Nostalgic Echoes: Love, Loss, and Coffee in 'Time to Time'
Lyrics
Waking up there in that twin size bed we shared
Reflecting on waking up in a shared twin-size bed
My knees against the wall
Describing physical position with knees against the wall
I turn and watch you laying there, your chest rises and falls
Observing the partner sleeping, paying attention to breathing
You're still sleeping so I'm reading and I'm watching as you're breathing
Reading while partner sleeps, being attentive to their presence
When you wake I kiss your face and go to make some coffee
Kissing partner awake and starting the day with coffee
You drift in and out of consciousness
Partner drifting in and out of consciousness
Oh you're no good for talking in the morning
Partner not talkative in the morning
You're still yawning as I'm packing up my clothes
Packing up clothes while partner is still waking up
Do you think about it too
Questioning if the partner thinks about their past together
When you're laying in your room
Wondering about partner's thoughts in their own room
All the changes we went through
Reflecting on past changes in the relationship
I couldn't be enough for you
Feeling inadequate in the relationship
Do you think about it still
Questioning if the partner still thinks about the past
Has it changed or never will
Wondering if the past has changed or remains unchanged
Hope you know I'm doing fine
Assuring the partner of personal well-being
I just miss you time to time
Expressing occasional longing and missing the partner
I felt your arms around my body but I tried to push them off
Recalling physical intimacy but feeling uncomfortable
Cause I could feel my flaws under your hands
Acknowledging personal flaws and vulnerabilities
Too personal, too soft
Describing the interaction as too personal and soft
But you said honey, I think you're lovely
Partner's reassurance of finding the speaker lovely
Always beautiful to me
Acknowledging the partner's perception of beauty
You're on a phone call in your bedroom so I sit out on the couch
Observing partner on a phone call, sitting on the couch
I watch a movie and I think of things to talk to you about
Thinking about topics to discuss with the partner
When you're done you come and sit with me
Partner joining after the call, engaging in conversation
I tell you all those funny things
Sharing humorous stories and enjoying time together
We watch tv and kiss until we're too tired to move
Watching TV and kissing until exhaustion
Do you think about it too
Reflecting on past changes in the relationship
When you're laying in your room
Wondering about partner's thoughts in their own room
All the changes we went through
Reflecting on past changes in the relationship
I couldn't be enough for you
Feeling inadequate in the relationship
Do you think about it still
Questioning if the partner still thinks about the past
Has it changed or never will
Wondering if the past has changed or remains unchanged
Hope you know i'm doing fine
Assuring the partner of personal well-being
I just miss you time to time
Expressing occasional longing and missing the partner
I wrote you letters, took your picture, put the posters on your walls
Listing efforts to maintain a connection, such as letters and pictures
I drove to Philly in the summer, made you sweaters in the fall
Recalling specific moments and gestures throughout the seasons
I gave you everything I had
Expressing giving everything to the relationship
Said I loved you in more ways than I knew how
Expressing love in various ways
I still smile when I see those pictures show up on my phone
Smiling at memories, acknowledging a lasting impact
You've made your way into my life forever, my heart will be your home
Expressing a lasting connection and emotional presence
You're always with me, and in the city I hope I see you around
Hopeful to encounter the partner in the city
