Scene Of The Crime
Echoes of Love Lost: Scene Of The Crime by Tristan Jantz
Lyrics
I'm at the scene of the crime
Referencing being in the location where something significant occurred
Place where you and I
Where both individuals engaged in mutual visual exchanges
Stole looks
Shared glances or exchanged meaningful looks
Committed three year smiles
Shared prolonged smiles over a span of three years
Felt fresh as a first date
Feelings reminiscent of the excitement of a first date
Deeper than a slice of wedding cake
Emphasizing the depth of their connection, deeper than a wedding cake slice
You looked fondant-ly on my dad puns
Appreciation of quirky humor despite its cheesiness ("dad puns")
Crowded beach town streets
Busy streets of a town with tourists
And thrifty tourist traps
Shops or places designed to attract tourists seeking bargains
They couldn't keep us out
Despite attempts, they couldn't be kept away from these places
Racing you to the back
Engaging in a playful race with the person
To steal a kiss in each store
Secretly stealing kisses in different stores
And offer to buy you anything
Willingness to buy anything for the person
With my arm around you
Expressing affection by physically being close
Swore you had everything
Belief that the person had everything they needed
Now these streets seem a shoulder width wider than before
Feeling of a changed perspective about the streets, seemingly wider
The grip of a camera's just not quite as warm
The warmth felt from holding a camera, compared to another's touch
I've gotta hand it to ya, oh
An acknowledgment or compliment to the person
I've gotta hand it to ya, oh
Reiteration of acknowledging or complimenting the person
You left a print on me
Leaving a lasting impression or impact on the speaker
They say memories get corrupted each time
Concern about the potential distortion of memories
I wanna keep this pure
Desire to maintain the purity of the memories associated with the location
Unopened wine tastes better with time
Comparison of preserving memories to aging wine
I'm at the scene of the crime
Reiteration of being in the significant location
Place where you and I
Similar to line 2, reiterating shared experiences at the location
Stole looks
Recalling shared glances or meaningful looks
Committed three year smiles
Repeated shared prolonged smiles over three years
Felt fresh as a first date
Recollection of feelings akin to a fresh, exciting first date
Deeper than a slice of wedding cake
Reiteration of the depth of their connection
You looked fondant-ly on my dad puns
Revisiting the appreciation for quirky humor despite cheesiness
Now these streets seem a shoulder width wider than before
Repetition of feeling a changed perception of the streets
The grip of a camera's just not quite as warm as your hand
Comparing the warmth of holding a camera to the warmth of the person's hand
These streets seem a shoulder width wider than before
Repetition of feeling a changed perspective of the streets' width
The grip of a camera's just not quite as warm
Reiteration of the warmth comparison between a camera and the person's touch
I've gotta hand it to ya, oh
Continued acknowledgment or compliment to the person
I've gotta hand it to ya, oh
Further emphasis on acknowledging or complimenting the person
I've gotta hand it to ya, oh
Continued emphasis on acknowledging or complimenting the person
I've gotta hand it to ya, oh
-You left a print on me
Reiteration of leaving a lasting impact or impression
