Light Years
Chasing Shadows: A Journey Through Lost Moments
Lyrics
You were waiting outside for me in the sun
Waiting for someone in a positive setting, perhaps anticipating an encounter.
Laying down to soak it all in before we had to run
Taking a moment to appreciate the present before facing responsibilities.
I was always ten feet behind you from the start
Consistently lagging behind, possibly indicating a sense of distance or detachment.
Didn't know you were gone 'til we were in the car
Realizing a departure only after the journey has begun, suggesting a lack of awareness.
Oh, the glory of it all was lost on me
An acknowledgment of not recognizing the significance or beauty of a situation.
'Til I saw how hard it'd be to reach you
Realization of the difficulty in connecting or reaching the person or goal.
And I would always be light years, light years away from you
Expressing a vast emotional or physical distance from the subject.
Light years, light years away from you
Reinforcing the idea of being far away, emphasizing the emotional or physical gap.
I thought I saw your mother last weekend in the park
Perceiving someone who may be the person of interest, adding uncertainty.
It could've been anybody, it was after dark
Highlighting the potential for mistaken identity or confusion in perception.
Everyone was lighting up in the shadows alone
Observing others engaging in activities, possibly feeling disconnected from them.
You could've been right there next to me, and I'd have never known
Reflecting on the possibility of the person being present without realization.
Oh, the glory of it all was lost on me
Reiteration of not grasping the true value or significance of experiences.
'Til I saw how hard it'd be to reach you
Understanding the challenges in reaching the person or achieving a goal.
And I would always be light years, light years away from you
Affirming the perpetual emotional or physical distance from the subject.
Light years, light years away from you
Repeating the theme of being distant, underscoring the enduring gap.
Light years, light years away from you
Emphasizing the continued, significant distance from the person or goal.
Light years, light years away from you
Reiterating the enduring and vast separation from the subject.
