Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To my hometown
Finally here now
To ask you out
On the front door
Of your old house
They just tell me
May the good times
Be remembered
When the trouble
Of present shows up
May the good times
Be remembered
When the trouble
Of present shows up
All this silence
Streets are dead
It′s gettin' colder
Situations runnin′
Through my head
And all I see now
Is your silhouette
You switch the lights off
I light up my cigarette
May the good times
Be remembered
When the trouble
Of present shows up
May the good times
Be remembered
When the trouble
Of present shows up
I wish that we could
Watch the sun
Come up all night
The only thing that can
Heal a broken heart is time
I wish that we could
Watch the sun
Come up all night
The only thing that can
Heal a broken heart is time
I wish that we could
Watch the sun
Come up all night
The only thing that can
Heal a broken heart is time
I wish that we could
Watch the sun
Come up all night
The only thing that can
Heal a broken heart is time
May the good times
Be remembered
When the trouble
Of present shows up
May the good times
Be remembered
When the trouble
Of present shows up
May the good times
Be remembered
When the trouble
Of present shows up
May the good times
Be remembered
When the trouble
Of present shows up

On my way now
I am currently traveling to my hometown
To my hometown
To the place where I grew up
Finally here now
After a long journey, I have arrived
To ask you out
To invite you on a date
On the front door
Standing outside the entrance of your old house
Of your old house
Where you used to live in the past
They just tell me
I am informed
You are married now
That you are now married to someone else
May the good times
Let us remember the joyful moments
Be remembered
Keep them in our thoughts
When the trouble
During difficult times
Of present shows up
When current problems arise
All this silence
The prevailing quietness
Streets are dead
The streets are empty and devoid of life
It's gettin' colder
The temperature is dropping
Situations runnin' through my head
Various scenarios and thoughts are occupying my mind
And all I see now
What catches my attention at the moment
Is your silhouette
Your shadowy figure
You switch the lights off
You turn off the lights
I light up my cigarette
I start smoking a cigarette
I wish that we could
I desire for us to
Watch the sun
Witness the rising sun
Come up all night
Throughout the entire night
The only thing that can
The sole factor capable of
Heal a broken heart is time
Repairing a broken heart is time itself
May the good times
Let us remember the joyful moments
Be remembered
Keep them in our thoughts
When the trouble
During difficult times
Of present shows up
When current problems arise
May the good times
Let us remember the joyful moments
Be remembered
Keep them in our thoughts
When the trouble
During difficult times
Of present shows up
When current problems arise
May the good times
Let us remember the joyful moments
Be remembered
Keep them in our thoughts
When the trouble
During difficult times
Of present shows up
When current problems arise

Glad I clicked on you on Spotify I came over from Fil Bo Riva on Spotify and knew you were worth a listen. Roller coaster girl gives a haunting sadness but also tells a story of love for preciousness trapped in limbo. Touched my mind. Thanks.
