These lyrics pull me back to the summer after high school. It captures what I had with him then. constant contact & then drift apart. makes me smile to think he once told me we were 'soul mates.' 'no matter what.' never Good enough for each other from either of our eyes. everything seemed so intense back then. A smile crosses my face.
its all you truly have to live for. Its before you move away for college, before the big 'career' seeking days. Living every day like its your last chance.
what do you do when you know 'he' was right? you live life knowing someone cared about you that much. completely. and pulled insane stunts just to see each other only for a few short minutes. the air left the room around him. it was an amazing chapter in my life.
Why tell the story? Because its a way for me to describe and share where a song takes a person. When you let yourself allow the lyrics to sink in, to resonate. Where do you find yourself? What moment is it?
Is it the most painful moment forever seared in our skin? Is it the butterflies that come fluttering back as you think of the first kiss? The way you remember "him," how he'd do certain things only for you. Singing you his favorite song after he taught you how to drive his car.........
I listen to music all the time. For me I have found it helps me capture memories. Helps them stick. I love that about music and how our mind works.
Finally - to the song lyrics if you haven't already been there
