So Soon We Change
Evolving Emotions: Reflections on Changing Relationships
Lyrics
Seems like only yesterday
Reflecting on the past, expressing surprise at the passage of time.
We were laughing like a couple of kids
Recalling joyful moments shared, reminiscent of carefree childhood.
Fun we had when first met
Nostalgic about the initial excitement and fun in the relationship.
Ain't been around much since
Indicating a decrease in time spent together recently.
Sharing every hour every day
Highlighting the past closeness, with shared moments every day.
Funny how time slips away
Commenting on the swift passage of time and its effects.
But there's no replacement, baby
Stating that there's no substitute for the good times that have faded.
When the good times fade away
Acknowledging the inevitable fading of enjoyable moments.
Oh how soon we changed
Expressing surprise or regret at the quick transformation of the relationship.
Oh how soon we changed
Reiterating the sentiment of rapid and unexpected change.
Funny how soon we change
Highlighting the irony and swiftness of transformation.
Oh how soon we changed
Repeating the theme of unexpected and rapid change in the relationship.
You remember Casey's bar
Recalling specific places that hold memories in the relationship.
And Maxfields after dark
Referencing locations associated with shared experiences in the past.
We were different people then
Describing a time when the couple felt united and inseparable.
Inseparable never apart
Emphasizing the close bond that once existed between the two.
But now the novelty is wearing thin
Noting a shift in the relationship, with the initial excitement fading.
We spend most time arguing
Indicating a change in dynamics, with more time spent arguing.
It was all so easy then
Reflecting on the simplicity and ease of the relationship in the past.
It'll never be again
Expressing the impossibility of returning to the carefree past.
Oh how soon we changed
Reiterating the surprise or regret at the rapid transformation.
Oh how soon we changed
Emphasizing the unexpected and swift nature of the relationship change.
Oh how soon we changed
Continuing to express surprise or regret at the quick transformation.
Oh how soon we changed
Repeating the theme of rapid and unexpected change in the relationship.
I thought I knew you inside out
Expressing a belief in understanding the partner completely in the past.
But obviously I was wrong
Acknowledging a mistake in the understanding of the partner.
Makes no difference what I say
Conveying a sense of communication breakdown and lack of compatibility.
We just don't get along
Highlighting ongoing difficulties in the relationship.
Face the facts it can never last
Accepting the inevitability of separation due to growing differences.
We're driffing apart real fast
Describing the rapid pace at which the couple is drifting apart.
I'd gladly give up everything
Expressing a willingness to sacrifice everything for a fresh start.
to start all over again
Yearning for a chance to begin the relationship anew.
Oh how soon we changed
Reiterating the surprise or regret at the rapid transformation.
Oh how soon we changed
Emphasizing the unexpected and swift nature of the relationship change.
Funny how soon we changed
Highlighting the irony and swiftness of transformation.
Oh how soon we changed
Repeating the theme of unexpected and rapid change in the relationship.
Oh how soon we changed
Reiterating the surprise or regret at the rapid transformation.
Funny how soon we changed
Highlighting the irony and swiftness of transformation.
Oh how soon we changed
Continuing to express surprise or regret at the quick transformation.
Oh how soon we changed
Concluding with a final expression of surprise or regret at the rapid change.
