Bring You Back
Echoes of Longing: Peter Stuart's Melodic Quest to Bring Back a Lost Love
Lyrics
I've been walking backwards lately
I've been reflecting on the past recently by revisiting old memories.
To see if I could find you
I'm searching for you in my backward-looking journey.
I still wear your old shirt sometimes
I still wear a shirt that belonged to you, carrying the marks of your habits.
With the cigarette holes
The shirt has cigarette burns, reminders of your presence.
That you burned through
Imagining you falling asleep while watching TV in a specific room of our home.
Imagine you falling asleep
If only I could bring you back, we could discuss everything once again.
Watching tv in the den
Continuing the thought of bringing you back.
If I could bring you back
If only I could bring you back to life.
And talk about everything
We could engage in meaningful conversations about various topics.
If I could bring you back again.
If I had the power, I would bring you back repeatedly.
I lost my faith in the world
My faith in the world diminished when you vanished.
When you disappeared
Now, I've regained my stability and sense of self.
Now I've finally found my feet again
I long for your presence and wish you were still here.
And I wish
You were here
Expressing the desire for the person to be physically present.
To walk in the living room
Imagining scenarios of daily life where your actions were part of the routine.
And turn the radio off
Highlighting a simple act, like turning off the radio, that symbolizes your presence.
If I could bring you back
If only I could bring you back, I would share a song with you.
I'd play you a little song
If I had the chance, I'd play music for you.
If I could bring you back
Reiterating the longing to bring the person back.
But you're gone
Unfortunately, you're no longer here.
I'm happy for the things I have
Expressing contentment for current blessings but acknowledging the void without the person.
One thing I'd like to change
Identifying a specific aspect one wishes to change despite overall happiness.
I'd spend my nights making you laugh
Expressing a desire to bring joy to the person through laughter.
I'd do anything to see your face again
Willing to do anything to witness the person's face again.
Just to make you smile
The mere act of making the person smile would bring a sense of liberation.
Would set me free
If I could bring you back
Expressing the sweetness that bringing the person back would entail.
That'd be the sweetest thing
If I could bring you back
If I could bring you back, I would be willing to do anything necessary.
I would do anything
Repeating the willingness to go to great lengths to bring the person back.
If I could bring you back
If only I could bring you back to be with me again.
To me
