Lyrics
It's been awhile since I had the right words
Reflecting on a past duration without finding appropriate expressions
I tripped all over my tongue stepping backwards Punched in your number. When the line engaged. Crawled inside myself and died. I get so strange It's like i'm living a bad dream this year
Struggling with communication, regretting actions, feeling disconnected, and overwhelmed
A little cooped up a lot of cannabis and beer
Feeling confined and using substances to cope
I lost a lot of ground when you went west
Suffering setbacks or losses due to someone's departure
You haunt every corner of our old apartment
Memories of a person are pervasive in familiar spaces
Amy
Directly addressing the person named "Amy"
When I fill in the blanks it's
Associating thoughts or emotions with the person
Amy
Reiterating the person's name in a reflective manner
The memory's all that it takes it's Amy
Emphasizing that memories are evoked by the person's name alone
Captured in frames and fleeting
Memories are transient and captured moments of the past
So California is still on fire
Referencing ongoing calamities in California
It's like all over the AP wire
News about the distress in California is widespread
I think about how you must be feeling?
Considering the emotions and experiences of the person named "Amy"
How much you miss the autumn in New England October driving the Kancamagus
Reflecting on shared memories of autumn and scenic drives
Spattered red orange on stretched white canvas Let's pull the trigger and just get married
Expressing a desire for commitment and normalcy in a relationship
Let's have that kid. Let's get ordinary
Yearning for a conventional life together
Amy
Repetition of the person's name, connecting emotions and thoughts
When I fill in the blanks it's Amy
Emphasizing the association of thoughts and memories with "Amy"
The memory's all that it takes Amy
Highlighting the power of memories triggered by the person's name
Captured in frames and fleeting
Reiterating the transient nature of captured memories
