Lyrics
Sun is going down
The day is ending
Backs are to the ground
People are sitting or lying down
Mid November
Refers to the time of the year
From your castle in the trees
Addressing someone in a high place, metaphorically a castle
Hear you call to me
The person in the castle is calling out
I remember
Recollection of past events
Oh the things we miss
Reflecting on missed opportunities or experiences
With grass stains on our shins
Recalling activities causing grass stains on the legs
Do you have to go? Do you have to go? Tell me, do ya?
Questioning if the person has to leave
You don't wanna go? You don't wanna go? Tell me, do ya?
Asking if the person really doesn't want to leave
Taking turns we find
Describing a process of taking turns and searching
Seeking while we hide
Seeking while concealing
Chasing memories
Pursuing memories
Still I know the somber song
Acknowledging a sad melody associated with memories
Of the meadowlark
Mentioning a meadowlark, a bird symbolizing hope or longing
Written for me
Implying that the song is personally significant
Oh the things we find
Discovering meaningful things
When scars are left behind
Noting insights gained from past difficulties
Do you have to go? Do you have to go? Tell me, do ya?
Repeating the question about leaving
You don't wanna go? You don't wanna go? Tell me, do ya?
Reiterating the inquiry about the desire to stay
Oh the things we miss, oh the things we miss, oh the things
Emphasizing the repetition of thoughts on missed experiences
Oh the things we miss, oh the things we miss, oh the things
-Oh the things we miss, oh the things we miss, oh the things
-Oh the things we miss, oh the things we miss, oh the things
-Do you have to go? Do you have to go? Tell me, do ya?
Asking again if departure is necessary
You don't wanna go? You don't wanna go? Tell me, do ya?
Repeating the question on the willingness to stay
