Not Around
Echoes of Departure: A Melodic Tale of Love's Farewell
Lyrics
It might be time for something new
Contemplating the need for change
Cause maybe I'm no good for you
Doubting suitability for the other person
So walk away but don't take off
Asking the person not to leave abruptly
Cause by myself I'm not enough
Feeling inadequate alone
Can you hear me now?
Seeking attention or validation
My voice keeps singing when you're not around
Feeling the presence of the person even in their absence
And in the middle of the summer time
Reflecting on a past shared experience
I was yours
Belonging to the other person in the past
Well now I'm sleeping through the summer time
Sleeping through or missing current shared experiences
I'm not around to see the summer time
Not being present for the present experiences
Anymore
Expressing absence from current experiences
This feels a lot like letting go
Feeling like releasing or moving on
It's not likely I'll ever know
Uncertainty about understanding the situation fully
So walk away and just take off
Encouraging the person to leave
I'm by myself cause I fucked up
Taking responsibility for the separation due to personal mistakes
Can you hear me now?
Seeking acknowledgment despite absence
My voice keeps singing when you're not around
Continued feeling of the person's influence
And in the middle of the summer time
Recollection of a past specific timeframe
I was yours
Being part of the person's life in the past
Well now I'm sleeping through the summer time
Missing current moments that were shared in the past
I'm not around to see the summer time
Absence during current shared experiences
And maybe I'm the only one
Self-doubt about being the only one who cared
The only one that ever cared
Self-reflection on caring deeply
And maybe you're the only one
Attributing uniqueness to the other person
The only one I'll ever get
Recognizing exclusivity in the relationship
Can you hear me now?
Desire for the person to hear despite absence
My voice keeps singing when you're not around
Continued emotional connection even in absence
And in the middle of the summer time
Reference to a past specific timeframe
I was yours
Past ownership or belonging to the person
Well now I'm sleeping through the summer time
Missing current moments once shared
I'm not around to see the summer time
Absence from present shared experiences
Can you hear me now?
Repetition of desire for acknowledgment in absence
Well my voice keeps singing when you're not around
Continued sense of the person's influence despite absence
And in the middle of the summer time
Recollection of a specific past timeframe
I was yours
Having belonged to the person in the past
Well now I'm sleeping through the summer time
Missing current shared moments once experienced
I'm not around to see the summer time
Absence during present shared experiences
Anymore
Expressing absence from current experiences
