Lyrics
Down in this hole I've been learning
Feeling trapped or stuck, undergoing a learning process
Sometimes the good lie with the bad.
Both positive and negative aspects coexist
Been chasing time with a bitter yearning
Desire mixed with pain while trying to catch up with lost time
We had it all, I want it back
Nostalgia for a past time or situation that was fulfilling
All I know is it's going
Sense of loss or change happening
And I don't feel right in my skin
Feeling uncomfortable or out of place
The color of the clothes I'm wearing
External appearance doesn’t reflect forgiveness or kindness
Shows no forgiveness from shallow men
Lack of forgiveness or understanding from superficial individuals
Won't you please remember me
Pleading for someone to remember the singer
They'll be a way someday just you believe
Belief in a hopeful future despite current hardships
When you see my eyes in your dreams
Hope for a connection through dreams
You know I'm coming back
Asserting the intention to return
Coming to take you back to Tennessee
Specifically planning to return to Tennessee
All of our plans, our heart secrets
Shared plans and intimate thoughts kept private
Hide from the world passed down on me
Keeping personal aspects hidden from the world
They hold me up but if I meet Jesus
Support received but a desire to avoid a negative outcome
This Hell's the last place I want to be
Strong dislike or discomfort with the current situation
Take your love and light a candle
Request to keep hope alive or symbolically light the way
Put it high so I can see
Symbolic gesture indicating visibility or guidance
Then I'll know that you are still willing
Looking for a sign of willingness to reconcile or return
To come on home, come on home
Invitation or plea to come back home
Won't you please remember me
Repeated plea for remembrance
They'll be a way someday just you believe
Reinforcing hope for a future solution or change
When you see my eyes in your dreams
Connection through dreams as a means of reunion
You know I'm coming back
Reaffirmation of the intention to return
You know I'm coming back
Reiteration of the plan to return to Tennessee
Coming to take you back to Tennessee
Specifically mentioning returning to Tennessee
