Lyrics
Today was a sad day
Expressing that today was a sorrowful day.
I read your name
The singer came across your name.
On an old postcard
On an aged postcard.
It said: kisses from far away
The postcard conveyed affection from a distant place.
When I last saw you
During the singer's last encounter with you.
You said let’s do this again
You expressed a desire to meet again.
But that’s like a lifetime ago
However, that seems like a distant memory now.
I never did reply
The singer never responded.
You know how life runs on by
Life swiftly moved forward, as it tends to do.
But I watch from a distance
The singer observed from afar.
Do you, too, from time to time?
Wondering if you also do the same occasionally.
And I know it’s not real I
The singer acknowledges the perceived illusion.
Just think it’s nice to see
Despite knowing it's not real, finds comfort in glimpses of your life.
Pieces of your life
Appreciating fragments of your life.
Say hi to the family
Sending regards to your family.
It’s a little bit funny
Expressing a feeling of peculiarity.
They were playing your song today
Someone played a song associated with you today.
Growing up on the same street
Recalling growing up in the same neighborhood.
Sharing our youth and our dreams
Sharing youthful experiences and aspirations.
Oh we had big plans
We had grand plans.
Of seeing the world and leaving Dublin
Dreaming of exploring the world beyond Dublin.
And we got what we wanted
We achieved our desires.
Just not like how we imagined
However, reality didn't match our envisioned outcomes.
Cause you’re half a world away
Physical distance separates us now.
And i, I’m in berlin
You are far away while I'm in Berlin.
It’s a little bit funny
Expressing a sense of peculiarity again.
They were playing your song today
A song associated with you was heard today.
