Lyrics
Oh the days when you
Reflecting on past days
Lifted me over your head
Nostalgia for being lifted, possibly metaphorical
Tell me why we can't
Questioning the inability to be together
Be there instead
Desire to share moments together
What a day for a talk
Optimal time for a conversation
Skipping stones on the dock
Recalling simple pleasures like skipping stones
Double dares on a walk
Cherishing playful challenges during a stroll
Do you still play?
Asking if the person still engages in certain activities
I'm so glad that you're here
Expressing joy for the person's presence
It's been too many years
Acknowledging the passage of a considerable time
Let me speak in your ear
Requesting guidance or advice
So I
Introducing personal reflection
Can know which way to go
Seeking direction in life
I remember how
Recollection of the person leaving in 2004
You left town in '04
Questioning the reason for departure
Was it all because
Exploring the possibility of detachment
You wanted none of us anymore?
Wondering if the departure was intentional
There's still so much to see
Emphasizing the abundance of experiences ahead
Biking down every street
Enthusiasm for exploring every street
Double daring me
Recalling shared daring experiences
It's all the same
Expressing a sense of familiarity
I'm so glad that you're here
Reiterating happiness about the person's presence
It's been too many years
Acknowledging the time that has passed
Let me speak in your ear
Requesting close communication
So I
Reiterating the need for guidance
Can know which way to go
Continued search for direction in life
Every house we pass
Observing surroundings and shared experiences
Every joke you crack now
Noticing the impact of the person's humor
Halts the words that come falling out of my mouth
Expression of being emotionally affected
It's been so hard to breathe
Struggling with emotional challenges
I'm still gnashing teeth
Continued difficulty, possibly internal conflict
You don't know how to be
Commenting on the person's lack of understanding
What's my name?
Identity crisis or uncertainty
Are you glad that I'm here
Seeking reassurance about the person's feelings
After so many years?
Reflecting on the duration of separation
Not a tad bit weird
Emphasizing normalcy in the reunion
That I
Expressing confusion or indecision
Don't know which way to go?
Continued quest for guidance and direction
