Ivory Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You have found
Another way out of this town
Auburn scarf 'round your neck
Winter nights with feet so wet
Envelopes letters sent
Times we laughed and danced in step
Don't go quite yet
Don't leave this love that we had
I can't forget
That night before you left
I tried not to listen
Come on it's not time yet
But if you have to leave,
I'll still be here waiting
How loud i can hear
Your color in my...
How loud i can hear
This silence ringing in my ear
In this song, the singer is speaking directly to their partner who has decided to leave town, expressing their reluctance for their partner to leave and reminiscing about the beautiful times they shared together. The singer admits that they are aware their partner has already found another way out of this town and this makes them extremely sad. They reminisce about times when they spent beautiful winter nights together, laughing and dancing in step, and sending letters in envelopes. The singer pleads with their partner to not leave yet and not to go away from the love that they shared. However, if their partner still needs to leave, the singer promises to wait for them.
The lyrics of the chorus indicate the deep emotions and pain experienced by the singer when they think about their partner leaving. They remember a night before their partner left, where they tried not to listen, hoping to hold on to the time they had together -- the memories, the laughter, the moments they shared. But as the silence rings in their ears, they come to terms with the fact that their partner has to leave, and they will be forced to carry on without them.
Overall, the song speaks to the heartbreak that often follows a relationship when one partner has to leave, and the singer's reluctance to let go of such a beautiful memory of love and togetherness.

I'm sure by now
I am confident that at this point in time
You have found
You have discovered or identified
Another way out of this town
A different path or route to leave this location
Auburn scarf 'round your neck
A scarf of reddish-brown color worn around your neck
Winter nights with feet so wet
Cold season evenings where your feet are soaked
Envelopes letters sent
Messages conveyed through handwritten correspondences
Times we laughed and danced in step
Moments of joy and synchrony while laughing and dancing together
Don't go quite yet
I implore you not to depart immediately
Don't leave this love that we had
Please do not abandon our past affection for each other
I can't forget
It is impossible for me to disregard or overlook
That night before you left
The evening preceding your departure
I tried not to listen
I attempted to avoid hearing or paying attention to something
Come on it's not time yet
The occasion is not yet suitable for that action
But if you have to leave,
However, if you must depart,
I'll still be here waiting
I will remain present and patient
How loud i can hear
The extent of the volume at which I can perceive
Your color in my...
The way you colored my world or changed my perspective on things
How loud i can hear
Again, the intensity of the volume at which I can perceive
This silence ringing in my ear
The absence of sound that echoes loudly in my mind
