Lyrics
I let go of yesterday
The speaker is moving on from the past.
The sunsets dimmer and fade away
Things from the past are fading.
I want to but I cannot stay
Despite the desire, the speaker cannot remain.
So I pack my bags and I run today
They're leaving immediately, escaping today.
Sleepless days
Unable to sleep during the day.
Make sleepless nights
The sleepless nights continue due to stress.
Is something wrong
Questioning if something is amiss.
I lost my appetite
The speaker has lost interest in eating.
Is something wrong with me
Concerned about a potential issue with themselves.
I leave it all lost in the past
Leaving everything behind, focusing on the past.
Why can't good things ever last
Questioning why good things don't endure.
Cross my heart and I hope to die
Expressing a serious commitment to a statement.
Cause I'm missing my paradise
Longing for a lost perfect place or time.
I set my fate on that
The speaker's destiny was determined by this longing.
Monday morning
A specific moment in the past.
The skies were clear
Describing the weather contrasted with internal turmoil.
But my heart was pouring
Emotional pain despite outward calmness.
I said goodbye to that Dudley home
Bidding farewell to a previous home.
Time has come to let
Time to release and move on.
Go today
Letting go of the past starting today.
My boys were great
Positive sentiment towards people or memories.
I let go away
Allowing something important to slip away.
But I want
A conflicting desire to stay.
To stay
Yearning to remain despite leaving.
From the cards I drew
Metaphorically referencing a card game and the choice made.
The king I play
Choosing a bold move or action (the "king").
It's a flush here to save the day
Hope that this choice will save the situation.
It holds me down
Feeling tied or anchored in a chaotic place.
In that wild town
Maybe considering staying in the turbulent environment.
Maybe next time we'll stay around
Leaving the past behind, but hopeful for the future.
I leave it all lost in the past
A repetition of leaving behind the past.
Why can't good things ever last
Reiterating the frustration about the impermanence of good things.
I cross my heart and hope to die
Repeating the serious commitment to a statement.
Cause I'm missing my paradise
Expressing the longing for a lost perfect place or time.
Where I was left to my own means
Reflecting on a time of independence and admiration.
And the people loved me
Recalling positive feelings from a specific place or community.
Dudley you'll be dropped off in the past
Saying goodbye to Dudley, leaving it in the past.
Why do good things never last
Expressing frustration about the transience of good things.
