Dear John,
Lost Echoes: Nightshift's Dear John Unveiled
Lyrics
Dear John
Addressing someone named John
Tell me where you been
Inquiring about John's whereabouts
Why you never call or hear you from again
Questioning why there is no communication
Did you lose yourself or are you doing alright
Wondering if John is struggling or doing well
Dear John
Repeating the address to John
You're doing it again
Noting a repeated behavior in John
Why you pushing out all the ones who let you in?
Questioning John's tendency to push away those who care
I guess you never cared if you were living a lie
Suggesting John may have been living a deceptive life
And when the ink dries, from your lonely eyes
Referring to emotions and consequences when reality sets in
Maybe then you'll find, you'll find me
Encouraging John to find the speaker after self-reflection
You'll find me
Repetition emphasizing the hope to be found
Dear John
Reiterating the address to John
I saw you on the Tok
Noting seeing John on a platform called "Tok" (possibly TikTok)
Chilling with your friends who never gave a fuck
Criticizing John for hanging out with indifferent friends
What about the ones who always stood by your side
Questioning John's loyalty to those who supported him
Dear John
Repeating the address to John
I heard you're falling in
Heard about John getting involved in something questionable
Playing house of cards with all your favorite sins
Accusing John of engaging in risky behavior
I guess when you're a star, you don't have to apologize
Suggesting that stardom exempts John from apologies
And when the ink dries, from your lonely eyes
Reiterating emotional consequences for John's actions
Maybe then you'll find, you'll find me
Encouraging John to find the speaker after self-reflection
When you finally rhyme, falling out of time
When John finds his rhythm and self-awareness
Words you just can't find, you'll find me
Describing the difficulty John may face expressing himself
You'll find me
Repetition emphasizing the hope to be found
When you lay down could I come over
Asking for permission to visit John when he's vulnerable
You could lay your head up on my shoulder
Suggesting emotional support by offering a shoulder
We could let it lie now that we're older
Proposing resolution now that both are older
And when the ink dries, from your lonely eyes
Reiterating emotional consequences for John's actions
Maybe then you'll find, you'll find me
Encouraging John to find the speaker after self-reflection
When you finally rhyme
When John finds his rhythm
Falling out of time
Describing John falling out of sync with time
Words you just can't find
Highlighting John's struggle to find the right words
You'll find me
Encouraging John to find the speaker after self-reflection
You'll find me
Repetition emphasizing the hope to be found
You'll find me
