What a Life
Echoes of Life's Journey: Love, Loss, and Unforgettable Moments
Lyrics
Oh what a day
Expressing awe and reflection on the events of the day.
Here's to watching you come, then fade away
Celebrating the experience of witnessing someone's presence and then seeing them fade away.
Just like those dreams
Comparing the transient nature of life to fleeting dreams.
When you wake up, wanna go back to sleep
Desiring to return to a state of blissful ignorance by going back to sleep.
And now that it's gone
Reflecting on the passing of a dream that couldn't be held onto.
That dream that you couldn't hold on
Emphasizing the loss of a dream that slipped away.
But soon it'll all be forget
Anticipating the eventual forgetting of the lost dream.
Oh what a year
Reflecting on a challenging year with multiple deaths and failed relationships.
Five deaths, two loves, I didn't even fear
Acknowledging the emotional challenges faced without succumbing to fear.
Oh I didn't hear
Unawareness of significant events due to the overwhelming pain of a breakup.
Over the sound of her leaving me
Being oblivious to other events due to the impact of a breakup.
Again and again
Determined not to let the person back into the speaker's life.
This time I won't let her get in
Despite determination, the person has re-entered the speaker's life.
Uh-oh fuck and I already did
Expressing frustration at succumbing to the temptation of letting the person return.
And I'd walk on the streets just to find you, my dear
Willingness to make significant efforts to find and reconnect with the person.
And I'd climb on a cliff if you'd see me from there
Expressing a willingness to go to great heights for the person's attention.
And I'd go the wrong way if you ask me to
Willingness to go against conventional paths if requested by the person.
But I'd never be late for a dinner for two
Commitment to being punctual for important shared moments.
Oh what a life
Reflecting on a fulfilling life with family but longing for a romantic encounter.
Got two kids, a dog, and even a wife
Listing the elements of a seemingly complete life but expressing a desire for something more.
Sweetheart, it's true
Acknowledging the truth of the desire for a romantic encounter.
I'd leave it all for one night with you
Expressing a willingness to leave everything for a single night with the desired person.
To relive the day
Expressing a desire to relive a past day when the person left.
Back then when you went away
Anticipating the person's departure again.
And soon you could be on your way again
Acceptance of the imminent departure and willingness to let the person go.
Mm, the things I'd do for you
Expressing a willingness to do anything for the person.
Let me name a few
List of extreme actions the speaker would take for the person.
I'd, I'd fly to the moon and back
Expressing a willingness to go to great distances for the person.
To show you what your lovers lack
Desire to showcase what the person's previous lovers lack.
And I'd, I'd give up my firstborn son
Extreme willingness to sacrifice for the person's satisfaction.
Just to see your dress undone
Expressing a desire for an intimate moment with the person.
And I, I would eat a fucking shoe
Hyperbolic statement to emphasize the speaker's dedication.
To sit and have a chat with you
Willingness to engage in casual conversation with the person.
And I'd come over, fix your drain
Offering to help with practical matters to see the person happy.
If I could see you smile again
Expressing a desire to witness the person's smile again.
And I, I'd walk to Rome on foot
Expressing a willingness to undertake a challenging journey for the person.
To get a wheel of cheese for ya
Hyperbolic statement about obtaining a special item for the person.
I'm talking real Italian
Emphasizing the authenticity of the special item, Parmigiano-Reggiano.
Parmigiano-Reggiano, baby
Confirmation and query about understanding the speaker's commitment.
Mi capiche?
Italian phrase meaning "Do you understand?"
