Leave This Town
Longing for Home: Vicious Summer's Emotional Journey
Lyrics
Nothing's the same
Expressing a significant change or loss.
Since you're away
Highlighting the impact of the absence of someone.
Feel's like a part of me's missing
Conveying a sense of emptiness or incompleteness.
I read your note
Referring to a written message from the absent person.
Started to choke
Describing an emotional reaction to the note.
What happened to you and me?
Questioning the state of the relationship.
Cause you're all that's left
Emphasizing the importance of the absent person.
Of California now
Linking the absent person to California, suggesting a significant connection.
If you just come home
Expressing a desire for the person to return.
We could leave this town
Suggesting a possibility of leaving the current location if the person returns.
I'm drinking whiskey like we used to
Indicating a coping mechanism (drinking) reminiscent of shared experiences.
Maybe more then I should
Acknowledging a potential excessive use of whiskey.
I called you up as a habit
Calling the person, possibly out of habit or longing.
Knowing you won't pick up
Acknowledging the expectation of no response.
Cause you're all that's left
Reiterating the importance of the absent person.
Of California now
Reconnecting the person to California, reinforcing their significance.
If you just come home
Expressing the desire for the person's return and potential relocation.
We could leave this town
Reiterating the possibility of leaving the town if the person returns.
Now I'm holding onto memories when it was you and me
Nostalgically holding onto past memories with the absent person.
Playing all the songs you showed me but these songs don't sound the same
Noting a change in the perception of shared songs without the person.
I know that you are not with me but I've got so much to say
Acknowledging the separation but expressing unspoken thoughts.
Should have told you, you meant everything
Expressing regret for not expressing the person's importance earlier.
Now I feel so ashamed
Feeling regret and shame for past actions or lack of communication.
And time got in the way
Highlighting the impact of time on the relationship.
Now I feel so ashamed
Reiterating the feeling of shame due to past actions.
And time got in the way
Emphasizing the role of time in the relationship's challenges.
Now I feel so ashamed
Repeating the theme of shame and the influence of time.
And time got in the way
Further emphasizing the impact of time on the relationship.
And time got in the way!
Repeating the idea that time has been a significant factor in the relationship.
Cause you're all that's left
Reiterating the person's importance and connection to California.
Of California now
Expressing the hope for the person's return and potential relocation.
If you just come home
Highlighting the possibility of leaving the town if the person returns.
We could leave this town
Reiterating the desire to leave the town with the person's return.
(Why did you have to go?)
Pose a question about the reason for the person's departure.
Cause you're all that's left
Reaffirming the person's significance and connection to California.
Of California now
Expressing the hope for the person's return and potential relocation.
If you just come home
Reiterating the possibility of leaving the town if the person returns.
We could leave this town
Reaffirming the desire to leave the town with the person's return.
