The Song Remembers When
Echoes of Love and Lost Moments: The Song That Unveils Memories
Lyrics
I was standing at the counter
I was at the counter, waiting for change.
I was waiting for the change
Heard familiar music, triggering memories.
When I heard that old familiar music start
The music felt like a match igniting the soul.
It was like a lighted match had been tossed into my soul
It unleashed intense emotions in the heart.
It was like a dam had broken in my heart
Emotional barriers broke, flooding the heart.
After taking every detour
Experienced detours and losing direction.
Gettin' lost and losin track
Lost, making it challenging to find a way back.
So that even if I wanted I could not find my way back
A journey erasing memories of what could have been.
After driving out the memory
Suppressing memories of the past.
Of the way things might have been
Forgetting the potential outcomes.
After I'd forgotten all about us
Moved on and forgot about the relationship.
The song remembers when
The song brings back memories.
We were rolling through the Rocky's
Traveling through the Rocky Mountains.
We were up above the clouds
Above the clouds, a station played a significant song.
When a station out of Jackson played that song
The song matched the moment, freezing time.
And it seemed to fit the moment
Musical connection intensified the experience.
And the moment seemed to freeze
Singing along, feeling perfection in the world.
When we turned the music up and sang along
A moment of youth and love.
And there was a God in Heaven
Perceived divinity and clarity.
And the world made perfect sense
The past seemed easy to believe.
We were young and were in love
Youthful, convincing love.
And we were easy to convince
Heading towards a utopian place.
We were headed straight for Eden
Eden was within reach.
It was just around the bend
Despite forgetting, the song recalls.
And though I have forgotten all about it
The song remembers when
The song triggers memories after forgetting.
I guess something must have happened
Something happened, leading to goodbyes.
And we must have said goodbye
Parting ways, heartbreak likely.
And my heart must have been broken
Heartbreak without clear recollection.
Though I can't recall just why
Reasons for the heartbreak are fuzzy.
The song remembers when
The song retains memories of the past.
Well, for all the miles between us
Despite distance and time, not much progress.
And for all the time that's past
Time hasn't healed emotional distance.
You would think I haven't gotten very far
Little emotional growth despite the journey.
And I hope my hasty heart
Hasty heart seeking forgiveness.
Will forgive me just this once
Pause to wonder about the other's well-being.
If I stop to wonder how on earth you are
Reflecting on the past and the other's life.
But that's just a lot of water
Metaphor for past actions that can't be undone.
Underneath a bridge I burned
No benefit in retracing steps.
And there's no use in backtracing
Acknowledging irreversible choices.
Around corners I have turned
Acceptance of past decisions.
Still I guess some things we bury
Some buried things resurface naturally.
Are just bound to rise again
Unavoidable revival of buried emotions.
Yeah, and even if the whole world has forgotten
Even if the world forgets, the song remembers.
The song remembers when
