Waiting
Nostalgic Reflections: Seasons of Longing by Lorelai Paige
Lyrics
Summer and sunshine
Reflecting on positive memories associated with summer and sunshine.
Is coming around
Anticipation of the return of positive and warm experiences.
I think back to my childhood days
Nostalgia about childhood days, reminiscing about the past.
The warm air is comforting
Feeling comfort in the warmth of the air.
I shine with the rays
Experiencing a positive and radiant feeling.
Think back to July
Recollection of specific memories from July.
In the yard catching fireflies
Remembering catching fireflies in the yard during July.
And all of their smiles
Reflecting on the joy and happiness expressed through smiles.
I wonder if they're being replaced
Questioning if joyful memories are being replaced or changed.
And I wonder
Pondering shared thoughts and wondering if others think similarly.
Do you think like me
Expressing a shared mindset and connection with someone.
Because I miss every single day
Expressing a deep longing for every day in the past.
And I've been waiting
Waiting patiently for something significant to happen or change.
For a change
Desiring a positive transformation or shift in life.
I've been working
Working persistently despite facing emotional pain.
Through the pain
Enduring difficulties in pursuit of a positive change.
Will I see you again
Expressing uncertainty about meeting someone again in the future.
See you again
Repeated expression of the desire to see someone again.
See you again
-See you again
-Spring time is here
Noting the arrival of spring and personal transformation.
And I've changed it's clear
Confirming a noticeable change in oneself.
It's been almost five whole years
Reflecting on the passage of almost five years.
And I wish I never had gone away
Expressing regret for going away and a wish to stay.
Do you miss summer play
Asking if the listener misses the carefree activities of summer.
Little kids through the yard
Recalling images of children playing in the yard.
I think of you everyday
Thinking about someone every day despite being separated.
And how we were torn apart
Reflecting on the emotional pain of being torn apart from someone.
And I've been waiting
Continuing to wait patiently for a positive change.
For a change
Reiteration of the persistence in working through emotional pain.
I've been working
-Through the pain
-Will I see you again
Repetition of the uncertainty about meeting someone again.
See you again
-See you again
-See you again
Expressing continued hope for a reunion in the future.
When winter comes around
Anticipating a more challenging and emotional period (winter).
And I lose my smile
Experiencing a loss of happiness and positivity during winter.
I'll keep my head down
Determined to keep a low profile and endure difficult times.
Because I know
Expressing awareness of missing someone deeply in the present.
that I miss you most now
Emphasizing the intensity of missing someone during difficult times.
And I've been waiting
Continued patience and waiting for a positive change despite challenges.
For a change
-I've been working
-Through the pain
Persisting through emotional pain in the pursuit of positive transformation.
Will I see you again
Reiterating the uncertainty about meeting someone again in the future.
