Lyrics
Back to my old trampoline
Reflecting on past experiences and memories represented by the metaphor of a trampoline.
Back to when the days were so easy
Nostalgia for a time when life was simpler and more carefree.
Back to when kissing was an innocent dream
Recalling a time when kissing was innocent and held dreamlike qualities.
Oh I know, oh I know
Expressing a sense of understanding or realization (repeated for emphasis).
Remember when you used to love me
Revisiting a memory of when the person was loved.
Remember we would sing songs about anything
Reminiscing about singing songs that encompassed various themes, including the self and relationships.
About us, about you, about me
Highlighting the diversity of topics in the songs related to "us," "you," and "me."
Back to when oh, when I was your dream
Returning to a time when the singer was someone's dream or ideal.
But now the days seem to drift by
Expressing the passage of time and a sense of longing without the person in their thoughts.
Oh without you on my mind
Recurring thoughts reminiscent of an old story that persists in the singer's mind.
Back in my head like an old story I read
Comparing the persistent thoughts to an old story read in the past.
Oh I know, you're never coming back again
Acknowledging the realization that the person is not returning.
Like an old kaleidoscope put to rest
Using a kaleidoscope metaphor to describe the fading vibrancy and variety in life without the person.
Without your colors resonating in my head
Describing the absence of the person's influence on the singer's thoughts.
Collecting dust near a table by my head
Depicting a metaphorical accumulation of emotional dust and stagnation without the person.
Oh I know, oh I know, I know
Reiterating the singer's understanding or acceptance of the situation (repeated for emphasis).
Sometimes I feel like its at the beginning
Feeling as if time has reset to the initial stages of the relationship.
When your mommy used to love me
Recalling a time when the person's mother loved the singer.
Back when I enjoyed your brother's company
Reflecting on a time when the singer enjoyed the company of the person's brother.
Oh I know, oh I know, oh I know
Expressing understanding or realization, repeated for emphasis.
But now the days seem to drift by
Repetition of the theme of time passing without thoughts of the person.
Oh without you on my mind
Reiterating the persistent thoughts as an old, recurring story in the singer's mind.
Back in my head like an old story I read
Acknowledging the irreversible nature of the person not returning.
Oh I know, you're never coming back again
Emphasizing the acceptance of the reality that the person is gone.
But now the days seem to drift by
Repetition of the theme of time passing without thoughts of the person (repeated for emphasis).
Oh without you on my mind
Reiterating the persistent thoughts as an old, recurring story in the singer's mind (repeated for emphasis).
Back in my head like an old story I read
Acknowledging the irreversible nature of the person not returning (repeated for emphasis).
Oh I know, you're never coming back again
Emphasizing the acceptance of the reality that the person is gone (repeated for emphasis).
