The Day I Wrote You Off
E Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I saw some photos of a happy family
Hanging up on the thrift shop wall
I paid the man and I brought them back home
I feel better now when they don't call

Every once in a while
I see your face when I stare at the ceiling
I truly regret
The day I wrote you off

Always dreamed that one day I'd leave home
And now I do it again and again
And here I go looking for my new home
Or shall I say looking for a best friend

Every once in a while
I see your face when I stare at the ceiling





I truly regret
The day I wrote you off

I saw some photos of a happy family
I stumbled upon a group of pictures portraying a joyful family


Hanging up on the thrift shop wall
Those pictures were hanging on the wall of a store that sells cheap, second-hand items


I paid the man and I brought them back home
I paid the shop owner and took the photos back to my residence


I feel better now when they don't call
I experience a sense of relief when I don't receive phone calls from them


Every once in a while
Sometimes


I see your face when I stare at the ceiling
I notice an image of you in my mind when I gaze up at the roof


I truly regret
I feel remorseful for


The day I wrote you off
The date on which I decided to cut you out of my life


Always dreamed that one day I'd leave home
I always had an aspiration to depart from my hometown someday


And now I do it again and again
And now I keep doing it continuously


And here I go looking for my new home
And this time I'm seeking a new place to dwell


Or shall I say looking for a best friend
Or should I describe it as searching for a companion whom I consider to be my closest confidant
