Your Hair in the Rain
Nostalgic Reflections: Finding Happiness in Memories
Lyrics
I dreamed that I detached
I had a dream where I disconnected or distanced myself.
Ditched the track record
Abandoned my past achievements or history.
And started from scratch on the west coast
Started anew on the west coast.
And threw away my winter coat
Got rid of my protective layer or barrier.
'Cause your laugh was my favorite song back when
Your laughter was my favorite memory when...
We drove aimlessly around the town we grew up in
We aimlessly drove around our hometown.
Spoke of ourselves, love, and god
We talked about ourselves, love, and god.
And all the other things we no longer believed in
We discussed things we no longer believe in.
What can I say about the state I'm in?
Expressing uncertainty about the current situation.
Stuck in a cheap imitation of some life that I once lived
Feeling trapped in a poor imitation of a past life.
Is it wrong to wonder if I'm someone you still miss?
Questioning if the person still misses the speaker.
Happiness was your your hair in the rain
Associating happiness with the image of your hair in the rain.
Now everything's different yet somehow always unchanging
Everything has changed but remains consistently unchanged.
And I feel that specific sense of non-specific dread
Experiencing a vague sense of anxiety.
When I ponder intention and how outcome diverges
Reflecting on the discrepancy between intention and outcome.
What can I say about the state I'm in?
Reiterating uncertainty about the current state.
Cracking under pressure, reduced to liquid
Feeling overwhelmed and breaking down.
Happiness was my shoulder under your head
Recalling happiness when providing support under your head.
It was waking up drowsy and sore with you in a dorm bed
Remembering waking up together in a dorm bed.
Happiness was your your hair in the rain
Repeating the association of happiness with your hair in the rain.
Now everything's different yet somehow always unchanging
Describing the paradox of everything changing yet staying the same.
And I feel that specific sense of non-specific dread
Reiterating the sense of non-specific anxiety.
When I ponder intention and how outcome diverges
Reflecting on the uncertainty of outcomes based on intentions.
I wonder how the hell I will emerge from this
Expressing curiosity about emerging from a challenging situation.
(And how the hell will I emerge from this?)
(Repeating the question about emerging from the situation.)
Happiness was your your hair in the rain
Recalling happiness linked to your hair in the rain.
(Happiness was your hair in the rain)
(Repeating the sentiment about happiness and rain.)
Now everything's different yet somehow always unchanging
Highlighting the paradox of constant change and sameness.
And I feel that specific sense of non-specific dread
Reiterating the specific sense of non-specific anxiety.
(Non-specific dread)
(Repeating the idea of non-specific dread.)
When I ponder intention and how outcome diverges
Reflecting on the consequences of intentions and divergent outcomes.
