Echoes of Unrequited Love: Riding Through Memories

Lyrics

Remember last summer when we had the chance

Reflecting on a missed opportunity from the previous summer

To find each other, start making romance

Expressing the intention to start a romantic relationship

But it didn't come off because you found another

Not successful in the attempt due to the other person's choice

Without one hand of a clock, what good is the other?

Questioning the purpose of a relationship without mutual commitment


And I can't find no true love, oh baby, it's so hard

Struggling to find genuine love

And I still think about you every time I'm riding in my car

Recalling memories of the person while driving


So I went to the place where everybody hangs out

Visiting a popular gathering spot to understand the situation

To see what everybody was talking about

Curious about the conversations happening around

And over in a corner all alone with you

Observing the person of interest alone in a corner

Was a boy from last summer singing songs to you

Discovering that the person is being serenaded by someone else


And he can't sing like I can sing, oh, it's so hard

Asserting that the other person can't sing as well as the speaker

And I still think about you every time I'm riding in my car

Continuing to think about the person while driving


When I'm home alone I can think of other things to do

Being occupied with thoughts of the person when alone at home

But when I'm rolling in forward motion I think about only you

Associating forward motion with thoughts of the person


It's been a year and a day since I talked to you

Passing a year since last communication with the person

I don't know how I made it, but I sure have been blue

Expressing sadness and loneliness during the past year

And every time I think about what might have been

Reflecting on missed opportunities and imagining what could have been

I jump in my car and start riding again

Using driving as a coping mechanism for nostalgic thoughts


And I can't find no true love, oh baby, it's so hard

Continuing the struggle to find genuine love

And I still think about you every time I'm riding in my car

Reiterating the persistent thoughts about the person while driving
