Hearts Away
Longing Echoes: Nostalgia, Lost Love, and Unfulfilled Dreams
Lyrics
Hearts away, I cast my heart
Expressing a feeling of distance or separation, the singer has emotionally detached.
To some romantic yesterday
Reflecting on a time of past romance or love that was more innocent and idealized.
When I was young and on my own
The singer reminisces about a period of independence and youth.
And you were blind to everyone but me
The singer believes they were the center of their lover's attention during that time.
Now today, I throw my heart to some
Further distancing from current emotions, casting feelings to distant memories.
Forgotten memory, when you were
Thinking about a past when the lover was meant for them.
What was meant for me, a stranger
Realizing the lover is now like a stranger, unfamiliar.
With a place to always be
The lover had a consistent place or role in the singer's life.
Hearts away
Repeated chorus emphasizing the idea of emotionally distancing oneself.
Hearts away
-Hearts away
-Cast away, I cast my heart away each
Discarding feelings or memories each time the lover appears in thoughts.
Time I think I see
Seeing the lover's image in various situations or places.
Your face come down a crowded avenue
Despite appearances, the actual lover never truly reappears.
How come it's never really you
Feeling a sense of disappointment or betrayal when hopes are dashed.
And today, I cry myself to sleep each night
Expressing deep sorrow and longing during nights.
I only wish, I'd wake to see you lying next to me
Wishing for the dream of waking up next to the lover to be true.
I know I'm sure it's killing me
Believing that the emotional pain is detrimental to well-being.
Hearts away
Repeated chorus emphasizing the continued theme of emotional detachment.
Hearts away
-Hearts away
-Oh I wanna know
Expressing a desire for clarity or understanding about past moments.
All the times I held you near me
Reflecting on intimate moments when the lover was close.
Did you think I'd ever let you go now
Questioning if the lover ever doubted their bond or connection.
And the time I had you with me
Recalling a specific time when the lover was present.
Did you feel so sorry for the lonely ones
Wondering if the lover ever empathized with others who felt lonely.
Are we the only ones
Questioning if they are the only ones experiencing such heartache.
Hearts away
Reiterating the emotional distance or separation from the lover.
Now today I throw my heart
Repeating the act of casting away emotions towards forgotten memories.
To some forgotten memory
Reflecting again on the past when the lover was significant.
When you were what was meant for me
Reiterating the idea that the lover was destined or meant for the singer.
A stranger with a place to always be
Seeing the lover now as a stranger but still having a consistent place in memory.
Hearts away
Final repetition of the chorus, underscoring the theme of emotional detachment.
Hearts away
-Hearts away
-Hearts away
