Auburn Red
Auburn Red: Love's Illumination in the Dark
Lyrics
You know you caught my eye
You caught the speaker's attention.
The first time that you walked by
The initial encounter with the person was memorable.
It's like all the world's troubles standstill
Seeing the person makes the world's troubles seem insignificant.
Still in time
Time seems to pause or slow down when the person is around.
Can't seem to shake you
The speaker can't stop thinking about the person.
And after all these years
Despite the passage of time, certain feelings remain constant.
I guess some things never change
Some aspects of the speaker's emotions or situation haven't changed.
You've got me wrapped around your finger
The person has a significant influence on the speaker.
And we ain't trying to cut me loose
There is reluctance to be separated from the person.
This whole world goes dark around me
Feeling a sense of darkness or negativity when not with the person.
But I see the light when I'm with you
The person brings light and positivity into the speaker's life.
Now that we've figured it out
The relationship has been understood or defined.
I finally call you mine
The speaker now claims the person as their own.
I finally make some sense of all
Understanding and clarity have been achieved regarding past struggles.
This past lonely time
Reflecting on a lonely past but finding meaning in the present.
Now you're forever mine
Expressing a commitment to the person, claiming them forever.
And I'm forever yours
Mutual commitment, with the person also being forever claimed.
I guess some things never change
Reiteration that certain aspects of the relationship remain constant.
You've got me wrapped around your finger
Emphasizing the person's strong influence on the speaker.
And we ain't trying to cut me loose
Resistance to being separated from the person persists.
This whole world goes dark around me
Feeling a sense of darkness or negativity when not with the person (repeated).
But I see the light when I'm with you
The person continues to bring light and positivity into the speaker's life (repeated).
Summer nights
Recalling moments of intimacy during summer nights.
I held you in my arms
Physically holding the person during summer nights.
The skies turned
