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
