Driftwood
Driftwood Memories: Echoes of Love Lost and Summer's Goodbye
Lyrics
I listen to my favorite record over and over again
I repeatedly listen to my favorite record.
The one we played when Emma came to stay for the weekend
The mentioned record was played during Emma's weekend stay.
Arms around each other
We embraced with arms around each other.
Singing along to Lana at the Bowl
Singing along to Lana Del Rey at the Bowl (venue).
Malibu in October
Recalling a memorable time in Malibu during October.
Running wild and dancing on the tables
We behaved recklessly, running wild, and dancing on tables.
I think we woke the neighbors
Our activities might have disturbed the neighbors.
But now I’m driftwood
Feeling like discarded, abandoned, or lost.
Oh, I used to be a part of something good
I used to be a part of something good in the past.
But now I’m driftwood
Continuing the sentiment of being driftwood, disconnected.
And you know that I would drift home if I could
Expressing a desire to return to a sense of belonging.
I listen to my baby’s record over and over again
I repeatedly listen to a record by my significant other.
The one he wrote but never showed me,
The significant other wrote a song but never shared it.
We had potential then
Reflecting on lost potential in the relationship.
First day of the summer
Recalling the first day of summer as a significant moment.
I said goodbye and meant it, didn’t I?
Parting ways and truly meaning the goodbye.
Safer to be strangers
Choosing to be strangers for safety.
Sat in the back yard and swore I wouldn’t cry
Sitting in the backyard and resisting tears.
This is the last time
Acknowledging that this is the final instance.
But now I’m driftwood
Feeling adrift and disconnected.
Oh, I used to be a part of something good
Recalling a time when being part of something good was true.
But now I’m driftwood
Continuing the theme of being adrift and disconnected.
And you know that I would drift home if I could
Expressing a desire to return to a sense of belonging.
I miss you more than I thought I would
Expressing a strong yearning and longing for the past.
I miss you more than I thought I could
Intensifying the sentiment of missing someone deeply.
I miss you, I miss you
Repeatedly expressing the depth of the feeling of missing.
I miss you more than I thought I would
Reiterating the intensity of missing someone unexpectedly.
I miss you more than I thought I could
Continuing to express a deep and unexpected level of missing.
I miss you, I miss you
Emphasizing the emotional depth of the missing feeling.
But now I’m driftwood
Repeating the sentiment of being driftwood and disconnected.
Oh, I used to be a part of something good
Reminiscing about being part of something good in the past.
But now I’m driftwood
Continuing the theme of feeling adrift and disconnected.
And you know that I would drift home if I could
Expressing a desire to return to a sense of belonging.
