Cottonwood Mile
Rediscovering Love's Journey: Cottonwood Mile Insights
Lyrics
How long's it been since you and I
Reflecting on the duration since the speaker and the addressed person were together.
Rolled out the truck and took a country drive
Recalling a past experience of driving in the countryside after getting out of a truck.
I understand that you need some time
Acknowledging the need for space or time on the part of the addressed person.
I know some landmarks we used to hit
Reminiscing about specific places they used to visit together.
Where flying cotton would stick to your lips
Recalling a moment where cotton floating in the air would cling to the lips.
Now I know those lips ain't mine
Realizing that the intimacy once shared, symbolized by the lips, is no longer present.
They haven't been in a long, long time
Noting that a considerable amount of time has passed since they were close.
I'd like to patch it up, I wanna change your mind
Expressing a desire to reconcile and change the perspective of the addressed person.
Proving you and I weren't just a waste of time
Attempting to prove that their past relationship was meaningful and not a waste of time.
I'll take you back one last time down that cottonwood mile
Suggesting a return to a significant location, the "cottonwood mile," for a final time.
We pulled over and I spun the dial
Revisiting a memory of pulling over and adjusting the car radio.
Quickly grasping for one subtle smile
Seeking a positive response from the addressed person, indicated by a subtle smile.
Starling clouds obscured my sight
Describing an obstruction caused by clouds, possibly metaphorical for difficulties in the relationship.
Once I had you to myself
Recalling a time when the speaker had the addressed person exclusively to themselves.
Now you don't want me around
Acknowledging the current lack of desire from the addressed person to be around.
cnd I think about us standing there
Reflecting on a shared moment, possibly standing together with headlights illuminating the ground.
Our headlights on the ground
Describing a specific scene from the past involving their car's headlights.
In the cold Sunday evening
Setting the scene as a cold Sunday evening.
I'd like to patch it up, I wanna change your mind
Reiterating the desire to reconcile and change the perspective of the addressed person.
Proving you and I weren't just a waste of time
Re-emphasizing the importance of proving that their relationship was meaningful.
I'll take you back one last time
Expressing a willingness to revisit the significant location one last time.
Won't you take me back this time
Pleading for the addressed person to take the speaker back this time.
I'll take you back one last time down that cottonwood mile
Reiterating the intention to return to the "cottonwood mile" for a final time.
