Lyrics
I thought about you today
I reflected on thoughts of you today
Your smile, and delicate ways
Your smile and gentle ways were in my thoughts
The times we'd run, and we'd walk
Recalling the times we ran and walked together
All this is caught in my thoughts
All these memories are captured in my mind
For all the footsteps walking on their own
Referring to various life paths represented by footsteps
Some things are better not known
Some things are better left undiscovered
And all the secrets I'll never know
There are secrets that will forever remain unknown
Hidden in the trees
Mysteries concealed in the metaphorical "trees" of life
Time was not on my side
Expressing a sense of time working against the speaker
I ran, I needed to hide
The speaker ran, possibly seeking refuge or escape
I thought that you'd maybe listen to me
Hoping for your attentive ear, though unsure if understood
In ways that I can't really see
Communication barriers preventing clear understanding
For all the footsteps walking on their own
Reiterating the diversity of life paths or experiences
Some things are better not known
Highlighting the value of some things remaining hidden
And all the secrets I'll never know
Acknowledging the existence of unrevealed mysteries
Locked up and hidden in the trees
Secrets remain concealed and protected, akin to trees
So now I'm tired of running around
Expressing weariness from a constant pursuit
Chasing things that'll never come down
Futile efforts in chasing unattainable goals
When you fall you don't hit the ground
Describing the impact of a fall without reaching the ground
You hit me
A metaphorical impact or emotional blow
The warning sign I needed to find
A realization or warning sign that was overlooked
Stopping me and keeping me blind
An obstruction preventing understanding or awareness
I always thought, but you never knew
Reflecting on unspoken thoughts or feelings
So quietly for you
Quietly waiting for acknowledgment or recognition
