We're Glad To Have You
Embracing New Beginnings: Weaving Love and Loss in Thomas Flynn's Melody
Lyrics
Two new arms hang from her heart
Symbolic imagery of emotional growth with "new arms" emerging from the heart.
A yellow glow, you're the sun
Describing a person as a positive force, radiating warmth and brightness like the sun.
Her sisters cry into their shirts
Depicting emotional distress among siblings, possibly in response to a significant event.
And forget to pay the meter
Suggesting a lapse in attention or care, possibly due to emotional upheaval.
Welcome to the world
Welcoming someone to existence or a new phase of life.
We're glad to have
Expressing joy or contentment with the arrival of someone new.
You
Repeated expressions of welcome and gladness for the individual.
You
-You
-You
-It's been a year since they said goodbye
Reflecting on the passage of time since a farewell and potential impact on someone named Jane.
Jane thought he was the glue
Highlighting the perceived importance of an individual (he) named Jane in holding things together.
He grew up quick and came down sick
Describing a rapid maturation process and subsequent illness in the same individual.
So the skateboard stayed inside
Noting a change in activities, with a skateboard being left aside, possibly due to illness.
Now in your eyes, we recognize that old shade of blue
Recognizing a familiar emotional state (old shade of blue) in the eyes of the newcomer.
Welcome to the world
Reiterating the welcoming sentiment to the new individual.
We're glad to have
Continued expressions of joy and appreciation for the presence of the newcomer.
You
-You
-You
-You
Final repetition of the welcoming sentiment.
