Old Days
Chasing Demons, Embracing Love: Patrick Rock's Nostalgic Ode to Old Days
Lyrics
We left here back in '95
Reflecting on leaving at the time around 1995
The world seemed different then
Perception of the world being different in the past
Forget all the heartache we've been through
Choosing to overlook past hardships
Lord your smile still can blow my mind, when we were kids and now
Recalling the impact of a loved one's smile, both in childhood and now
Tell me that your heart is in the right place
Seeking reassurance about sincerity
I'll believe you I promise
Expressing trust in the other person's words
Tell me about the demons you've been chasing away
Asking about struggles and challenges faced
'Cause no one has a better view or chance to pull you through this mess
Believing in one's ability to help overcome difficulties
So I talk about the old days
Reflecting on past experiences
And I remember what you said just like it was yesterday
Recalling a memorable statement from the past
Holding hands we felt so safe
Feeling secure while holding hands
And when our lips touched
Intensity of emotions when kissing
Fireworks exploded in the sky
Symbolic description of passionate moments
Nothing but blue skies now
Presently experiencing positive times
We got married in this small town
Recollection of getting married in a small town
But it ain't so small when there's love
Emphasizing the impact of love in any setting
Our kids have outgrown this house
Children growing up and leaving home
Out in the world now to make us proud
Feeling pride in children's achievements
Just like the beginning
Comparing the current moment to the start of a relationship
It's just us
Emphasizing the unity between the couple
Tell me that your heart is in the right place
Requesting confirmation of emotional alignment
I'll believe you I promise
Expressing trust in the other's affirmation
Tell me about the demons you've been chasing away
Asking about ongoing struggles and challenges
'Cause no one has a better view or chance to pull you through this mess
Believing in the ability to support and assist
So I talk about the old days
Reflecting on past experiences, perhaps to find solace or connection
And we get high
Sharing moments of being carefree or relaxed
We both reminisce
Mutual recollection of past events or memories
And no one makes a sound for bit
Quiet contemplation or nostalgia
Funny how we both made it through
Reflection on overcoming difficulties
And suddenly the laughter begins and we kiss
Transition from contemplation to joyous interaction
Yeah, we kiss
Reaffirmation of affection through a kiss
Nothing but blue skies now
Currently experiencing a positive phase
