Letting Go
Eternal Echoes: Wrestling with Love's Farewell
Lyrics
Spending the night alone for the first time in a while
Expressing the experience of spending a night alone after a long time.
I look at the sky and I think of you
Reflecting on the sky and associating it with thoughts of a significant person.
'Cause somehow exploding stars and miles of empty space
Connecting celestial events like exploding stars and vast space to the serendipity of meeting the person.
Made it possible for me to run into you
Highlighting the cosmic circumstances that allowed the encounter.
And I'll stay awake anyways, through all the pain, and all the heavy rain
Committing to staying awake despite emotional pain and challenges.
Looking through photographs of me and you wishing things were the same
Nostalgically looking at photographs and yearning for the past.
But it's over, it's real this time, I feel it in my bones
Acknowledging the finality of a relationship, sensing it deeply.
And it's over, it's real this time, and I'm having trouble letting go
Reiterating the realization that it's truly over and struggling to move on.
Of you
Emphasizing the difficulty of letting go by repeating the phrase "Of you."
Of you
-I smell your scent all over me and it's keeping me wide awake
Sensory memory of the person, keeping the speaker awake.
I close my eyes and hope and pray that when I open them it's all a dream
Expressing a desire for the painful reality to be a dream.
And I can't say I don't understand how you could walk away, 'cause I made so many mistakes
Understanding the reasons behind the person leaving due to personal mistakes.
If I could do it all, over again, I'd do right away, right away
Expressing a willingness to redo the past and correct mistakes immediately.
For you (I'd do it right away, I'd do it right away)
Reiterating the commitment to make amends for the person.
For you (I'd do it right away, I'd do it right away)
-For you (I'd do it right away, I'd do it right away)
-For you (I'd do it right away, I'd do it right away)
-And now it's over, it's real this time, I feel it in my bones
Reaffirming the emotional realization that the relationship has ended.
And now it's over, it's real this time, and I'm having trouble letting go
Acknowledging the difficulty of moving on after the finality of the relationship.
Of you
Continuing to express the struggle of letting go, repeating the phrase "Of you."
Of you
-(Of you)
Repeating the struggle of letting go, emphasizing the emotional difficulty.
(Of you)
