The Things I Think
Echoes of Remembrance: Nostalgic Reflections on Love Lost
Lyrics
Time goes by and day by day
Reflecting on the passage of time and the routine of each day.
You're still there, just a memory locked away
Preserving memories, although distant and locked away.
That rears its head when I get drunk
Memories resurface, especially during moments of intoxication.
When I get lonely and when I think too much
Loneliness and excessive thinking trigger memories to emerge.
The voice gets loud, my mind gets weak
Internal struggles intensify when feeling vulnerable.
And I feel a little blue
Experiencing a melancholic or sad state.
The things I think, the drinks I drink
Reflection on thoughts and actions tied to a past connection.
All come back to you
Acknowledging that experiences and choices revolve around that person.
Somehow when you're far away you feel so very near
Feeling emotional closeness even when physically distant.
I don't know what you did today or what you've done this year
Uncertainty about the details of the other person's life.
A picture tells me you're ok, but looking pretty blue
Perceiving emotional struggles despite a positive facade.
Things we don't say, the words we don't sing
Unspoken feelings and unsung words contribute to the sense of loss.
I'm just missing you
Expressing the emotional void caused by the absence of the person.
The things I think, the drinks I drink
Reiteration of the connection between thoughts, drinks, and the person.
All come back to you
Continuing to be influenced by memories and emotions linked to the person.
The times we spent went by so fast
Recalling the fleeting nature of shared moments.
We shared our song it could not last
Acknowledging that their shared song couldn't endure.
Real life's not like that
Contrasting the impermanence of real life with the idealized past.
Not for long
Recognizing the closure of a chapter and the need to move forward.
A chapter closed and we move on
Accepting the inevitability of change and progression.
I lie awake sometimes at night, the dark blends into day
Nighttime introspection and wondering about the other person's well-being.
I wonder if you're doing the same, and if you're doing okay
Expressing concern for the other person's current state and situation.
The things I think, the drinks I drink
Reiteration of the enduring impact of thoughts and drinks on the person.
All come back to you
Continuing to grapple with memories and emotions linked to the person.
The things I think, the drinks I drink
Emphasizing the persistent influence of thoughts and drinks on the person.
All come back to you
Final acknowledgment of the inescapable connection to the person.
