Lyrics
Now that we've met
Expressing recognition of having encountered someone.
We can only laugh at these regrets
Reflecting on past mistakes or misjudgments with a sense of amusement.
Common as a winter cold
Comparing regrets to common occurrences, like a winter cold.
They're telephone poles
Metaphorically describing regrets as telephone poles in a line.
They follow each other
Highlighting the sequential nature of regrets, one following another.
One, after another, after another
Emphasizing the repetitive and continuous nature of regrets.
Now my heart is green as weeds
Describing the speaker's heart as resilient and enduring, likened to weeds.
Grown to outlive their season
Suggesting that the speaker's emotional strength surpasses its expected duration.
And nothing comforts me the same
Expressing a lack of solace or comfort in anything else.
As my brave friend who says
Introducing a supportive friend who dismisses the importance of eternity.
"I don't care if forever never comes
Quoting the friend's carefree attitude toward the concept of forever.
'Cause I'm holding out for that teenage feeling
Expressing the speaker's desire for a specific emotional state - "that teenage feeling."
I'm holding out for that teenage feeling"
Reiterating the speaker's anticipation and yearning for the mentioned feeling.
All the loves we had
Reflecting on past loves and experiences.
All we ever knew
Acknowledging the breadth of experiences the speaker has encountered.
Did they fill me with so many secrets
Pondering whether past experiences have hindered the speaker's ability to love again.
That keep me from loving you
Suggesting the presence of secrets that may be barriers to current love.
'Cause it's hard
Expressing the difficulty of overcoming these emotional challenges.
Hard
Repeating "Hard," emphasizing the persistent challenges faced in love.
