Journey Through Memories: A Tale of Longing and Reunion
Lyrics
On a roadtrip through South Dakota
Embarking on a journey through South Dakota.
Of your own making
The journey is self-directed and personally crafted.
When you get back I'll be waiting
Expressing anticipation and readiness for the return.
You said you wanna see me
Confirmation of the desire to meet upon return.
On your way back through Minnesota
Planning to pass through Minnesota during the journey.
Make sure the car is racing
Encouraging a swift journey with an implied sense of urgency.
You said you wanna see me
Reiterating the wish to meet during the trip.
And you know that I'll be waiting
Confidently stating the commitment to wait upon return.
When I talk of you I always joke
Jokingly suggesting a perception of the person being adventurous.
That you're off on some adventure
Acknowledging the person's tendency for adventures.
When you get back I'll be waiting
Reiterating the commitment to wait for their return.
'Cause you never really left me
Affirmation that the person never truly left emotionally.
When I think of you I always see you
Visualizing the person in autumn colors, portraying a specific image.
Dressed in autumn colors
Describing the person with quiet lips, suggesting mystery.
Quiet lips, silently baiting
Expressing eagerness and commitment to wait upon return.
When you get back, I'll be waiting
Reflecting on how meeting the person now would be different.
If I met you as a stranger now
Imagining how the person would be perceived if met as a stranger.
I'd see you as a figure
Seeing the person as a distant figure with blurred memories.
Even still, memories blur
Acknowledging the fading of memories.
Slipping right out through my fingers
Memories slipping away like sand through fingers.
If you met me as who I am now
Considering how the present self would erase past memories.
It'd erase all you remembered
Highlighting the transformative nature of time.
It's not that I'm so different
Clarifying that the change is not drastic, just a result of aging.
It's just that we got older
Repeating the theme of waiting for the person's return.
When you get back from the roadtrip
Reiterating the theme of a self-directed journey.
Of your own making
Expressing curiosity about the details of the journey.
I wanna hear all about it
Interest in the experiences and thoughts during moments of silence.
All that goes on in the silence
Anticipation and willingness to patiently wait for the return.
When you get back from the roadtrip
Repeating the theme of eagerly awaiting the person's return.
Of your own making
Expressing commitment to be patiently waiting.
I'll be here patiently waiting
Final affirmation of waiting for the person's return.
'Cause you never really left me
Reiterating the enduring connection, emphasizing emotional presence.
