Lyrics
Dear, the last things we said
Expressing the lingering impact of the final words spoken in a relationship
Echo in the back of my head
Repetition emphasizes the echoing nature of those last words in the speaker's mind
In the back of my head
Continued emphasis on the lasting effect of the spoken words in the speaker's thoughts
In the back of my head
-In the back of my head
-Back of my head
-It takes time
Introduction of the idea that healing or moving on "takes time"
As soon as the feeling spread
Reflection on the spreading of emotions and the speaker feeling trapped
I’m trapped in the back of my head
Reiteration of being trapped in the thoughts and the time it takes to overcome
In the back of my head
-In the back of my head
-In the back of my head
-Back of my head
-It takes time
Reaffirmation of the idea that healing and moving forward require time
I saw you on the road again
Description of seeing the person again, feeling trapped like stained glass, and the transient nature of the feeling
Trapped like you’re stuck in stained glass
-Look, I’m drivin’ right past
-Know the feeling won’t last
-Know the feeling will pass
-I can always crash
-I’m gone
-I’m faded
Repetition of feeling faded and gone, expressing frustration, being jaded, and feeling wrong
I’m faded
-I’m faded
-I’m gone
-I’m faded
-I’m faded
-I’m faded
-I’m gone
Continued repetition of being gone, fated, frustrated, jaded, and wrong
It’s fated
-Frustrated
-I’m jaded
-I’m wrong
-I’m faded
-I’m faded
-I’m faded
-I’m gone
Reiteration of the speaker being gone
Thoughts of you are floating in
Thoughts about the person, acknowledging the temporary nature, and hoping for a quick resolution
Snatch though I know it won’t last
-Wanna milk it real fast
-You’re the greatest damn catch
-Took the longest break. Fast
-With the hope it can patch
-I’m wrong
Acknowledging a mistake or regret in the speaker's actions or words
Dear, the last things we said
Repetition of the impact of the last words on the speaker's thoughts
Echo in the back of my head
-In the back of my head
-In the back of my head
-In the back of my head
-Back of my head
-It takes time
-As soon as the feeling spread
-I’m trapped in the back of my head
-In the back of my head
-In the back of my head
-In the back of my head
-Back of my head
Reiteration of the idea that healing takes time
It takes time
Confirmation that healing requires time
I’m faded
Repetition of feeling faded, gone, fated, frustrated, jaded, and wrong
I’m faded
-I’m faded
-I’m gone
-I’m faded
-I’m faded
-I’m faded
-I’m gone
-It’s fated
-Frustrated
-I’m jaded
-I’m wrong
-I’m faded
Continued repetition of feeling faded
I’m faded
-I’m faded
-Dear, the last things we said
Repetition of the impact of the last words on the speaker's thoughts and the time required for healing
Echo in the back of my head
-In the back of my head
-In the back of my head
-In the back of my head
-Back of my head
-It takes time
-As soon as the feeling spread
-I’m trapped in the back of my head
-In the back of my head
-In the back of my head
-In the back of my head
-Back of my head
-It takes time
Final confirmation of the necessity of time for healing
