Good While It Lasted
Ephemeral Love: Embracing Moments That Fade Away
Lyrics
Love doesn't die
Love doesn't completely disappear or cease to exist.
It just stops talkin'
Communication within a relationship may cease or diminish.
There's no good-bye
There's no formal farewell or explicit ending.
You just start walkin'
One begins to move on physically or emotionally.
Out into the chill of the night
Leaving the comfort of familiarity and stepping into uncertainty.
Wonderin' if your timin' was right
Doubting the correctness of the timing of actions taken.
But you still can't deny
The emotional connection remains despite circumstances.
It was good while it lasted
The relationship was fulfilling and enjoyable.
We had it all for a minute or two
They experienced happiness briefly.
And there's no other place
No other situation where dreamers can reach their potential.
Where the best that two dreamers can do
What two people envision together often proves to be unattainable.
Turns out too good to be true
Reality didn't match the idealistic expectations.
We really did it this time
Acknowledgment of a significant moment without a chance to reverse it.
There's no returning
No way to go back to the way things were.
We lit up the sky
Intense and passionate involvement leading to a dramatic end.
And went down burnin'
Ending in flames or a spectacular, intense conclusion.
If we're burned a little too bright
The intensity might have been too much.
You showed me what beautiful light
Despite the intensity, something beautiful was experienced.
You still can't deny
The undeniable positive aspects of the relationship.
It was good while it lasted
The joy and completeness were temporary.
We had it all for a minute or two
A brief period of having everything they desired.
And there's no other place where the best of two dreamers can do
No alternative scenario where their dreams could come true.
Turns out too good to be true
The idealized situation turned out to be unrealistic.
There's a star (up above the world so bright)
A metaphorical reference to hope or a guiding light.
Fallin' fast (will we ever get it right)
The struggle to find the right path or solution.
Make a wish (wish I may I wish I might)
A desire for something unattainable, like a wish.
Have you back again for one more night
Yearning to reunite for a brief moment.
It was good while it lasted
Reiterating the transient joy and completeness.
We had it all for a minute or two
The temporary nature of their happiness.
And there's no other place where the best of two dreamers can do
No alternate circumstance where their dreams could materialize.
Turns out too good to be true
The dream scenario was too perfect to be real.
Too good to be true
The situation was incredibly ideal but ultimately unrealistic.
