The Day That I Met You
Forgiving the World: A Love Found in the Day That I Met You
Lyrics
They telephoned me just to say
They called me to inform that nobody prioritized the past.
That nobody had the time for yesterday
Emphasizes the lack of importance given to the past by others.
And all at once, I felt so small
Feeling a sudden sense of insignificance or vulnerability.
Started feeling like nobody cared at all
Experiencing a sense of neglect and indifference from others.
But then you called, only to say
A contrasting moment when the person the singer cares about calls.
You'll never love somebody else this way
Expressing a unique and deep commitment to the relationship.
And though I'm still battered and bruised
Despite facing challenges, the speaker is willing to forgive and move forward.
I forgave the world the day that I met you
The turning point where meeting the person changed the speaker's perspective.
Mmm-mm, mmm-mm
(No specific meaning provided in the lyrics.)
The people talk, it's background noise
Highlighting the insignificance of other people's opinions or gossip.
I don't wanna hear nobody else's voice
Expressing a desire to focus only on the beloved's voice.
There's something sweet about your scent
Describing the positive and comforting aspects of the beloved's presence.
It's like lavender came and never left
Using the metaphor of lavender to convey a lasting and pleasant impression.
And then you called, only to say
Repetition of the significant impact of the beloved's words.
You'll never love somebody else this way
Reiterating the depth and exclusivity of the love being expressed.
And though I'm still battered and bruised
Despite challenges, the speaker is willing to forgive and move forward again.
I forgave the world the day that I met you
Reiterating the transformative power of meeting the beloved.
Mmm-mm-mmm, ahh
(No specific meaning provided in the lyrics.)
Nothing ever seemed to go right
Expressing a period of continuous challenges and difficulties.
All my days they just fell into nights
Highlighting a sense of monotony and struggle in daily life.
Until I got a little bit of you in my life
Introducing a positive change with the entrance of the beloved.
And then suddenly everything's bright
Describing the transformative effect of the beloved's presence.
I know there's a million different ways I could say
Expressing the multitude of ways the speaker appreciates the beloved.
How you're always the part of my day
Emphasizing the constant role of the beloved in the speaker's day.
And when you feel the need to forget the world
Suggesting the beloved as a source of escape and solace.
You can call anytime you want
Offering the assurance of availability and support from the beloved.
Call anytime you want
Reiteration of the availability and willingness to be there for the speaker.
Mmm-mm-mmm
