ending
Continuing efforts to change the course of their story
It's only in my mind, if I could change time
Acknowledging the limited scope of altering the past in the mind
I'd go back and Undo Our Undoing
Expressing the desire to reverse the negative impact of their actions
We tried our best to make it work
Highlighting the effort invested in the relationship
From two completely different worlds
Acknowledging differences between the individuals
But the distance, wasn't all to blame
Recognizing that distance was not the sole cause of challenges
I still keep the pen her father gave me
Preserving a meaningful gift from the other person's father
It's in my desk while she's in my chest
Symbolizing emotional connection despite physical separation
These small tokens are all that I have left
Valuing small reminders of the past relationship
Now I sit, and watch as our story unwinds
Observing the unfolding of their shared narrative once again
While I, try to rewrite our ending
Continuing attempts to rewrite the conclusion of their story
It's only in my mind, if I could change time
Acknowledging the limitation of altering the past in the mind
I'd go back and Undo Our Undoing
Expressing the persistent desire to undo the negative turn of events
She's the dagger in my heart
Reiterating the emotional impact of the person
The chapter of my life I'll always leave bookmarked
Emphasizing the lasting significance of a particular period in life
