Left Off
Rediscovering Love: Mark Taylor's 'Left Off' Journey
Lyrics
Walkin' down these streets I left alone
Reflecting on a solitary walk through the streets.
Lookin' all around for someone to hold
Searching for companionship or someone to connect with.
Then I stop right there and see your smile and I ask you to talk for just a little while
Encountering someone with a captivating smile, prompting a request for conversation.
You sat down and looked right up at me (looked right up at me)
Describing the moment when the person sits down and makes eye contact.
I said "Hey Miss, how are you, what's your name?"
Initiating a conversation, asking about the person's well-being and name.
Been four years lost but I'm still the same
Acknowledging a period of four years of being lost but remaining unchanged.
Been a long time can you show me the place to go?
Inquiring about the location or destination after a long absence.
She looked at me and gave me a smile
Receiving a positive response and a friendly smile.
Said, "Yeah Man, it's been a little while"
Confirmation that it has indeed been a while, expressing willingness to guide.
Be happy to show you around where you left off, left off, left off
Offering to show around the place where the person left off, repeated for emphasis.
We rolled around that town for the rest of the night
Describing an extended exploration of the town throughout the night.
We kept on drivin' there was nothin' in sight
Continuing the journey with no clear destination in sight.
I looked at her, she looked at me, and all of a sudden I couldn't see
Experiencing a moment of confusion or disorientation.
Put it in park, then I just stopped and stared
Coming to a stop, captivated and fixated on the person.
I said "Hey Miss, how are you, what's your name?"
Repeating the earlier greeting, maintaining a connection despite the pause.
Been four years lost but I'm still the same
Reiterating the theme of being lost for four years but unchanged.
Been a long time can you show me the place to go?
Asking for guidance, seeking a path after a prolonged absence.
She looked at me and gave me a smile
Receiving a positive response with a friendly smile once again.
Said, "Yeah Man, it's been a little while"
Confirming that it's been a while and expressing a willingness to guide once more.
Be happy to show you around where you left off, left off, left off
Repeated offer to show around where the person left off, emphasizing willingness.
We sat around all night under the southern stars
Describing a night spent together under the stars in the southern location.
Then she leaned on over and played with my heart
Highlighting an intimate moment where emotions are played with.
I said "Hey Miss, how are you, what's your name?"
Repeating the greeting, maintaining connection, and seeking identity.
Been four years lost but I'm still the same
Reiterating the theme of being lost for four years but remaining unchanged.
Been a long time can you show me the place to go?
Seeking guidance and direction after a prolonged absence.
She looked at me and gave me a smile
Receiving a positive response and a friendly smile once again.
Said, "Yeah Man, it's been a little while"
Confirming that it's been a while and expressing a willingness to guide again.
Be happy to show you around where you left off, left off, left off
Repeatedly offering to show around where the person left off, emphasizing willingness.
Be happy to show you around where you left off
Continuing the willingness to guide, emphasizing the point once more.
Be happy to show you around where you left off
Reiterating the offer to show around where the person left off.
