Prologue
June Spirit Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

So let's just admit it been a beautiful run
we've been to all the places where great love songs were sung
We danced along riverbanks, and watched the sunset on certain parts of our lives
I would have sold my soul for a few more days of feeling alive
But time would not let us go on forever
And all that remains are the pieces we left behind
The ones no one would stop to claim

Finally, the last two lines of the song conclude the narrative, asserting that all that remains of their love story are the memories left behind, pieces of their story that no one would stop to claim. The song is a reflection on the transient nature of romantic relationships and the emotional weight that comes with their end.


Line by Line Meaning

So let's just admit it been a beautiful run
The past has been wonderful and we should acknowledge it


we've been to all the places where great love songs were sung
We have been to all the romantic places that have inspired famous love songs


We danced along riverbanks, and watched the sunset on certain parts of our lives
We had joyful moments, appreciating nature’s beauty and savored the times that mattered


I would have sold my soul for a few more days of feeling alive
I could do anything for a little bit more time to feel alive


But time would not let us go on forever
However, time does not permit us to live permanently


And all that remains are the pieces we left behind
What's left is just the remnants of our experiences


The ones no one would stop to claim
The pieces are unimportant and have been left unclaimed
