Lyrics
Yesterday she opened up, a book of memories and stuff
Reflecting on the past, exploring a book of memories.
Bunch of pictures from the past, girls she knew and boys she smashed
Reviewing pictures of past relationships and experiences.
Polaroids and old flip phones, dirty dancing, mr jones
Recalling moments captured in Polaroids and old flip phones, including memories of dancing and a person referred to as Mr. Jones.
Sees a life she might've lost, couldn't help but notice
Recognizing aspects of life that may have been lost or missed.
She don't wear the same clothes she used to, she used to
Noticing a change in her fashion choices from the past.
She don't dream the dreams that she used to, she used to
Acknowledging a shift in her dreams or aspirations.
These days she just lives for the weekend, the weekend
Current focus on living for the weekend.
Time goes by real fast when your sleeping, when your sleeping
Time passing quickly during sleep, emphasizing the fleeting nature of time.
Closed the book and rubbed her eyes, traced her fingers down her thighs
Closing the book of memories and contemplating what might have been.
Likes to think what might've been, if she ended up with him
Imagining alternate life paths, wondering about a potential romantic partner.
Shuts it off she starts to breathe, knows its wrong make believe
Consciously stopping the imaginary scenarios, aware of their fictional nature.
In the dream she thought she had, couldn't help but notice
Noticing the impact of a dream, possibly suggesting longing or nostalgia.
She don't wear the same clothes she used to, she used to
Reiterating the change in her clothing style over time.
She don't dream the dreams that she used to, she used to
Emphasizing the evolution of her dreams and aspirations.
These days she just lives for the weekend, the weekend
Revealing a current focus on enjoying the weekends.
Time goes by real fast when your sleeping, when your sleeping
Highlighting the swift passage of time during sleep.
Takes a walk, puts on her shoes, ain't got nothing left to lose
Taking a proactive step, possibly indicating a readiness for change.
Kind of hard to face the blade, in the house your parents made
Facing challenges or difficulties, symbolized by the reference to a blade and parental influence.
Now we're out here on our own, taking pictures on our phones
Transitioning to independence, capturing moments through contemporary technology.
When you're in the good old days, you never seem to notice
Reflecting on the failure to appreciate the "good old days" when they were happening.
