You Were Just Here
Fleeting Forever: A Melodic Tale of Love's Transience
Lyrics
It used to be good, that’s simply put
Reflecting on a past time that was good but now seems simple or uncomplicated.
More like why, I live half In time
Questioning the reason for living partially in the present and partially in the past.
Goes up and down, not a thing around
Describing a fluctuating emotional state with nothing substantial around.
you stepped away, away, away
Noting someone's departure with a repetitive emphasis on the distance created.
She’s gone, she gone
Acknowledging the absence of a significant person ("she") in the speaker's life.
She slipped away
Expressing how the person gradually slipped away from the speaker's life.
She’s gone, she gone
Reiterating the absence of the person and the impact it has on the speaker.
Probably come back ya know
Speculating that the person might return in the future.
Right when I get back to me
Anticipating the person's return coinciding with the speaker finding themselves.
She goes and slips away, away, away
Highlighting the recurring theme of the person slipping away.
You were just here and now you’re gone
Expressing the sudden transition from the person being present to being gone.
I guess what lasts forever isn’t long
Reflecting on the impermanence of things that seem to last forever.
You were just here and now you’re gone
Repeating the sentiment of the person's sudden absence.
Whatever comes first and me don’t get along
Emphasizing the speaker's incompatibility with what lasts forever.
She’s gone, she gone, a lot you can say went wrong
Stating that a lot went wrong in the context of the person being gone.
You know I guess forever isn’t very long
Commenting on the fleeting nature of forever.
Cause you were just here and now you’re gone
Reiterating the contrast between the person being present and now gone.
Now I know forever isn’t long
Realizing that forever isn't as long as previously thought.
Isn’t long
Repeating the idea that forever isn't long.
Isn’t long
Reaffirming the brevity of forever.
You were just here and now you’re gone
Recalling the person's recent presence and quick departure.
Now I know forever ain’t too long
Understanding that forever is not too long in the context of the person's absence.
Cause you were just here and now you’re gone
Reiterating the realization that forever isn't long.
Now I know forever isn’t long
Reaffirming the brevity of forever in the speaker's newfound understanding.
Isn’t long
Repeating the idea that forever isn't long.
