A Lot Like Charles
Journey Beyond Goodbyes: Street Noise's A Lot Like Charles
Lyrics
How is it there
Expressing curiosity or inquiry about a distant place.
Maybe I could find you
Suggesting a desire to locate or connect with someone.
Stepping over county lines
Physically crossing geographical boundaries.
Moving past the road signs
Progressing beyond the markers indicating directions or locations.
I wish I knew what I was thinking
Reflecting uncertainty or confusion about one's thoughts.
Wasting time and idle breathing
Indicating unproductive use of time and passive breathing.
Fall in line keep on repeating
Conforming to a routine, possibly monotonous, and repetitive.
Those same thoughts about us leaving
Recurring contemplation about departing or breaking away.
I'm so done with all these bleeding
Expressing frustration or exhaustion with emotional wounds.
Patch me up derive some meaning
Seeking healing and deriving meaning from past experiences.
Past this time it's all so fleeting
Highlighting the fleeting nature of time and moments.
This time I'll stay gone
Committing to a decision to remain absent or distant this time.
How can I keep myself from shaking
Struggling to control physical tremors or emotional instability.
Yelling through the phone you always
Describing a persistent attempt to lure someone back.
Find a way to get me to come and stay
Acknowledging difficulty resisting the call to return.
Running away from all my problems
Escaping from challenges or difficulties.
Shouting into my pillow will you
Expressing emotions loudly and seeking comfort in solitude.
Find a way to stay away
Desiring to avoid returning to a certain situation.
Hope you'll be
Expressing hope for someone's presence during a crucial decision.
There when I decide
Anticipating the need for support when deciding to part ways.
To say goodbye
Preparation for bidding farewell.
Goodbye
Repeated emphasis on the act of saying goodbye.
Goodbye
-Goodbye
-Colors blending on the mountainside
Observing a picturesque scene with merging colors on a mountainside.
I swear I saw it in those eyes
Recalling a shared experience or emotion in someone's eyes.
I'm getting gone from here tonight
Determined decision to leave the current place.
I'm getting out of here
Confirming the intention to depart from the current situation.
Set on the view I'm seeing
Focused on the specific scene and perspective being witnessed.
Dark and early in the morning
Describing the early morning with a dark and heavy atmosphere.
Eyes hang low and stomach screaming
Physical and emotional distress, seeking internal healing.
Go inside and find some healing
Entering a space to find solace and recovery.
Native eyes and smiles gleaming
Noting positive qualities in the people observed.
Rest just long enough so feelings
Resting briefly to allow emotions to settle and gain deeper understanding.
Flows into a deeper meaning
Transitioning into a state where experiences hold greater significance.
Ill run away (So far away)
Expressing a strong desire to distance oneself.
How can I keep myself from shaking
Reiterating the challenge of emotional instability.
Yelling through the phone you always
Receiving persistent calls to return, possibly from someone close.
Find a way to get me to come and stay
Acknowledging the difficulty in resisting the call to stay.
Running away from all my problems
Escaping from personal challenges or issues.
Shouting into my pillow will you
Expressing emotions into a personal space for relief.
Find a way to stay away
Desiring to find a way to remain detached from certain situations.
I'm leaving you today
Deciding to leave a significant relationship or situation.
(I'm leaving you today)
Reiterating the firmness and finality of the decision to leave.
There just no other way
Emphasizing the absence of alternative options.
(Im leaving you today)
Reiterating the decision to part ways today.
Today
Underlining the immediacy and finality of the departure.
