It's Been a While Since I Was Your Man
Rediscovering Lost Moments: It's Been a While Since I Was Your Man
Lyrics
Way up in that sky
Contemplating or acknowledging something distant or elevated.
I look up and I wonder
Expressing curiosity or reflection about a specific presence or event in the sky.
If that's you passing by
Wondering if the observed entity in the sky is a representation of a past connection or person.
It's been a while since I was your man
Reflecting on the passage of time since the speaker was last considered the significant other.
Used to shout up from outside
Recalling a previous habit of calling out to the person from outside.
Wake you when you were sleeping
Recollecting the act of waking the person while they were sleeping.
Now I walk the streets, I don't recognize nobody
Feeling a sense of disconnection from the familiar surroundings and people in the streets.
It's been a while since I was your man
Acknowledging the duration that has passed since the speaker held the role of being the person's partner.
As time passed us by
Reflecting on the progression of time shared together.
We never felt like we should
Expressing a lack of fulfillment or satisfaction in the relationship.
We never did what we ought to
Not adhering to societal expectations or moral standards during the relationship.
And folks they used to smile
Recalling a time when people around them used to express happiness or approval.
And now they just think that they should
Noticing a shift in the perception of others, now marked by judgment or disappointment.
They just think that they should
Emphasizing the persistence of negative perceptions from others.
We used to roll around on the floor
Revisiting shared intimate moments, possibly nostalgically.
Get some Chinese delivered
Recalling a routine of ordering Chinese food and spending time together.
Listen to Led Zeppelin IV
Remembering a specific activity, listening to Led Zeppelin IV, indicating shared interests.
It's been a while since I was your man
Reiterating the time elapsed since the speaker held the role of being the person's partner.
