Timeless Tales: Love's Journey in '4 Years in 3 Minutes' by Kat Harville
Lyrics
How do I write about
Expressing difficulty in summarizing a significant period of time.
4 years in 3 minutes?
Continuation of the challenge of encapsulating four years in a short timeframe.
Dinner parties with your parents
Describing social interactions with partner's parents.
Sippin red wine, talkin marriage
Recalling moments of discussing marriage over red wine.
Lake house layed back, t shirt sharin
Memories of a laid-back time at a lake house, sharing a T-shirt.
Midnight FaceTimes you were swearin
Recollection of midnight FaceTime conversations filled with promises.
You were changin
Noticing changes in the partner.
But you weren't changin
Contrasting the perceived change with the lack of actual transformation.
And I'm not mad about it
Expressing acceptance and lack of resentment for the changes.
I wouldn't be the same without it
Acknowledging personal growth due to the relationship.
But I couldn't tell my mom about it
Difficulty in discussing certain aspects of the relationship with family.
Cause how do I fit
Reflecting on the challenge of summarizing four years.
4 years in 3 minutes
Reiteration of the difficulty in encapsulating the relationship in a short timeframe.
4 years in 3 minutes
Repeating the challenge of summarizing four years in three minutes.
Every dream I had
Referencing dreams involving the partner.
With you in it
Highlighting the intertwining of lives.
Your life and mine so intertwined
Acknowledging the presence of reckless love and white lies.
The reckless love and white lies
Expressing giving everything to the relationship, despite disparities.
I gave my all and you didn't
Reflecting on the wish to be angry rather than sad about the situation.
Wish I was mad about it
Expressing the emotional difficulty of being sad about the relationship.
That's easier than being sad about it
Contemplating playing the victim role but resisting.
I'd play the victim and I'd let you have it
Remembering the relationship as a learning experience in love.
But we were kids learning to love
Emphasizing the transient nature of the past relationship.
That's all it was
Recognizing the passage of time and the need to move on.
4 years and now it's gone
Recalling shared moments under moonlight in the partner's driveway.
It's overdue but I'm moving on
Acknowledging difficulties in controlling life's outcomes.
Burning moonlight in your driveway
Reflecting on the impact of the partner's kisses regardless of circumstances.
Never could let things go my way
Recalling the challenges of adolescence and the desire for control.
You'd kiss me and it didn't matter
Expressing the realization of personal growth compared to the partner.
16 going on 22
Highlighting the partner's excuses and personal commitment to truth.
I grew up and where were you?
Acknowledging the necessity of saying goodbye to the relationship.
You made excuses
Accepting the emotions while still in love and making the difficult choice to part ways.
I told the truth
Expressing gratitude for the personal growth despite the challenges.
And I had to do
Recognizing the time it took to come to terms with the end of the relationship.
What you couldn't do
Final acknowledgment of encapsulating four years in three minutes through a song.
Say goodbye
Reiteration of the difficulty in summarizing the relationship in a short timeframe.
While I was still in love with you
Final acknowledgment of encapsulating four years in three minutes through a song.
And I'm not mad about it
Expressing acceptance and lack of resentment for the changes.
I wouldn't be the same without it
Acknowledging personal growth due to the relationship.
Took time to wrap my mind around it
Reflecting on the time it took to come to terms with the end of the relationship.
But I finally wrote a song about it
Announcing the completion of a song about the relationship.
4 years in 3 minutes
Repeating the challenge of summarizing four years in three minutes.
4 years in 3 minutes
