Joshua
Navigating Love's Waves: Unveiling the Depths of Joshua's Impact
Lyrics
I had a pretty good relationship with Joshua
The speaker had a positive relationship with someone named Joshua.
But when he stopped being a good listener, I called it off
The relationship ended when Joshua stopped being a good listener, prompting the speaker to end it.
My family never quite forgave me
The speaker's family hasn't fully forgiven them for ending the relationship.
My friends, they never quite forgave me
The speaker's friends haven't fully forgiven them for ending the relationship.
After the breakup, I was drinking whiskey heavily
After the breakup, the speaker coped by heavily drinking whiskey.
And going home with every pretty girl who'd look at me
The speaker engaged in casual relationships with several women after the breakup.
There's a time for misbehaving
There was a phase of indulgence and reckless behavior.
I was swimming far beyond the point of saving
The speaker was past the point of being saved or helped.
It came over me like a wave
The speaker feels overwhelmed by a realization or experience that they don't want to be saved from.
It came over me like a wave
-Don't save me
-It came over me like a wave
-It came over me like a wave
-Don't save me
-When finally I could emerge from my depraved pit
After a period of indulgence, the speaker emerged with a clearer view of the world.
My vision of the world had shed a layer of bullshit
The speaker's perspective became more honest, shedding illusions.
Thoughts resembled cars in traffic
Thoughts became clearer and problems seemed less serious or significant.
Problems suddenly seemed slapstick
Problems appeared comical or less distressing.
And though my time with Joshua is ancient history
Though the relationship is in the past, moments of wisdom from Joshua still resonate with the speaker.
There are moments when his pearls of wisdom come to me
-My regrets are few and far between
The speaker has few regrets about the breakup and believes it was necessary for a clean break.
And though you'd think this might be one, I know the break was clean
-It came over me like a wave
Reiteration of feeling overwhelmed by an experience or realization that the speaker doesn't want help from.
It came over me like a wave
-Don't save me
-It came over me like a wave
-It came over me like a wave
-Don't save me
-What could I do?
The speaker acknowledges being in love with a "ghost," possibly referring to lingering emotions or memories of Joshua.
I knew I was in love with a ghost
-What could I do?
-I knew I was in love with a ghost
-What could I do?
-I knew I was in love with a ghost
-What could I do?
-I knew I was in love with a ghost
-What could I do?
-I knew I was in love with a ghost
-What could I do?
-I knew I was in love with a ghost
-What could I do?
-I knew I was in love with a ghost
-What could I do?
Repetition of feeling overwhelmed by an experience but now signaling a reluctance to be saved.
I knew I was in love with a ghost
-It came over me like a wave
-It came over me like a wave
-Don't save me
-It came over me like a wave
-It came over me like a wave
-Don't save me now
-It came over me like a wave, yeah
-It came over like a wave
-Don't save me now
-It came over me like a wave, yeah
-It came over me like a wave
-Don't save me
