The One with the Mask
Reflective Melancholy: Pondering Lost Connections
Lyrics
Hey to you
Greeting to someone
You're the one with the mask that I could never get through
Addressing someone who wears a metaphorical mask, suggesting emotional barriers
Hey my friend
Greeting to a friend
It's been too many years
Acknowledging a long period of time
Will I ever see you again
Expressing uncertainty about seeing the person again
I've been thinking bout that fourth of July
Reflecting on a specific memory (Fourth of July)
Fireworks from the roof
Recalling fireworks and a shared experience
I saw you smile in the moonlight burning bright but
Noting a moment of joy but hesitating to act
I was too scared to move
Expressing fear or hesitation
I wonder
Pondering thoughts about the person
Do you ever think about me
Questioning if the person thinks about the speaker
Do I ever cross your mind
Wondering if the speaker is on the person's mind
Do you ever wonder what would happen if we could go back in time
Contemplating what could happen if they could revisit the past
Would you press rewind
Asking if the person would want to go back in time
And hey to you
Greeting to someone with emotional walls
You're the one with the wall that I could never get through
Referencing difficulties in breaking through emotional barriers
Oh and hey my dear
Greeting with affection
I've been lost in what it'd be like if you were here
Imagining a scenario with the person present
I remember when we first met sunset
Recalling the first meeting at sunset
I played that concert for you
Recalling a concert played for the person
You threw your hands up in the middle of the crowd and you
Describing a moment of connection through music
Let the music move you
Emphasizing the impact of music on the person
I wonder
Repeating thoughts about the person
Do you ever think about me
Continuing to wonder if the person thinks about the speaker
Do I ever cross your mind
Reiterating the question of being on the person's mind
Do you ever wonder what would happen if we could go back in time
Repeating contemplation about revisiting the past
Do you ever think about me
Repeating the question of the person's thoughts
Do I ever cross your mind
Reiterating the inquiry about being on the person's mind
Do you ever wonder what would happen if we could go back in time
Repeating the contemplation of going back in time
Would you press rewind
Repeating the question of rewinding time
Do you ever think about me
Continuing to ask if the person thinks about the speaker
Do I ever cross your mind
Reiterating the question of being on the person's mind
Do you ever wonder what would happen if we could go back in time
Repeating contemplation about revisiting the past
Go back, let's go back
Expressing a desire to go back in time
Do you ever think about me
Reiterating the question of the person's thoughts
Do I ever cross your mind
Reiterating the inquiry about being on the person's mind
Do you ever wonder what would happen if we could go back in time
Repeating the contemplation of going back in time
Do you ever think about me
Repeating the question of the person's thoughts
Do I ever cross your mind
Reiterating the inquiry about being on the person's mind
Do you ever wonder what would happen if we could go back in time
Repeating the contemplation of going back in time
Would you press rewind
Repeating the question of rewinding time
