One of a Kind
Echoes of Love Lost: Much the Same's Reflective 'One of a Kind'
Lyrics
These last few weeks there's been
Reflecting on recent weeks
Lots of talk about the past
Discussion about the past
About the true loves we've all lost
Reflecting on lost true loves
And the ones we never had
Consideration of unfulfilled loves
Vicariously reliving the pain
Experiencing pain indirectly
Of saying goodbye to you
Recalling the pain of saying goodbye
Has left me wondering exactly
Curiosity about the other person's life
What you've been up to
Wondering about the other person's activities
I've long since gotten over
Moving on from past mistakes
The aftermath of my mistakes
Dealing with the consequences of mistakes
Had pointed out to me
Learning from mistakes pointed out
The error of my ways
Acknowledging errors
But the little things keep
Intrusive memories of small details
Showing up inside my mind
Recurring thoughts in the mind
And a better friend than you were
No better friend found
I don't think that I can find
Lamenting the absence of a close friend
But now seeing you again
Encountering the person again
Reminds me thankfully of why
Grateful for the positive memories
The bar was raised so high
Recognizing high standards set in the past
I'm not writing you this song
Not expressing a desire to rekindle
To say I want you back
No intention to rekindle a romantic relationship
It's simply that I hope
Expressing hope to maintain connection
I'll never lose you again
Fearing the loss of the person again
I think about the days we spent together
Recalling shared moments
I come to realize it's all blurry
Realization of hazy memories
And I can't remember all that much
Difficulty in recalling past experiences
Except how happy we both were back then
Remembering happiness in the past
And how these days I'm not even sure
Uncertainty about current friendship
If I can call you friend
Ambiguity in defining the current relationship
