Lyrics
The blues bent and caught me by surprise
The blues took me by surprise, causing emotional distress.
You went and you made it back alive
You returned alive from a challenging experience.
And you sent me a message from a brighter day
You conveyed a positive message from a better time.
Long past, a story from another time
A distant story from the past, unrelated to the present.
Didn't last, a little like a nursery rhyme
It didn't last, resembling a short-lived nursery rhyme.
We were going fast, nothing standing in our way
We were moving quickly with no obstacles in our path.
At least it used to feel that way by the ocean
Reflecting on a time when everything felt carefree by the ocean.
We used to sit and watch the waves roll by
We used to sit and enjoy the waves together.
Then we went and hit that big time notion
Pursued a grand idea but faced challenges in the process.
But we're gonna get back there by and by
Despite setbacks, there is a plan to return to that carefree state.
Blues ain't the worst that you could ever be
Blues, while difficult, are not the worst state to be in.
Blues paint the darkness so your soul can see
Blues bring clarity to the darkness within.
Some faint reminders written on the wall
Subtle reminders on the wall from those who've moved on.
From old fellas when they left it all behind
Elders left their past behind, and I envy their liberation.
I'm jealous chasing something I can't find
Yearning for something elusive and hard to attain.
But they tell us just smile and have a ball
Society advises to smile and enjoy life despite challenges.
The way it used to be back then by the ocean
Recalling a time when life was simpler by the ocean.
We used to sit and watch the waves roll by
Revisiting moments of peaceful wave-watching.
Then we went and hit that big time notion
Despite setbacks, the desire to achieve something significant remains.
But we're gonna get back there by and by
Optimistic about returning to that tranquil state in the future.
Now I'm waiting for the sun to hit the hill
Waiting for a positive change, symbolized by the sun hitting the hill.
Light fading, the shadow on the window sill
As daylight fades, shadows create the only drama in the day.
Creating the only drama in my day
The only noteworthy event is resetting thoughts and emotions.
Resetting every channel in my brain
Clearing mental clutter for a fresh perspective.
And letting every rider in the rain
Allowing everyone, even those in the rain, to find peace outside of chaos.
Come home and rest outside the fray
Finding solace away from the troubles.
The way it used to be back then by the ocean
Reflecting on the past, recalling serene times by the ocean.
We used to sit and watch the waves roll by
Nostalgic moments of watching waves together.
Then we went and hit that big time notion
Despite challenges, aiming to achieve significant goals.
But we're gonna get back there by and by
Remaining hopeful about returning to a carefree state in the future.
Yeah we're gonna get back there by and by
Confidently asserting the eventual return to a better place.
Yeah we're gonna get back there by and by
Reiterating the belief in returning to a positive and carefree state in the future.
