Echo
Echoes of Separation: Navigating the Silence in Love's Evolution
Lyrics
This feeling is strange the way that we disconnect
This feeling is odd, the way we lose connection
And I know that things change but it’s filling me with regret
Recognizing change, but feeling remorseful about it
Time did us dirty
Time has treated us unfairly
We live and we’re learning
We are experiencing life and gaining knowledge
Learning apart I guess
Learning separately, possibly in a relationship
It don’t stop the hurting or feeling the burden
Pain continues, carrying a heavy emotional load
We’re starting to play pretend
Starting to pretend, possibly in a relationship context
You never call and neither do I
Both parties are not initiating contact
Missing your voice an echo at night
Longing for the sound of the other person's voice, feeling its absence
I hear the walls and they’ve been talking, tell a story that's longer than ours is
Sensing the environment talking, telling tales longer than their own relationship
Always like this, we don’t help it
Acknowledging a recurring pattern of behavior
Acting sideways, is it selfish when we
Engaging in indirect behavior, questioning its self-centeredness
Let the space grow
Allowing distance to grow between them
Fade into an echo
Transitioning into a faint memory or mere reverberation
It’s been a while but I’m still wondering
Despite time passing, still pondering about the relationship
If we gave it our all would you let me in again
Questioning if giving their best would result in acceptance once more
Back of the bar, whiskey and sour, thinking 'bout old times
Recollecting memories at a bar, feeling emotional
Got a weight on my heart why you making this harder
Feeling emotionally burdened, questioning the other's role in this difficulty
Always like this, we don’t help it
Recognizing a recurring pattern of behavior
Acting sideways, is it selfish when we
Engaging in indirect behavior, pondering its selfishness
Let the space grow
Allowing the gap between them to expand
Fade into an echo
Transitioning into a distant, faint memory
There you go again, in my head
Thinking about the other person often
We can’t seem to cover the distance
Unable to bridge the emotional distance
If we could confess, pull the thread
If they could admit truths, they'd regret not maintaining consistency
We’ll wish that we stayed more consistent
Feeling regretful for not staying more constant in their relationship
You never call but neither do I
Both parties refrain from initiating contact
Missing your voice an echo at night
Longing for the echo of the other's voice in the silence of the night
I hear the walls and they’ve been talking, tell a story that's longer ours is
Sensing the surroundings narrating a story longer than theirs
Always like this, we don’t help it
Acknowledging the repetition of a certain behavior
Acting sideways, is it selfish when we
Engaging indirectly, questioning the selfishness of this action
Let the space grow
Letting the distance grow, leading to becoming a mere echo
Fade into an echo
Fading away into a distant, barely perceptible memory
