Lyrics
You know, I can't forget what I saw the last
Recollecting a vivid memory that's hard to forget
The bright red dress and the yellow sash
Remembering specific details - a dress and sash
The cold blew in with the past the day
Associating the memory with a cold, distant past
I left my body and never came back
An experience where the singer felt disconnected from reality
Was in my tenth grade year when I lost my love
Reflecting on a past heartbreak
She told me that she'd had enough
Recalling the moment the singer's partner ended the relationship
The cold blew in and it burned the day
Feeling emotionally wounded and affected by the breakup
I left my body and never returned
Emphasizing the feeling of detachment from oneself
Left my body and never returned
Reiterating the emotional detachment experienced
And you watch your baby become a lady
Observing a daughter's growth into womanhood
Then you cry but maybe then
Expressing mixed emotions, likely sadness
You'll get a chance again
Hope for another opportunity in the future
I brought an open heart and a big bouquet
Arriving with genuine intentions and a thoughtful gesture
The perfect gift for a summer day
Describing a well-thought-out gift for someone special
You never know when you'll become a man
Reflecting on the uncertainty of growing up and maturing
I left that flower and never came back
Leaving something meaningful behind and not returning
Left that flower and never came back
Reiterating leaving without coming back
And you watch your baby become a lady
Observing a daughter's transition into adulthood again
And you cry but maybe then
Repeating the emotional reaction of crying
You'll get a chance again
Hope for a future chance or redemption
And you watch your baby become a lady
Repeating the observation of a daughter's growth
And you cry but maybe
Continuation of emotional response, crying
She'll get a chance to save me
Hope that the daughter might help or rescue the singer
In the time she kissed me
A significant moment shared, becoming part of history
She became my history
Regret over losing the chance and longing for another
I would kill to try again
Expressing the desire to redo past mistakes
I'll get a chance again
Anticipation for a future opportunity
