When We Ran
Echoes of Love and Regret: When We Ran
Lyrics
Could have been the kiss of my life
Reflecting on a significant kiss that could have had a profound impact on life.
Could have been the death of me
Suggesting that the kiss had intense emotions, possibly risky or dangerous.
Could have been that I was just too scared
Speculating that fear may have prevented waiting to see the outcome.
To wait around and see
Implying impatience or uncertainty led to a decision not to wait.
You could have been a guardian angle
Considering the possibility of a protective force or influence.
I could have been the wicked one
Reflecting on personal shortcomings or flaws in character.
Besides the buttons on our shirts, girl,
Noting trivial details (buttons on shirts) in the context of deeper issues.
What else did we leave undone?
Questioning what might have been left unresolved or unfulfilled.
When we ran
Repetition emphasizing a specific moment of action or decision.
When we ran
-When we ran
-When we ran
-Was it just the time slippin' through our hands?
Wondering if time slipping away was the cause of the missed opportunity.
Right through our hands
Highlighting the ephemeral nature of time slipping away.
Maybe I was tryin' to tell ya
Suggesting an attempt to communicate the strength of a unique love.
I'd never known a love so strong
Expressing the intensity and uniqueness of a powerful love.
Maybe in the shadows of the night
Speculating that in the darkness, distinguishing right from wrong was challenging.
We just couldn't tell right from wrong
Highlighting the possibility of confusion in a challenging situation.
Maybe its a real-life story
Considering the events as a real-life narrative with lingering regrets.
Livin' with the sad regrets
Acknowledging the burden of living with regretful memories.
Maybe it was just a sweet dream baby
Suggesting a beautiful but elusive memory that remains unforgettable.
Somethin' that I can't forget
Indicating the lasting impact of a sweet dream that lingers in memory.
When we ran
Reiterating the theme of time slipping away as a potential cause of missed opportunities.
when we ran
-when we ran
-Was it just the time slippin' through our hands?
-You only had to say the word
Expressing the simplicity of resolving issues by communication.
I would have turned around and heard
Indicating a willingness to turn back if given the opportunity.
But as it is we can't turn back
Conveying the impossibility of reversing certain decisions.
The mind's just a trash can, baby
Metaphorically describing the mind as a receptacle for discarded memories.
And the memories, rolling dice
Highlighting the unpredictability of recalling memories, akin to rolling dice.
We had something one time, girl,
Acknowledging a past connection that was reconsidered before acting.
But we thought about it twice
Emphasizing the contemplation involved in reconsidering a significant decision.
When we ran
Repeating the theme of running, underscoring the irreversibility of past actions.
