Echoes
Gabriel Boni Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I won’t admit I want you back
But I’ve been missing your body
If it’s love that we lack
Let’s be together unhearted
Do you even know
I can feel your shadow
I still live with your ghost
I can hear you moan

In between the echoes

I won’t admit I want you back
Although I yearn for you, I am unwilling to confess my desire for you to return.

But I’ve been missing your body
I have been longing for your physical embrace and presence.

If it’s love that we lack
If our absence of affection is the issue,

Let’s be together unhearted
Let us come together without emotional attachment or commitment.

Do you even know
Are you aware

I can feel your shadow
I sense your presence, even if you are not physically present.

I still live with your ghost
Your memory still haunts me and lingers with me.

I can hear you moan
I can vividly recall the sound of your voice or expressiveness.

In between the echoes
In the moments when the energy of our past encounters still reverberates.
