This Is It
Embracing Life's Pivotal Moments: This Is It by Rich Aucoin
Lyrics
mary's stuck on seeing what she can't get back
Mary is fixated on things she can't regain.
pounding like the beating from a heart attack
Intense emotions comparable to a heart attack.
hiding it from strangers cause she's so polite
Mary hides her struggles from strangers due to politeness.
wanting to get back to when she felt alright
Desire to return to a time when she felt okay.
talking of the past like it was yesterday
Discussing the past as if it happened recently.
and it's all she'll recall anyway
The past dominates her thoughts.
cause she's lost in the moment
Lost in the present moment.
waiting alone this is all she'll get
Alone, waiting for something that's all she'll receive.
it's gone when it's over
Things end when they're over.
have you heard it yet?
Asking if you've heard the news.
this is it.
Declaring "this is it."
ryan's waiting standby for his yes or no
Ryan awaits a decisive answer.
holding in the goodbye like it's touch and go
Containing emotions during farewells.
wading through the water when it's sink or swim
Facing challenges with uncertain outcomes.
passing on the offers through the thick and thin
Rejecting opportunities through thick and thin.
running out of minutes while he's still on hold
Time slipping away while waiting on hold.
and who's gonna call him at all
No one contacts him despite missed opportunities.
when he's missed every moment?
Missing every moment, feeling lost.
waiting alone cause he can't commit
Waiting alone due to indecision.
it's gone when it's over
Things end when they're over (repeated theme).
have you heard it it?
Asking if you've heard the news (repeated theme).
this is it.
Declaring "this is it" (repeated theme).
alex went on hoping like they did before
Alex remains hopeful despite past hardships.
broken but still coping when they know there's more
Coping despite being broken, anticipating more.
fearing of it failing so they hold their tongue
Fearful of failure, keeping silent.
constantly derailing every one on one.
Disrupting connections with constant derailment.
safely on the sidelines giving up the dream
Choosing safety on the sidelines, abandoning dreams.
after all they withdrawal from the scene
Withdrawing from the scene after giving up.
cause they're scared of the moment
Fearful of the present moment (repeated theme).
waiting for something that they'll never get
Waiting for something unattainable.
losing their lives like they won't admit
Losing their lives without admitting it.
trying to find what they won't forget
Searching for unforgettable experiences.
good god when it's over but it ain't quite yet
Despite the end, it hasn't quite concluded.
this is it.
Reiterating that "this is it" (repeated theme).
trying to find what they won't forget
Continuing the search for unforgettable experiences (repeated theme).
it's gone when it's over have you heard it yet?
Things end when they're over (repeated theme).
this is it.
Asking if you've heard the news (repeated theme).
