Lyrics
It's been a while since we last crossed our paths
Reflecting on the time since the last meeting or encounter
I've been on the road for a while I guess
Been traveling for an extended period
But now I'm back Atlanta's been the best
Expressing contentment with being back in Atlanta
Yeah all the memories just came rushing back
Recollection of past experiences and nostalgia
My mama told me don't you dare look back
Advice from the mother to avoid dwelling on the past
Yeah when you miss him, remember the bad
Suggesting to recall negative aspects when missing someone
But now I'm back emotions rushing back
Intense return of emotions upon coming back
No these memories just won't leave my head
Struggle to get rid of persistent memories
No they won't leave my head
Reiterating the difficulty of escaping memories
That summer in Georgia when we met
Reflecting on the significant encounter in Georgia during summer
That summer in Georgia when we met
Reiteration of the impactful summer encounter
Bittersweet but I can't help but smile
Mixed feelings but choosing to smile despite them
I'm glad I felt it even for a while
Appreciation for experiencing emotions, even briefly
The air, the music and your hand in mine
Recalling specific sensory experiences shared
That summer was just practically divine
Describing the summer as almost heavenly
I see it in your eyes you feel the same
Perceiving mutual feelings through eye contact
Atlanta's magical, but all has changed
Acknowledging changes in the current situation
That summer almost felt like fantasy
Portraying the summer as almost unreal or dreamlike
But let's not turn it into tragedy
Optimism to not let the past turn negative
That summer in Georgia when we met
Repetition emphasizing the significance of that summer in Georgia
That summer in Georgia when we met
Reiteration for emphasis on the memorable encounter
That summer in Georgia when we met
Continued emphasis on the impactful summer
That summer in Georgia
Reiteration of the specific location and time
That summer
Emphasizing the temporality of the moment
That summer in Georgia when we met
Repetition signifying the lasting impact of that summer
That summer in Georgia when we met
Reiteration highlighting the memorable encounter
That summer in Georgia when we met
Continued emphasis on the significant meeting
That summer in Georgia
Reiteration, underscoring the importance of that particular summer
That summer
Final emphasis on the lasting memory of that specific summer
