When You Were Mine
Chasing Shadows of Love: When You Were Mine by The Shadowboxers
Lyrics
Ooh I bet the neckless that I bought you still falls the same on your shoulder blade
The necklace I gave you still hangs the same on your shoulder blade.
I used to kiss there
I used to kiss that spot.
You know I love you know I love to watch you walk away but then you walked away
Expressing love for watching you walk away, but now you've left.
Can we get back there?
Yearning to go back to the past.
Bedroom, sheets, flowers, colored candy yeah that's you
Describing the romantic setting with bedroom, sheets, flowers, and candy, representing the person being addressed.
Let's just live in an alternate time
Suggesting the idea of living in a different time or reality.
Fly in familiar skies
Traveling through familiar experiences.
High up like
Being in a euphoric state.
When you were mine baby
Referencing a past when the person was romantically involved.
I keep hoping for one chance to try
Hoping for a chance to reconcile.
One dance that leads to tonight
Desiring a dance that leads to a romantic night.
Ending like when you were mine
Wishing for an ending reminiscent of when they were together.
Fly in familiar skies
Revisiting familiar experiences.
High up like
Being in a euphoric state, reminiscent of the past.
When you were mine baby
Reflecting on a time when the person was romantically theirs.
I can still see your shape in my covers
The memory of the person's shape lingers in the speaker's bed.
All alone on my side of the bed
Feeling lonely on one side of the bed.
Is your shape lying next to another?
Suspecting the person's shape is now with someone else.
Can we just go back to when
Expressing a desire to return to a specific time in the past.
It was Valentine's, purple wine, 1999
Referencing Valentine's Day in 1999 with purple wine.
Let's just live in an alternate time
Reiterating the desire to live in an alternate time.
Fly in familiar skies
Revisiting familiar experiences in the context of time.
High up like
Being in a euphoric state during this revisiting.
When you were mine baby
Remembering a time when the person belonged to the speaker.
I keep hoping for one chance to try
Hoping for an opportunity to reconcile.
One dance that leads to tonight
Desiring a dance that leads to a romantic night.
Ending like when you were mine
Wishing for an ending reminiscent of their past together.
Fly in familiar skies
Revisiting familiar experiences again.
High up like
Being in a euphoric state, reminiscent of the past.
When you were mine baby
Reflecting on a time when the person was romantically theirs.
I keep hoping for one chance to try
Hoping for an opportunity to reconcile.
One dance that leads to tonight
Desiring a dance that leads to a romantic night.
Ending like when you were mine
Wishing for an ending reminiscent of their past together.
Let's just live in an alternate time
Reiterating the desire to live in an alternate time.
Fly in familiar skies
Revisiting familiar experiences once more.
High up like
Being in a euphoric state during this revisiting.
When you were mine baby
Remembering a time when the person belonged to the speaker.
I keep hoping for one chance to try
Hoping for an opportunity to reconcile.
One dance that leads to tonight
Desiring a dance that leads to a romantic night.
Ending like when you were mine
Wishing for an ending reminiscent of their past together.
