Lyrics
Never thought I'd see the day when you would call me back
Never expected a callback from you, a surprising turn of events.
Always thought you just found new friends when you moved away
Previously assumed you made new friends after moving away.
You sound older and happy
Your voice suggests maturity and contentment.
I guess that's a good thing
Acknowledging that your newfound happiness is a positive development.
Seeing places where we used to eat late at night
Reflecting on places where shared late-night meals occurred.
I wonder if Barbara still works at the Waffle House
Wondering about the continuity of people, specifically mentioning Barbara at the Waffle House.
I don't think you would know
Doubting your knowledge of current circumstances.
So how about we go?
Suggesting a joint visit to catch up.
Always thought the mart on Thomas would never close
Believing a familiar mart on Thomas Street would endure but realizing it closed.
Turns out it's just like every dream I had years ago
Discovering that reality often differs from idealized dreams of the past.
About growing up
Reflecting on the inevitability of growing up.
And not feeling stuck
Expressing a desire to avoid feeling trapped or stagnant in adulthood.
Every time I pass your old place on Fairfield
Recalling passing by your previous residence on Fairfield Street.
I think about the night spent on sunset hill
Nostalgically remembering a night spent on sunset hill associated with that place.
I thought those times would last
Expressing an expectation that memorable times would endure.
This life just moves too fast
Acknowledging the swift pace of life and the transient nature of experiences.
And oh for once it feels right
Feeling a sense of rightness or contentment in the present moment.
