Then I Did
Embracing Dreams and Love's Revelation
Lyrics
I thought about calling you when I got off the plane
I considered reaching out to you upon landing.
Every time I see this city through the clouds I get that way
Seeing the city from above triggers emotions in me.
Call me crazy for missing you like this but I do
Admitting that missing you might seem irrational, but it's true.
By now I figured you had all your numbers changed
Assuming you changed your contact information by now.
It's been at least a year since I called you up to say
It's been a year since I told you about a job opportunity.
We need to talk I got this job and I think I'm going to take it
Expressing the need to talk about a significant job offer.
'Cause I been waiting all my life
Implying a long wait for a breakthrough moment in life.
For a break like this
Expressing anticipation for a life-changing opportunity.
It's my chance of a lifetime I just know it is
Believing it's the chance of a lifetime.
I gotta go find these dreams
Expressing the need to pursue personal dreams.
Was the last thing that I said
Highlighting that pursuing dreams was the last topic discussed.
And then I did
Acting upon the decision to chase dreams.
I can see clear to the mountains as I head up our old street
Observing the familiar surroundings on the way to the mountains.
I remember how we'd call in sick on days like these
Recalling times when both would skip work and enjoy the day.
And turn the music up roll the windows down and just drive
Describing carefree drives with loud music and open windows.
You talked me outta givin' up on myself so many times
Acknowledging your role in preventing self-doubt and giving up.
Convinced me to get in while I could regrets hang heavy on the mind
Reflecting on the advice to seize opportunities to avoid regrets.
But you never doubted me you kept pushing me
Noticing unwavering support and encouragement.
Saying you've been waiting all your life for a break like this
Repeating the sentiment of waiting for a life-changing break.
It's your chance of a lifetime you just know it is
Encouraging the other person to pursue dreams with confidence.
You gotta go find those dreams
Highlighting the importance of chasing personal dreams.
Was the last thing that you said
Recalling that pursuing dreams was the last advice given.
And then I did
Confirming the decision to act on pursuing dreams.
But you were wrong
Admitting that the pursuit of love was the real desire.
Love was what I wanted all along
Expressing a realization that love was the true goal.
And now you're gone
Noting the absence of the person after this realization.
I thought about calling you when I got off the plane
Reiterating the thought of contacting upon arrival.
Every time I see this city through the clouds I get that way
Linking the view of the city to emotional reflections.
But you were wrong
Repeating the acknowledgment that love was the true desire.
Love was what I wanted all along
Emphasizing the underlying desire for love throughout.
