Lyrics
These pictures forced a phone call I thought I'd never have
Reflects being prompted to make a call due to pictures, an unexpected situation.
These pictures forced up mem'ries of times where I would wade through
Recollection of past moments filled with nostalgia and reminiscence.
Half my life to see you, and we'd count your tips for cash
Refers to dedicating a significant part of life to meet someone and handling financial matters together.
And, you'd pull out all your stops to make sure we didn't have it bad
Describes someone going to great lengths to ensure a comfortable life for others.
So, take me back - 2002
