Had to Hear
Echoes of Longing: Real Estate's Melodic Reflections
Lyrics
I'm out again on my own
I am once again on my own.
A reflection in the chrome
Seeing my reflection in the chrome.
Of an adding machine
Reflecting on a calculating device (adding machine).
It's been so long
It has been a considerable amount of time.
My mind is drawing a blank
My mind is currently blank and uninspired.
Don't know if I can go back
Uncertain if I can return to a previous state.
But to live out this dream
To pursue and live out a particular dream.
It's just my luck
Expressing a sense of fortune or fate.
I call you up
I reach out and contact you.
I had to hear you just to feel near you
I needed to hear your voice just to feel close to you.
I know it's not true
Acknowledging that this feeling may not be genuine.
But it's been so long
It has been a significant amount of time.
I know it's wrong
Recognizing that certain actions are not right.
I know
An expression of awareness or realization.
I don't need the horizon to tell me where the sky ends
I don't require a clear view to understand where the sky meets the horizon.
Its a subtle landscape where I come from
Describing a familiar and nuanced environment of origin.
I'm out again on my own
I am once again on my own.
A reflection in the chrome
Seeing my reflection in the chrome.
Of an adding machine
Reflecting on a calculating device (adding machine).
It's been so long
It has been a considerable amount of time.
I call you up
I reach out and contact you.
I had to hear you just to feel near you
I needed to hear your voice just to feel close to you.
I know it's not true
Acknowledging that this feeling may not be genuine.
But it's been so long
It has been a significant amount of time.
I know it's wrong
Recognizing that certain actions are not right.
I know
An expression of awareness or realization.
