Too Soon
Memories of a Beloved Companion
Lyrics
It'll be six weeks on Saturday
Reflecting on the passage of time since a significant event, likely a loss.
Since we laid you down in that grave
Mourning the burial of someone dear, emphasizing the gravity of the situation.
Under that oak tree
Noting the location of the burial under an oak tree, possibly a symbolic or meaningful place.
Livin' without you's a living Hell
Expressing the emotional pain of living without the departed person.
You've been my best friend since I was twelve
Acknowledging a long-standing close relationship with the departed, dating back to childhood.
And now it's just me
Conveying the loneliness and emptiness felt after the loss.
And I still get calls about you
Receiving reminders about the departed person, possibly from friends or family.
Remindin' me of all that we've been through
Recalling shared experiences and memories with the departed.
I miss those Friday nights out on the farm
Nostalgia for enjoyable Friday nights spent on the farm with the departed.
The bonfire lights underneath the stars
Revisiting memories of bonfires and starlit nights with friends.
With the other boys howlin' at the moon
Remembering the camaraderie with friends, likened to howling at the moon.
I can't do Saturday's down by the lake
Unable to enjoy Saturdays by the lake, possibly a shared activity with the departed.
Cause our memories can't be replaced
Emphasizing the irreplaceable nature of shared memories.
And it don't feel the same without you
Expressing the emotional void and emptiness felt without the departed.
I guess what everybody says is true
Acknowledging the truth in the common saying that good things end too soon.
That good dogs die too soon
Reflecting on the premature death of a beloved pet, likened to the saying.
Your collar still hangs by my front door
Noting the presence of reminders, like a collar, at home.
Your chew toys laid out in the floor
Seeing the departed's belongings, emphasizing the difficulty of moving on.
I can't put 'em away
Struggling to put away items associated with the departed.
My bed's still covered in your hair
Keeping the departed's hair on the bed for a sense of presence.
To make it feel like you're still there
Creating a tangible connection to the departed through personal items.
Even though you ain't
Highlighting the emotional struggle of accepting the absence of the departed.
And I still get calls about you
Continuing to receive painful reminders of the departed.
Remindin' me of what I can't get through
Reiterating the difficulty of overcoming the grief and moving forward.
I miss those Friday nights out on the farm
Nostalgia for past enjoyable experiences on the farm.
The bonfire lights underneath the stars
Recalling the warmth of bonfires and the beauty of starlit nights.
With the other boys howlin' at the moon
Revisiting the camaraderie with friends and shared moments under the moon.
I can't do Saturday's down by the lake
Expressing the difficulty of enjoying certain days without the departed.
Cause our memories can't be replaced
Stressing the irreplaceable nature of shared memories, particularly by the lake.
And it don't feel the same without you
Reiterating the sense of emptiness and difference without the departed.
I guess what everybody says is true
Acknowledging the truth in the saying that good things end prematurely.
That good dogs die too soon
Reiterating the theme of the premature loss of a beloved companion.
I miss those Friday nights out on the farm
Nostalgia for past enjoyable experiences, emphasizing the longing for the departed.
I swear that I can still hear your bark and you
Hallucinating or imagining the continued presence of the departed, even hearing their bark.
Howlin' with the other boys at the moon
Revisiting memories of shared moments with friends and howling at the moon.
I can't do Saturday's down by the lake
Expressing the difficulty of enjoying Saturdays without the departed.
Cause our memories can't be replaced
Emphasizing the irreplaceable nature of memories shared by the lake.
And it don't feel the same without you
Conveying the continued sense of emptiness and difference without the departed.
And buddy I sure do miss you
Expressing deep longing and missing the departed, using the term "buddy."
Cause good dogs die too soon
Reiterating the theme that good things, including beloved pets, end too soon.
Yeah good dogs die too soon
Finalizing the sentiment that good dogs, like the one lost, pass away prematurely.
