Long Forgotten List
Rediscovering Love: Tanner Redman's Journey Through Time
Lyrics
It's been a while since I've seen you
Expressing the duration since the speaker last saw the person addressed.
It's been a while since we've kissed
Highlighting the time elapsed since the last kiss between the speaker and the addressed person.
Through all the pain that I have come to overlook
Acknowledging past pain that has been ignored or forgiven by the speaker.
You're not the only one I've missed
Admitting that there are others the speaker has missed, suggesting a complexity in relationships.
You're not the only one I've kissed
Revealing that the speaker has kissed someone else during the separation.
It's been a while since I've known you
Reflecting on the time elapsed since the speaker first knew the addressed person.
In a way I never should've known
Expressing regret or discomfort about getting to know the addressed person in a certain way.
It's been a while since we drove a thousand miles
Recalling a journey of significant length taken with the addressed person.
Through the golden hour's glow
Describing the scenic beauty of the journey, possibly a metaphor for the relationship.
Just to make love in the snow
Recalling an intimate moment shared in a snowy setting during the journey.
It's been a while since we lied
Admitting to a past act of dishonesty.
And kept it to ourselves
Keeping the dishonesty a secret between the speaker and the addressed person.
Still today I pray
Expressing a desire or hope for salvation or redemption from a difficult situation.
That we can still be saved from Hell
Seeking salvation together with the addressed person from a perceived negative outcome.
It's been a while since I loved you
Stating the duration since the speaker last loved the addressed person.
It's been a while since we kissed
Reiterating the time passed since the last kiss, emphasizing the distance in the relationship.
It's been a while since I wrote your name
Mentioning a long-forgotten list, possibly symbolizing neglected promises or commitments.
On that long forgotten list
Linking the addressed person to a list that has been neglected or overlooked.
It's been a while since I've listened
Acknowledging a gap in listening or understanding between the speaker and the addressed person.
It's been a while since I've learned
Highlighting a period of time since the speaker last learned something significant.
It's been a while since I've seen Amazing Grace
Mentioning "Amazing Grace" and the consequence of playing with fire, suggesting potential risks in life.
Play with fire, you get burned
Emphasizing that true love requires effort and is not easily obtained.
All but true love must be earned
Repeating the theme of past dishonesty and keeping it private.
It's been a while since we lied
Reiterating the occurrence of lies in the relationship.
And kept it to ourselves
Continuing to keep past dishonesty undisclosed to others.
Still today I pray
Expressing ongoing hope for personal salvation from a negative fate.
That I can still be saved from Hell
Expressing a desire for salvation, possibly implying shared redemption with the addressed person.
It's been a while since I held you
Stating the time elapsed since the speaker last held the addressed person.
And wondered what I'd miss
Expressing curiosity about what has been missed during the separation.
It's been a while since I wrote your name
Reiterating the connection of the addressed person to a long-forgotten list.
On that long forgotten list
Symbolizing the addressed person's significance in the speaker's neglected commitments or promises.
