Borrowed Time
Unveiling Love's Departure: Tom Martin's Melancholic Journey
Lyrics
Well, did you know
Expressing surprise or seeking confirmation of knowledge
That I was one of those you left behind
Acknowledging being one of those abandoned or left behind
You were up and gone
Noticing the sudden departure of someone
Without a goodbye
Highlighting the absence of a farewell
They all said
Referring to common opinions about the person who left
That you were not the kind to stick around
Indicating a perception that the person wasn't inclined to stay
I only wish I'd known
Expressing regret for not being aware that it was time to part
That it was time
Suggesting a realization that a significant moment had arrived
The evenings on the highway
Describing moments spent on the highway during the evening
Coming down to be with you
Anticipating meeting the person
I couldn't wait to eat
Excitement about enjoying a homemade meal
Your home-cooked meal
Expressing impatience for the awaited reunion
At nighttime in the moonlight
Describing a romantic scene under the moonlight
Wrapped alone inside your arms
Feeling comforted within the person's embrace
I guess it doesn't mean much how I feel
Reflecting on the apparent insignificance of emotions
Summer days
Evoking memories of warm and pleasant summer days
When the wind blows warm
Highlighting the positive atmosphere during windy days
And the skies turn blue
Noting the change in the sky's color
I'll miss you
Expressing a sense of loss or longing
And all the while
Emphasizing the realization of being on borrowed time
I was on borrowed time
Acceptance of limited time without concern
But I didn't mind
Indicating contentment despite the awareness of limited time
I thought that you were mine
Assuming possession of the person
Well, I put all my confidence
Depositing trust in the words spoken by the person
Inside the words you spoke
Highlighting the significance of the spoken words
Words that seemed to make the world
Attributing security to the words spoken by the person
Seem so secure
Reflecting on the sense of security created by words
But when you up and left me here
Expressing the impact of being left alone
All by myself
Conveying the feeling of solitude
I knew there wasn't much
Acknowledging the limited knowledge about the situation
I knew for sure
Emphasizing the uncertainty of the circumstances
Well, the world's so damn confusing
Describing the world as confusing and harsh
So thoughtless and abusing
Expressing displeasure with the world's nature
And I can't stand the thought of losing you
Declaring an aversion to the thought of losing the person
And I guess it's not the season
Recognizing the inappropriateness of the current situation
For doing things for reasons
Commenting on the absence of reasonable actions
Walking out ain't a pleasing thing to do
Expressing dissatisfaction with the act of leaving
Summer days
Revisiting the pleasant memories of summer days
When the wind blows warm
Recalling the warmth of the wind during summer
And the skies turn blue
Referring to the change in the sky's color during summer
I'll miss you
Expressing the feeling of missing the person
And all the while
Reiterating the realization of being on borrowed time
I was on borrowed time
Acceptance of limited time without concern (repeated)
But I didn't mind
Indicating contentment despite the awareness of limited time (repeated)
'Cause I thought that you were mine
Assuming possession of the person (repeated)
