You're Home Now
Eternal Remembrance: Embracing Love Beyond Goodbye
Lyrics
The time flies by
The speaker reflects on the swift passage of time.
Looking up to the stars in the sky
Gazing at the stars, contemplating the vastness of the sky.
I wonder what it would be like
The speaker wonders about the experience of having a loved one still present.
If you were still here by my side
The speaker imagines how life would be if the person were still beside them.
Well I never got a chance to say goodbye
Expressing regret for not having the opportunity to bid farewell.
And on the outside I seem alright
Externally appearing okay, while internally struggling.
But inside, none of this is fine
Internal turmoil despite outward composure.
There's a picture of us all together
A photograph symbolizing a shared past.
A moment in time when we took our youth for granted
Recalling a moment when youth was taken for granted.
The time flies by
Reiteration of the rapid passage of time.
Looking up to the stars in the sky
Continued contemplation of the vastness represented by the stars.
I wonder what it would be like
Reiteration of the speaker's curiosity about an alternate reality with the loved one.
If you were still here by my side
The desire for the person to still be present in the speaker's life.
I will never fully be at peace knowing that you had so much, so much more to live for
Expressing unease at the thought that the departed had unrealized potential.
But I'll keep telling your story and
A commitment to keeping the memory of the departed alive by sharing their story.
Making my own so that we can talk about everything you should have known
Creating personal experiences to imagine conversations with the departed about missed opportunities.
You're gone now
Acknowledging the departure of the loved one.
Home at last
The departed has found peace and is finally at home.
You're Home Now
Reiteration of the idea that the departed is now at home.
You're Home Now
Reassurance and emphasis on the idea that the departed is now at home.
You're Home Now
Continued emphasis on the departed being at home.
You're Home Now
Final repetition and affirmation that the departed is now at home.
