They'll Never Take The Good Years
Cherished Moments and Regrets: Unveiling the Meaning Behind 'They'll Never Take The Good Years'
Lyrics
Don't put your faith in my heart
Cautioning against trusting the speaker's heart.
I will only let you down
The speaker acknowledges a tendency to disappoint.
Don't let your love grow too deep
Advising not to invest too deeply in love.
I don't think I'll be around
Expressing uncertainty about the speaker's future presence.
There is a curse in my bones
Describing an inherent curse or flaw in the speaker's nature.
That'll breathe and fly again
Suggesting a cyclical nature of this curse, hinting at renewal.
Until when we both are ghosts
Imagining a time when both the speaker and the listener are no longer alive.
I will miss you like a friend
Expressing a future longing for the listener even after death.
But they'll never take the good years
Highlighting the enduring quality of "good years" that won't be taken away.
There are some that never burn
Contrasting the good years with experiences that don't leave lasting scars.
And they'll never take the good years
Reiterating the idea that positive, meaningful moments endure.
God, I wish I would have learned
Expressing regret for not learning from past experiences.
Don't be afraid to move on
Encouraging the listener to embrace new beginnings without fear.
You were meant to bear a child
Highlighting a purposeful role in bearing a child.
Don't look for me when you're gone
Advising against seeking the speaker when the listener moves on.
It'll only hurt a while
Minimizing the potential pain caused by the absence of the speaker.
But they'll never take the good years
Reaffirming the lasting nature of the positive experiences (good years).
There are some that never burn
Emphasizing that certain positive moments endure without fading.
And they'll never take the good years
Repeating the idea that the good years remain untouched by time.
God, I wish I would have learned
Expressing a wish for having learned from past mistakes or experiences.
