Making Friends With Gone
Embracing Change: Finding Light in the Shadows
Lyrics
At dawn's first blue light
Contemplating the early morning, symbolized by dawn's blue light.
You open your eyes
The act of waking up and facing a new day.
And think how do I get through one more day
Expressing the challenge of enduring another day.
Feet on the floor
Beginning the day with a routine, putting feet on the floor.
Like every day before
Highlighting the monotony of daily life.
Ever since your world forever changed
Reflecting on a life-altering event that changed everything.
You try to write a letter
Attempting to articulate the reasons for a relationship's downfall.
Of what went wrong, and what was good
Reviewing both the negative and positive aspects of the past.
That I'd have loved you better if I could
Expressing a desire to have loved more effectively in hindsight.
You know I would
Affirming the genuine intent to love better if possible.
The life of your dreams
Acknowledging the loss of a dream life or idealized future.
Has lost you it seems
Suggesting a disconnect from the dream life over the years.
You didn't hear it leave as the years went by
Not realizing the departure of the idealized life as time passed.
Her face turned away
Describing emotional distance through a turned-away face.
At the end of the day
Emphasizing unspoken or undiscovered feelings at day's end.
Thes she could not say or even find
That try as we did
Highlighting efforts to find a path in the relationship.
To find our way, misunderstood
Expressing the theme of being misinterpreted in the journey.
And I'd have loved you better if I could
Reiterating the wish to have loved more effectively in hindsight.
You know I would
Reaffirming the genuine intent to have loved better.
And oh the books with all our photographs
Referencing a collection of memories through photographed moments.
The pages turned from sweet to sad
Describing a shift in the emotional tone of captured memories.
We cannot calculate the cost
Stating the difficulty of quantifying the emotional toll of experiences.
Of all we lived and all we lost
Reflecting on the immeasurable impact of both lived and lost experiences.
As time goes by
Highlighting the continuous passage of time.
You open your eyes
Repeating the act of opening eyes, now with a sense of passing time.
See the cracks of light in another day
Finding hope or glimpses of light in the midst of everyday challenges.
Feet on the floor
Continuing the routine of starting the day with feet on the floor.
Like every day before
Emphasizing the enduring nature of life changes.
Ever since your world forever changed
Reiterating the impact of a significant, life-altering event.
