Lyrics
I left the light on for you
I kept the light on, expecting your return
Left the same paint color in your room
Your room remains unchanged with the same paint color
The same flowers grow in the front yard
The front yard still has the same flowers
I remember when you climbed the trees in our yard
Recalling when you used to climb trees in our yard
Lemon trees climbed with me
Lemon trees, a shared experience of climbing
Swimming pool, jump count on two
Memories of counting jumps into the swimming pool
Bunk bed, bumped your head
Reminiscing a bunk bed where you once bumped your head
Hardwood floors, the red door
Nostalgia for hardwood floors and a symbolic red door
I waited for you
Expressing patience and anticipation for your return
After everything we've been through
Reflecting on shared experiences and challenges
Our memories sit at the bottom of the pool
Past memories submerged, like treasures at the pool's bottom
Left behind kingdoms that we ruled
Abandoned kingdoms and shared triumphs left behind
Side by side you and I waited for you
Waiting together for your return, side by side
I still remember the harmony
Recollection of the harmonious songs once sung
Of the songs you used to sing to me (sing to me)
Longing for the melodies and connection
You left your sweater in the closet
Noticing a piece of you left behind (sweater)
I thought the pink one was your favorite
Thoughts about your favorite pink sweater
Lemontrees, left with me
Shared memories of lemon trees that remain
No more jewels at the bottom of the pool
No more hidden treasures at the pool's bottom
This bunk bed, meant nothing
Realization that the bunk bed held no significance
Old floors, new paint on the door
Transformation of old floors with new paint on the door
I waited for you
A repetition of waiting and yearning for your return
After everything we've been through
Reflection on shared experiences and challenges
Our memories sit at the bottom of the pool
Past memories still submerged at the pool's bottom
Left behind kingdoms that we ruled
Abandoned kingdoms and shared triumphs linger
Side by side you and I waited for you
Continuing to wait together for your return, side by side
You recognized me even with my new color
Recognition despite personal transformations
Oh your eyes, you look so much like your mother
Comparing physical resemblance to a parent
Brought someone new, who's just like you, just like you
Introduction of someone new who resembles you
Old friend all this time
An acknowledgment of an old friend's enduring presence
In all the faces do you remember mine
Reflecting on whether recognition remains in various faces
You have changed and so have I
Acknowledging personal and mutual changes over time
Won't you please come inside
An invitation to come inside, possibly seeking reconciliation
I waited for you
Continued patience and anticipation for your return
After everything we've been through
Reflecting on enduring shared experiences and challenges
I still waited for you
Persistent waiting for your return
