Yesterday
Echoes of Yesterday: A Melancholic Reflection on Love's Unspoken Tides
Lyrics
Days like yesterday I can't help but romanticize
Reflecting on days like yesterday with a tendency to idealize or make them more romantic in memory.
In the quiet way that I'm used to
Describing the quiet and familiar manner in which the speaker is accustomed to processing these memories.
Next day I can't tell if I'm even remembering it right
Expressing uncertainty about the accuracy of recollection the following day.
Or if it saved wrong in my mind
Questioning whether the memory is distorted or incorrectly stored in the speaker's mind.
It's okay when I'm not awake
Acknowledging that it's acceptable to think about these memories when not fully awake.
To dwell and think about it
Encouraging reflection and contemplation even when not fully conscious.
What I gather from you
Addressing the feelings gathered from someone else (possibly a relationship) and indicating a lack of reciprocity.
You never have, you never do
Asserting that the person in question has never shown certain behaviors or feelings.
It's okay when I'm not awake
Reiterating the acceptance of dwelling on thoughts when not fully awake.
To dwell and think about it
Encouraging continued contemplation even in a state of partial wakefulness.
What I gather from you
Referencing the gathered feelings from the same person, emphasizing a pattern of non-reciprocity.
You never have, you never do
Reiterating the observation that the person never exhibits certain behaviors or emotions.
And I could wake up each morning with intent to make it great
Expressing a desire to start each day with positive intent but acknowledging a difference in approach compared to someone else.
Have to remind myself that you do it differently than me
Having to remind oneself about the differing ways of approaching life between the speaker and the other person.
It's hard to not think of you when you're never far away
Finding it challenging not to think about the person when they are always close in proximity.
Give me a minute to myself so I can think of what to say
Requesting a moment of solitude to gather thoughts and formulate what to say.
Longer now, sunk down, climb back up, meet up
Describing a longer period of time, possibly a struggle, followed by a resolution to return and reconnect.
Forget why I went away
Acknowledging a lapse in memory or understanding the reason for a previous departure.
It's okay when I'm not awake
Reiterating the acceptance of contemplating thoughts in a state of partial wakefulness.
To dwell and think about it
Encouraging continued reflection even when not fully awake.
What I gather from you
Referring to feelings gathered from the person, highlighting a consistent lack of reciprocation.
You never have, you never do
Stating that the person has never displayed certain actions or emotions.
It's okay when I'm not awake
Reiterating the acceptance of contemplating thoughts when not fully awake.
To dwell and think about it
Encouraging ongoing reflection even in a state of partial wakefulness.
What I gather from you
Highlighting the consistent lack of certain behaviors or emotions from the person in question.
You never have, you never do
Reiterating the observation that the person has never exhibited certain actions or feelings.
