You
Intwine Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

And we take too long and we go too far
Till we see what we have become
And it's much too late and the costs too high
But the memories will never die

I am because of you
I have dreams old and new
But I would give it all back
For just one more day with you

Now the distance made and the words have been said
Not there lies an empty bed
Even roriry ran away can't find it
A single jack to show me the way

I said things that I
Thought I would not regret
But I would take it all back
For just one more day with you

Your damned cigarettes 'n your hard yellow hat
That used to be white but went through a fight
That's what you did in those stories those fibs




Wish I said goodbye to...
You

Line by Line Meaning

And we take too long and we go too far
We often drag things on without realizing the point of no return


Till we see what we have become
Until we recognize the change that has happened within ourselves


And it's much too late and the costs too high
Regret sets in when it's too late and the price of the consequences becomes unbearable


But the memories will never die
Despite the pain, memories last forever


I am because of you
My identity is shaped by your presence in my life


I have dreams old and new
I am constantly inspired and motivated by my aspirations


But I would give it all back
I am willing to sacrifice everything


For just one more day with you
To have one more moment with the one I love


Now the distance made and the words have been said
We are now separated and have said everything we needed to say


Not there lies an empty bed
The bed is empty, reminding me of your absence


Even roriry ran away can't find it
Even a search that seems endless and hopeless cannot bring anything back


A single jack to show me the way
If only there was a clear path to follow


I said things that I
I spoke my mind and shared my feelings


Thought I would not regret
Believing that I was expressing myself without any negative consequences


But I would take it all back
I regret saying those words


For just one more day with you
Because your presence means more to me than being right


Your damned cigarettes 'n your hard yellow hat
Your habits that used to irritate me are now missed


That used to be white but went through a fight
Your hat, that was once pristine, now shows its signs of wear and tear


That's what you did in those stories those fibs
Your storytelling, even if not always truthful, was still entertaining


Wish I said goodbye to...
I regret not having the chance to say goodbye to you
