Lyrics
I took the long way home after the party
Took a longer route home following the party
I see your pretty eyes smiling in the backseat
Observed your attractive eyes smiling in the rear seat
But i know you're not really there
Acknowledges your absence despite the visual perception
It's just your ghost in my head playing games
Feels haunted by memories, with your ghost playing tricks in the mind
So i close my eyes and pretend it's me and you again
Closes eyes to imagine a reunion, yearning for the past
Oh take me back to the first time you said i love you
Longs to revisit the moment you first expressed love
I just want to feel your heartbeat close to my body
Desires the intimate sensation of your heartbeat close to their body
God i'm so mad at the world for taking you away
Expresses anger towards the world for separating them
Oh take me back to the first time you said i love you
Reiterates the yearning for the initial "I love you" moment
Yeah i loved you
Affirms the past affection for you
Knocked on the door and got met by the face of your parents
Encountered the parents, possibly after your departure
Saw that it brought them to tears when i brought a present
Notices the emotional impact of a gift on the parents
I know that it's kind of weird to celebrate life without you
Acknowledges the difficulty of celebrating life without you
We all try to ignore the elephant in the room
Addresses the avoidance of acknowledging a significant absence
Oh take me back to the first time you said i love you
Repeats the desire to go back to the initial love declaration
I just want to feel your heartbeat close to my body
Expresses the longing for the physical closeness of your heartbeat
God i'm so mad at the world for taking you away
Expresses frustration and anger at the world for the separation
Oh take me back to the first time you said i love you
Reiterates the wish to revisit the first declaration of love
Know i can't change
Acknowledges inability to change the past or the associated pain
The past or the pain
Reflects on the past and the enduring pain
But i tried to
Expresses an attempt to communicate with God
Talk to god who
Highlights a conversation with God who assured that you would stay
Said you will stay
Emphasizes the belief in God's assurance that everything will be okay
That i'll be ok
Reiterates the need to trust in God's words for reassurance
I have to believe what he says
Stresses the importance of believing in God's promises
I took the long way home after the party
Repeats taking a longer route home after the party
Looked in your eyes and i said i see you soon darling
Looks into your eyes and expresses the anticipation of seeing you soon
