You At The Top Of The Driveway
Echoes of Unspoken Fears: Maple Glider's Melodic Reflections
Lyrics
Every time we speak I don't want to hear the end of it
Expressing a desire for conversations to be continuous without wanting them to conclude.
Months that follow, I'll be hanging on to words
Anticipating holding onto the spoken words in the months to come.
I hope that one day
An expression of hope for a future event.
You will release
Encouraging someone to reveal and let go of their fears.
All of yours fears
Referencing personal anxieties or concerns.
On top of me
Suggesting a metaphorical burden, shared and celebrated together.
And we'll throw a party for your baby
Imagining a positive future celebration for a significant life event.
I bet they'll be great at dancing
Anticipating the baby's potential skill at dancing.
We'll go for walks
Envisioning simple, enjoyable activities in the future.
Collect tadpoles in the rain
Recalling childhood activities like collecting tadpoles in the rain.
Just like we did when we were the same age
Comparing the present to a time when they were the same age.
And mum was selling Avon
Referencing a specific memory of the mother selling Avon.
We thought nothing was wrong
Reflecting on a time when everything seemed fine.
'Til we grew into separate lounge rooms and so on
Describing a gradual separation over time, possibly with familial implications.
The years that divide us
Highlighting the passing years that created distance.
The things that broke our trust
Referring to events or actions that eroded mutual trust.
Snuck in whilst we played between God's hall and our house
Imagining the intrusion of negative influences during innocent times.
Still every time I look
Expressing a persistent connection despite the passage of time.
I see you at the top of the driveway
Visualizing the recurring image of someone at a significant place.
In my purple dress
Recalling a specific memory with a visual detail of a purple dress.
Every time we speak I don't want to hear the end of it
Reiterating the desire for endless conversations.
Months that follow, I'll be hanging on to words
Expecting to hold onto spoken words in the upcoming months.
