Be Back Soon
Waves of Memories: Julia Cunningham's Journey West
Lyrics
Out of the water, headed out west
Leaving a place, heading towards the western direction
You said that you'd be back soon
Promising to return shortly
Off to your father's, who always knew best
Going to father's place, who was wise or authoritative
To catch a couple higher views
Exploring for broader perspectives or experiences
Bird of a feather, leader of the pack
Similarities among a group, leading the group
Well lately things are coming loose
Recently experiencing things falling apart or becoming disordered
Go get yourself better and when you get back
Encouraging someone to recover and return
We'll laugh like we always do
Predicting a joyful reunion
Feet stuck to old floors, drinks in hand
Staying in a familiar place, enjoying drinks
Long hair and dancing shoes
Having long hair and prepared to dance
Clothing from thrift stores, favourite bands
Wearing clothes from thrift stores, liking specific music
And plans our mothers wouldn't approve
Making plans that might not meet parental approval
Saturday road wars, untouched lands
Engaging in adventures on Saturdays, exploring untouched areas
Explore 'til there's nothing new
Continuing exploration until everything is familiar
Sunday hangovers, sitting in the sand
Dealing with the aftermath of a party on Sundays
Well all of it still feels like you
Feeling that all these experiences remind of the absent person
Ou, well all of it still feels like you
Repeated emphasis on how everything reminds of the person
Ou, well all of it still feels like you
-Ou, well all of it still feels like you
-Ou, well all of it still feels like you
-The ground still carries the weight of your walking
Feeling the presence of the person through the ground they walked on
The crashing waves do all of your talking
Nature (waves) conveying the essence of the person
I still feel you everywhere that you've been
Sensing the person's influence in various places they've been to
It's like you'll be back soon
Expressing hope or belief in the person's imminent return
The ground still carries the weight of your walking
Reiteration of feeling the person's presence everywhere
The crashing waves do all of your talking
-I still feel you everywhere that you've been
-It's like you'll be back soon
Belief that the person will return soon despite their absence
