Flatland
Flatland Reflections: Love, Longing, and Double Rainbows
Lyrics
I was getting sick of flatland blues
Feeling tired of the mundane and monotonous experiences
Getting tired of always seeing you with someone new
Experiencing exhaustion from witnessing the ex-partner constantly with new people
You never liked my guys and so be it
Acknowledging that the ex-partner never approved of the speaker's friends
Always thinking we were a better fit
Believing that the speaker and the ex-partner were better suited for each other
Now you're running off to corny island
Expressing the ex-partner's pursuit of a cliché or predictable happiness elsewhere
With the eyes of a lifetime and nerve to find him
Describing the ex-partner's search for something meaningful with determination
Camping out west with a pack of beer
Engaging in an escapade to the western region while reminiscing about another person's company
Wishing somebody else was here
Wishing for a different person's presence despite the current situation
I was getting sick of flatland food
Expressing dissatisfaction with routine and ordinary food
Missed you taking me out and changing the mood
Longing for the ex-partner's influence in changing the ambiance
Sit in pink and talking for hours
Recalling moments of intimate conversation in a comfortable setting
Getting all drenched in a pretty shower
Enjoying being completely immersed or involved in a pleasant experience
Nobody else is gonna say what I do
Asserting that nobody else will express thoughts as the speaker does
No one's gonna stop you from being you
Acknowledging the freedom for the ex-partner to remain true to themselves
And moving away where I can't see you
Expressing the desire to move away from a situation where the ex-partner is visible
Knowing our stars are pure and true
Believing in the authenticity and purity of the memories shared with the ex-partner
I was getting sick of never being with you
Expressing dissatisfaction about not being together with the ex-partner
Time makes it better but yes it's true
Acknowledging that time helps in healing but uncertain about completely moving on
I don't know if I'll ever let go
Uncertain about letting go of thoughts about missed opportunities and idealized scenarios
Of what ifs and double rainbows
Contemplating about possibilities and unrealistic expectations
Nothing's gonna change the course laid out
Accepting the inevitability of the current trajectory or situation
I want the best for you and the biggest trout
Wishing the best for the ex-partner's future endeavors and making a humorous reference
And maybe I won't get over you
Admitting uncertainty about completely moving past the feelings for the ex-partner
Maybe I don't really ever want to
Contemplating the possibility of never truly wanting to move on from the ex-partner
