the way we were
[unknown] Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Songs we started left me brokenhearted
I have been frozen in time, yeah
Roses on your mind
Will call you home

Prayers unspoken left no hearts unbroken
I've been turning on a dime, yeah
Roses on your mind
Will call you home

Said we're not in love we just hang out high as kites
Said we're not in love we're just halfway out of our mind
And we hang out high as kites
We're not in love we're just high
We're just high

Second verses are the worst of curses
How can we define the line yeah
Roses on your mind
Will call you home

Said we're not in love we just hang out high as kites
Said we're not in love we're just halfway out of our mind
And we hang out high as kites
Said we're not in love we're just high
We're just high
We're just high
We're just high

We're not in love
We're not in love
We're not in love
We're not in love we just hang out high as kites
We're not in love we're just halfway out of our mind
And we hang out high as kites




We're not in love we're just high
We're just high

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of [unknown]'s song "I'm Not in Love" express the confusion and uncertainty of a relationship that is not clearly defined. The singer describes how past experiences have left them brokenhearted and frozen in time, while also acknowledging the presence of something more, symbolized by "roses on your mind". The lyrics suggest that the relationship is not based on love but rather on a shared feeling of being "high as kites", which could refer to drugs or simply a sense of euphoria.


The second verse delves deeper into the confusion and frustration of the situation, with the lyrics "second verses are the worst of curses, how can we define the line". This suggests that the singer is struggling to understand where the relationship stands and how to move forward. Despite this uncertainty, the repeated refrain of "we're not in love" could be interpreted as a denial of deeper feelings or an attempt to maintain some emotional distance.

Memories
Light the corners of my mind
Misty watercolor memories
Of the way we were

Scattered pictures
Of the smiles we left behind
Smiles we gave to one another
For the way we were

Can it be that it was all so simple then?
Or has time re-written every line?
If we had the chance to do it all again
Tell me, would we?
Could we?

Memories
May be beautiful and yet
What's too painful to remember
We simply to choose to forget

So it's the laughter
We will remember
Whenever we remember
The way we were
The way we were

My mother died of breast cancer in 1971. The years roll by but there's never a day I don't think of her. She was an amazing woman and I have always hoped to be half as wonderful as she. I was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2019 - two months after my husband died. Thankfully we caught it early. So far so good. Thank God for the wonders of modern medicine. This song means so much to me as well. Thank you Barbra .. you are incredible!!!

Blessings and sending love. Take care.

I’m so sorry to hear of you loss, and even your husband’s passing I can’t imagine the grief I pray you will be strengthened and comforted in each day; cancer is a terrible disease, older sister was diagnosed just last week and I’m praying she will get through and I can be there just like with our mom; God bless and comfort all who are grieving and miss their mothers

@honesty2476

Live each day like it’s your last! Enjoy your life and do all the wonderful things,
People donot realize tomorrow is not promised to anyone and you donot have to have cancer! People spend so much time taking life for granted.
