We've Been Here Before
A Love Found in Cinematic Moments
Lyrics
People tell me you're too young to find love
People advise that the speaker is too young for love and should wait.
Just wait till you're older, there's no need to rush
Emphasis on patience, suggesting no rush to experience love.
You have your whole life ahead of you
Encouragement to focus on the future as life unfolds.
Don't you worry about that stuff
Reassurance not to worry about romantic matters at this stage.
Why is waiting the right thing to do
Raising questions about the virtue of waiting for love.
What if all of a sudden love finds me
Contemplating the possibility of love happening unexpectedly.
And I knew from that moment
Realization that a particular moment marked the end of a relationship.
You and I weren't meant to be
Understanding that the speaker and the other person were not destined to be together.
It is all so clear now
Clarity about not wanting to let go of a significant connection.
That I don't want to let this go
Expressing reluctance to end a meaningful relationship.
Let's just live in the now
Suggesting a desire to live in the present rather than dwelling on the past or future.
Cause all I know
Acknowledging limited knowledge or certainty about the situation.
We found love straight out of a movie
Recalling a love story reminiscent of a movie.
First glance and you knew you were meant for me
Immediate recognition of being meant for each other upon first sight.
You get stuck in my head, like that song we always play
Comparison of the person to a memorable song that stays in the speaker's thoughts.
And I love when your eyes find their way to mine
Appreciation for the connection through eye contact.
Playing your guitar, as we're singing Cherry Wine
Shared moments of playing guitar and singing a specific song (Cherry Wine).
Nonsensical laughter and our long walks alone
Highlighting joyful laughter and private walks together.
Moments linger like the smell of your cologne
Describing lingering moments akin to the lasting scent of cologne.
I love those strawberry freckles and big ocean blues
Expressing affection for specific physical traits, such as strawberry freckles and blue eyes.
And our late night calls from midnight till two
Reminiscing about late-night phone calls lasting until 2 a.m.
You offer me your jacket when it gets cold
Symbolic gesture of offering a jacket in cold moments, demonstrating care.
You say you don't need it but I already know
Acknowledging the person's denial of needing a jacket but recognizing their caring nature.
That's not true I'm grateful for you
Expressing gratitude for the person's presence.
It is all so clear now
Reiteration of clarity about not wanting to end the relationship.
That I don't want to let this go
Emphasizing the reluctance to let go.
Let's just live in the now
Advocating for living in the present moment.
Cause all I know
Reiteration of limited knowledge or certainty about the situation.
We found love straight out of a movie
Revisiting the theme of love resembling a movie-like romance.
First glance and I knew you were meant for me
Reaffirming the immediate recognition of being meant for each other.
You get stuck in my head, like that song we always play
Reiterating the impact of the person on the speaker's thoughts like a recurring song.
I love when your eyes find their way to mine
Expressing joy in the connection through eye contact.
Playing your guitar as we are singing Cherry Wine
Revisiting the shared moments of playing guitar and singing Cherry Wine.
That's why I'm singing this to you
Declaration of expressing these sentiments through singing.
That's why I'm singing this to you
Reiteration of the dedication of the song to the person.

We found what people spend their lives searching for
Reflecting on finding a profound love that people spend their lives searching for.
And it's funny it's like we've been here before
Humorous realization that the deep connection feels familiar, as if they have experienced it before.
