Please Mind the Gap
Finding Home in Memories: Please Mind the Gap
Lyrics
Everytime that I see your face
Expressing the impact of seeing someone's face
It reminds me of a different place
Associating the face with memories of a different place
I wanna go back someday
Expressing a desire to return to that place in the future
Oh I know where I belong
Affirmation of knowing one's true home
Cause home is where the heart is
Defining home as where the heart is
Please just take me back someday
Expressing a plea to return home in the future
Don’t you know what it’s all about
Questioning if the listener understands the essence of the situation
A city I love is what I found
Finding love and connection in a city
Please mind the gap and don’t freak out
Advising to be cautious and composed during challenging times
When the lights go out, it’s all about you
Highlighting the importance of the person when everything else fades away
It’s all about you
Emphasizing the centrality of the person in focus
Everytime that you call my name
Describing the enduring impact of hearing one's name
Oh I swear it still feels the same
Affirming the constancy of feelings despite time passing
Let’s never forget those days
Expressing a commitment to cherish shared memories
People say your house is your home
Challenging the conventional notion that a house is a home
But it’s nothing when I’m on my own
Conveying the emptiness felt when alone in a house
That’s why I’ll take you there someday
Declaring an intention to bring the person to the speaker's home
Don’t you know what it’s all about
Reiterating the importance of understanding the situation
A city I love is what I found
Reaffirming the love and connection found in the city
Please mind the gap and don’t freak out
Repeating the advice to remain composed during challenges
When the lights go out, it’s all about you
Stating that, in difficult times, the focus is on the person
It’s all about you
Emphasizing again the centrality of the person in focus
