Back Where We Started
Embracing Seasons of Love: Back Where We Started
Lyrics
It's cold when it's October here
Describing the coldness of October, setting the scene for a separation.
So I guess I won't see you
Expressing doubt about meeting someone at the speaker's birthday celebration.
At my birthday this year
Anticipating the absence of a loved one at the speaker's birthday this year.
And who'd have thought a love like that
Reflecting on a love that unexpectedly fades away with the arrival of winter.
Would wither and wash out
Highlighting the perishable nature of the once strong love.
As winter pulls near
Connecting the decline of love with the approach of winter.
I'm not gonna cry about it no
Choosing not to express sorrow over the situation.
I'm just gonna lie about it
Opting to deceive oneself or others about the emotional impact of the separation.
Your laughter filling my sails
Recalling the joyous sound of the loved one's laughter as a positive memory.
As in fall the golden leaf must
Using the metaphor of a golden leaf succumbing to the wind, symbolizing the inevitability of change.
Give in to the winds
Conveying the idea that love, like a falling leaf, must yield to external forces.
This here tale of love is somehow
Suggesting that the love story is destined to conclude where it originated.
Meant to end where it begins
Emphasizing the cyclical nature of love, returning to its starting point.
So back where we started
Expressing a desire to return to the initial stage of the relationship and suggesting acceptance of the situation.
Back where we started
-And why don't we just leave it no
-Not broken hearted
-Just back where we started
-And why don't we just leave it at that
-The summer asked no questions and the wind
Commenting on the seasons and nature as unreliable, implying that relying on external factors can lead to regret.
Found no excuse to abridge our story over
-And nature is a faithless friend and counting
-On her favours will make you sorry (yeah)
-I'm not gonna cry about you
Asserting emotional strength and a decision not to cry over the separation.
It's not like I'll die without you
Indicating that life will go on even without the presence of the loved one.
Your laughter filling my sails
Recalling the positive impact of the loved one's laughter on the speaker's spirit.
As in fall the golden leaf must
Reiterating the metaphor of a golden leaf and emphasizing the predetermined end of the love story.
Give in to the winds
-This here tale of love is somehow
-Meant to end where it begins
-So back where we started
Echoing the sentiment of returning to the beginning and proposing leaving the situation without heartbreak.
Back where we started
-And why don't we just leave it no
-Not broken hearted
-Just back where we started
-And why don't we just leave it at that
