Joanne
Lost Love Echoes: Joanne's Melancholy Tale
Lyrics
Sitting here, and all alone
Sitting alone, contemplating
Like a cold and broken stone
Feeling emotionally cold and shattered
I'm dreaming of touching you
Longing for physical connection and intimacy
Silent now, an empty page
A moment of quiet reflection, a blank slate
Colder than the ???? age
Colder than an unspecified age, possibly referencing a distant past
Above now is where we'll be
Above, symbolizing a higher or better place
Oh Joanne, you're not with me
Expressing the absence of Joanne
Through the turning of a wheel
Life's changes represented as a turning wheel
Turning more and more until
Continual change until realization hits
You realise it's come too soon
Realizing that something important has ended prematurely
Surely there is still a way
Believing there might still be a solution
If we believe in yesterday
Referencing a belief in the past, perhaps happier times
Oh Joanne, if you would try
Encouraging Joanne to make an effort
Oh Joanne, don't pass me by
Pleading with Joanne not to ignore
Think of all the friends we had
Recalling past friendships and their unnoticed sorrows
No-one heard when they were sad
Highlighting the lack of attention to friends' sadness
To lose us as I lost you
Regret over losing Joanne as a friend
If you ever change your mind
Expressing readiness to reconcile if Joanne changes her mind
I'll be here, don't look behind
Waiting for Joanne without dwelling on the past
Oh Joanne, I love you still
Declaring continued love for Joanne
Oh Joanne, I love you still
Repeated declaration of love for emphasis
Think of all the friends we had
Recalling past friendships and their unnoticed sorrows (repeated)
No-one heard when they were sad
Highlighting the lack of attention to friends' sadness (repeated)
To lose us as I lost you
Regret over losing Joanne as a friend (repeated)
If you ever change your mind
Expressing readiness to reconcile if Joanne changes her mind (repeated)
I'll be here, don't look behind
Waiting for Joanne without dwelling on the past (repeated)
Oh Joanne, I love you still
Declaring continued love for Joanne (repeated)
Oh Joanne, I love you still
Repeated declaration of love for emphasis (repeated)
Sitting here, and all alone
Sitting alone, contemplating (repeated)
Like a cold and broken stone
Feeling emotionally cold and shattered (repeated)
I'm dreaming of touching you
Longing for physical connection and intimacy (repeated)
Oh Joanne, I love you still.
Final declaration of love for Joanne
