Lyrics
They listened at the porch that day
Reflecting on a past event, people gathered on a porch to listen.
A story on and on
A narrative unfolded continuously.
I told them of a life before
The speaker shared experiences of a life from the past.
When days had just begun
Referencing a time when life was in its early stages.
All my hopes I told to the sun
Expressing aspirations to the sun, stars, and the moon.
To the stars and the moon
Continuation of sharing hopes with celestial elements.
But we just live once
Highlighting the finite nature of life with the phrase "we just live once."
I met him in a crowded time
Meeting someone during a chaotic period.
When no one dared to breathe
Describing a tense atmosphere where breathing seemed challenging.
And just with a glimpse of an eye
Connecting intimately with a person through a fleeting gaze.
We lay in cross leaved heath
Sharing a moment of intimacy in a natural setting (cross leaved heath).
All my hopes I told to the sun
Reiterating the expression of hopes to celestial bodies.
To the stars and the moon
Continuation of expressing aspirations to the sun, stars, and the moon.
But we just live once
Reemphasizing the transient nature of life.
I left when autumn came to stay
Departure during autumn, symbolizing change and the passage of time.
For time was flying by
Recognizing the swift passage of time.
And the trees were growing old
Observing the aging of trees as a metaphor for the passage of life.
Life is too short i was too young
Feeling that life is short and acknowledging youth at the time.
You know the days had just begun
Stating that the mentioned period marked the beginning of days.
All my hopes I told to the sun
Expressing hopes once again to celestial bodies.
To the stars and the moon
Continuation of expressing aspirations to the sun, stars, and the moon.
But we just live once
Reiterating the finite nature of life.
All my hopes I told to the sun
Restating the act of sharing hopes with celestial elements.
To the stars and the moon
Repeating the expression of aspirations to the sun, stars, and the moon.
But we just live once
Reemphasizing the transient nature of life.
