So Long
Eternal Longing: Unveiling the Heartfelt Emotions in Lake Street Dive's 'So Long'
Lyrics
So long
Expressing farewell or separation
Why you gone away?
Questioning the reason for the departure
For so long?
Reflecting on the prolonged duration of absence
Why don't you just stay?
Desiring the person to stay where they belong
Where you belong?
Emphasizing the sense of belonging
And then we'd never have to say, so long
Imagining a scenario where goodbyes are unnecessary
So long
Repeating the expression of farewell
The days while your away, feel so long
Describing the subjective experience of time during separation
I'm wasting away, while you are gone
Conveying a feeling of deterioration in the absence of the person
I wish we never had to say, so long
Expressing a wish to avoid saying goodbye
So wrong
Acknowledging a sense of moral or emotional error
You know it always feels, so wrong
Highlighting the persistent feeling of wrongness
To say goodbye to you, for so long
Expressing difficulty in parting for an extended period
What kind of universe would keep me away
Pondering the nature of a universe that separates loved ones
From someone that I have loved for
Stressing the enduring love for the separated person
So long
Reiterating the prolonged duration of separation
The years they're slipping by me
Noting the passage of years and continued solitude
And I'm still so alone
Expressing loneliness despite the passage of time
The nights that I have cried seem so long
Recalling nights filled with tears and emotional pain
Oh I don't know how to say goodbye
Expressing difficulty in finding the right words for goodbye
So I'll just say
Indicating a decision to simply say goodbye without further elaboration
