Lyrics

I think I lost some years, sometimes I don't know how

I experienced a loss of time, and at times, I'm unsure of how it happened.

I forget to remember now

I neglect to recall things now; forgetting has become a habit.

You used to tell me things that you were thinking

You used to share your thoughts with me.

Now we don't even talk, that's what I'm thinking

Our communication has diminished to the point where we hardly talk.

Let's have a day outside for the lonely

Suggesting spending a day outdoors for those feeling lonely.

They're gonna cry tonight

Anticipating that lonely individuals will experience emotional distress.

I've got some stuff in a box, maybe I'll show you sometime

I have some personal items in a box; I might share them with you eventually.

But the box would think that was unwise

The box itself would disapprove of revealing its contents.

Some days the view from here, it means nothing

Some days, the perspective from my current position holds no significance.

I woke up with the fear again this morning

I woke up feeling fearful once again today.

Let's have a day outside in the sun

Suggesting spending a day outside in the sun.

Play around and have a lot of fun

Encouraging playfulness and enjoyment in the outdoors.

We've got some telescopes in our hands

We possess telescopes, metaphorical instruments for observation.

Just try to keep them pointed at the land

Emphasizing the need to focus these instruments on the tangible reality around us.

Let's have a day outside tonight

Reiterating the suggestion to spend time outdoors during the evening.

I've been distracted from the things that I wanna do

I've been diverted from my intended actions.

I've been distracted from the way I wanna be for you

Expressing distraction from being the person I aspire to be for someone.
