How Can We Hang On To A Dream
Chasing Shadows: Navigating Love's Illusions with Tim Hardin
Lyrics
What can I say, she's walking away
Expressing helplessness as someone important is leaving.
From what we've seen
Reflecting on shared experiences that are being abandoned.
What can I do, still loving you
Feeling powerless in the face of continued love for the departing person.
It's all a dream
Describing the emotional connection as illusory or unreal.
How can we hang on to a dream
Pondering the challenge of holding onto aspirations or hopes.
How can it, will it be, the way it seems
Questioning the feasibility and authenticity of maintaining a dream.
What can I do, she's saying we're through
Conveying the acceptance of a breakup, acknowledging the end.
With how it was
Facing the reality of the relationship's transformation.
What will I try, I still don't see why
Expressing confusion about understanding the reasons behind the partner's actions.
She says what she does
Acknowledging the partner's statements without comprehension.
How can we hang on to a dream
Reiterating the struggle to hold onto a fading dream or hope.
How can it, will it be, the way it seems
Repeating the uncertainty about the possibility of the dream becoming reality.
What can I say, she's walking away
Re-emphasizing the departure of the significant person.
From what we've seen
Recalling the shared experiences that are now in the past.
What can I do, still loving you
Expressing the ongoing love despite the separation.
It's all a dream
Characterizing the entire experience as a fleeting, unreal vision.
How can we hang on to a dream
Persisting in questioning the feasibility of holding onto the dream.
How can it, will it be, the way it seems
Repeating the uncertainty about the dream's authenticity and realization.
How can we hang on to a dream
Reiterating the central theme of grappling with the challenge of preserving a dream.
