hey there stranger
Nostalgic Echoes: JP Jaramillo's Melodic Reflections on Love
Lyrics
Hey there stranger, I'm just thinking
Expressing a greeting to someone not familiar
About the last time
Reflecting on a past event or experience
It feels like last night
Emphasizing the recentness of the memory
Do you remember when we were just young kids
Recalling a time when they were young and carefree
Texting late at night sending hearts and instant messages
Reminiscing about late-night conversations via text
Just to talk we would stay up so late
Highlighting the simplicity of staying up late just to talk
Now I stay up wondering if you're okay
Expressing a shift from carefree to a more concerned state
Hang up the phone and you'd be my home screen
Recalling a time when the person was prominently displayed on the phone
Heart beating fast when you'd stand next to me
Describing a heightened emotional state when near the person
Always had me feeling a kind of way
Describing a unique and special feeling
You're a one of one so please don't ever change
Expressing the uniqueness and value of the person
Hey there stranger, I'm just thinking
Repeating the opening line, indicating contemplation
About the last time
Reiterating the focus on a past experience
It feels like last night
Emphasizing the recentness of the memory again
We were together, now it's work and weather
Contrasting past to present, mentioning work and weather
When we try to talk, I forgot who's fault
Expressing difficulty in communication and blame confusion
Did you ever read those letters
Asking if the recipient read previous heartfelt letters
Did you ever wear my sweaters
Asking about the recipient wearing the sender's sweaters
They were always so much better
Comparing the appearance of sweaters on the sender and recipient
When they were on you, they were better on you
Stating the sweaters looked better on the recipient
That Christmas when I sent you a package
Recalling a specific Christmas when the sender sent a package
We talked the whole night
Highlighting a memorable night of conversation
And I just listen to you laughing
Remembering the joy of listening to the recipient's laughter
Those were my favorite times
Stating that those moments were the sender's favorite
Just knowing I made you smile
Expressing satisfaction in making the recipient smile
Hey there stranger, I'm just thinking
Repeating the opening line, indicating continued contemplation
About the last time
Reiterating the focus on a past experience once more
It feels like last night
Emphasizing the recentness of the memory again
We were together, now it's work and weather
Contrasting past to present, mentioning work and weather again
When we try to talk, I forgot who's fault
Expressing difficulty in communication and blame confusion again
Do you think of me
Asking if the recipient thinks about the sender
Cause I think of you
Expressing the sender's continuous thoughts about the recipient
Do you read what I wrote
Inquiring if the recipient reads the sender's writings when feeling down
When you're feeling blue
Expressing concern for the recipient's emotional state
Don't hold your love behind me
Advising not to hide love from the sender
Don't, no no no
Repeating the advice with emphasis on not hanging up
Kiss me through the phone
Expressing a desire for physical closeness through the phone
Hold me through the phone
Expressing a desire for emotional closeness through the phone
Don't hang up, stay up with me
Requesting the recipient to stay connected and not end the conversation
We don't have to be
Conveying a sense of freedom in the relationship
