Revival
Chely Wright Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The seasons will come like they do
I'm holding on to threads of us
Cause time away from you wasn't enough
To get me over
I know enough to know
I can't control
When they overflow
I've got this intuition
I can keep you in my vision
At least I keep on wishing
For a revival
Revival
When we had it all fireworks
Exploding and lighting up our world
Then things I can't recall now piled up
And for the life of me, I don't know what
We were thinking
I know enough to know
I can't control
All these emotions
When they overflow
I've got this intuition
I can keep you in my vision
At least I keep on wishing
For a revival
Revival
Bridge:
It's hard to explain the peace I find
While waiting for our hearts to realign
I believe it's just a matter of time
I know enough to know
I can't control
All these emotions
When they overflow
I've got this intuition
I can keep you in my vision
At least I keep on wishing
For a revival
Revival

I've been around a block or two
I have experienced various situations and challenges in life
The seasons will come like they do
Time will pass and change will occur as it always does
I'm holding on to threads of us
I am clinging to the remaining connections and memories of our relationship
Cause time away from you wasn't enough
Because being separated from you for a period of time did not resolve my feelings
To get me over
To help me move on and let go of the emotions I still hold
I know enough to know
I have gained wisdom to understand
I can't control
I cannot dictate or manage
All these emotions
The intense feelings and sentiments I experience
When they overflow
When they become overwhelming and uncontrollable
I've got this intuition
I possess a strong inner perception or understanding
I can keep you in my vision
I can continue to imagine and see you in my mind
At least I keep on wishing
At the very least, I continue to hope and desire
For a revival
For a renewed and revitalized state or situation
When we had it all fireworks
During the period when we had a passionate and thrilling relationship
Exploding and lighting up our world
Creating an exhilarating and vibrant atmosphere around us
Then things I can't recall now piled up
Subsequent events and circumstances that I cannot remember filled up and accumulated
And for the life of me, I don't know what
And despite my efforts, I cannot understand or comprehend
We were thinking
What our thought process was during that time
It's hard to explain the peace I find
It is difficult to articulate the tranquility and serenity I discover
While waiting for our hearts to realign
While patiently anticipating the alignment and harmony of our emotions
I believe it's just a matter of time
I have faith that it will happen, it is only a question of when
