Don't Know When
Embracing Change: Michael Tomlinson's Timeless Journey of Love and Discovery
Lyrics
I've been away,
Expressing a period of absence or distance.
There must be something in the air that has called me to stay
Suggesting a mysterious force keeping the speaker in a particular place.
I'm over the cloudy feeling that I had to get out of the rain
Overcoming a previous feeling of gloom or sadness, possibly related to escaping difficulties.
This summer, it doesn't matter whatever calls out my name
Embracing the carefree and indifferent attitude of summer, regardless of external influences.
I'm ready, are you ready cause after this we'll never be the same
Anticipating a significant change after a shared experience.
Getting ready to ride on the wind
Preparing for an unpredictable journey symbolized by riding on the wind.
Do you believe we'll ever feel this again
Questioning the possibility of re-experiencing a particular emotion or moment.
I want your weight upon me
Desiring the presence and influence of the other person.
Don't want to be lost and lonely
Expressing a fear of feeling lost and isolated.
I want to wake to find a world we belong in
Expressing a desire for a world where both individuals feel a sense of belonging.
Lay all your hair around me then act surprised that you found me
Imagining an intimate and comforting moment.
I'm always going but I don't know when
Conveying a perpetual state of uncertainty about future departures.
I'm on the phone,
Engaging in a distant conversation, possibly metaphorical.
I hear you breathing and I'm off in a world of my own for so long,
Being immersed in one's thoughts and emotions, detached from the immediate surroundings.
So many reasons hard to discern where the hell I'm going, I'm rolling,
Feeling directionless but maintaining a steady rhythm in life.
Steady rhythm, keeping the pace with a song
Using music as a metaphor for maintaining balance and consistency.
Oh woman, am I dreaming, or are you as real as the cloud I'm on
Questioning the reality of a positive experience, possibly a romantic one.
Getting ready to ride on the wind
Reiterating readiness for an unpredictable journey, echoing earlier sentiments.
Do you believe we'll ever feel this again
Repeating the uncertainty of re-experiencing a particular emotion or moment.
Oh fall was on and you were gone
Reflecting on a past season and the absence of a significant person during that time.
So much for summer days
Expressing disappointment or a contrast between expectations and reality.
Yeah but the letters come and every one
Noting the repetition of messages, possibly indicating a sense of longing or nostalgia.
Repeats what I used to say
Repeating a phrase, emphasizing the cyclical nature of the speaker's expressions.
