Chasing Memories in Louisiana Time: A Love Story Unraveled
Lyrics
I met you five years ago
I encountered you for the first time five years ago.
We were playing in the snow
We shared a playful moment in the snow.
And held hands walking down the road
We held hands while walking down the road.
Your path crossed mine a couple times
Our paths crossed multiple times.
And a few years down the line
Several years later, our paths crossed again.
We kissed before I said goodbye
We shared a kiss before I bid farewell, heading back to Louisiana.
Back to Louisiana time
Reflecting on the past, particularly the time spent in Louisiana.
Oh I'm just a step behind you darlin'
I am consistently just a step behind you, my dear.
And it's always been that way
This dynamic has always characterized our relationship.
But don't you worry baby I'm not fallin'
Reassuring the other person that I am not falling apart despite the distance.
I'm just a little bit far away
I'm just a little distant, not losing myself.
Dreaming of the New York times
Dreaming of achieving something significant, like being featured in the New York Times.
And singing your sweet lullaby
Recalling the moments of singing a sweet lullaby dedicated to you.
Cause you were never really mine
Acknowledging that you were never truly mine.
It was way back that summer
Reflecting on a past summer where the realization of your involvement with someone else struck me.
When I saw you hold her hand
Witnessing you holding another person's hand during that crucial summer.
Walking by along the sand
This occurred while walking along the sand.
The salt air kissed my lips goodbye
Feeling the emotional impact of the salt air as it metaphorically bid farewell.
Like the waves a drifting' by
Comparing the emotional ebb and flow to the drifting waves.
But don't you worry I'll be fine
Reassurance that despite everything, I will be fine.
Sippin' Mississippi wine
Enjoying moments with Mississippi wine as I navigate life.
Oh I'm just a step behind you darlin'
The repetition of being a step behind, indicating a persistent theme.
And it's always been that way
Consistently being in a trailing position in the relationship.
But don't you worry baby I'm not fallin'
Reiterating that I'm not falling apart despite the distance.
I'm just a little bit far away
Emphasizing the manageable distance, not a complete separation.
Staring at the purple sky
Gazing at the purple sky, perhaps symbolizing contemplation and reflection.
And thinking back to that July
Recalling memories of a significant July in the past.
When you were never really mine
Acknowledging that during that time, you were never truly mine.
Oh and I wonder if you think of me
Expressing curiosity about whether you think of me as I do about you.
Long Island summers drinking by the sea
Remembering summers on Long Island, sharing moments by the sea.
And like you I'll watch the waves pass me by
Similar to the waves, watching life pass by.
I met you five years ago
Repetition of the initial encounter, highlighting its significance.
We were playing in the snow
Revisiting the nostalgic memory of playing in the snow.
Oh and so the story goes
Summing up the cyclical nature of the relationship, as the story continues.
