Didn't we?
This time we almost made some sense of it
Didn't we?
This time I had the answer, right here in my hand
Then I touched it and it had turned to sand
This time we almost sang our song in tune
This time we almost made it, made it to the moon
Didn't we, love?
This time we almost made our poem rhyme
This time we almost made that long hard climb
Didn't we almost make it?
Didn't we almost make it?
Didn't we almost make it this time?
The lyrics of Laurie Bower's song "Didn't We" portray a feeling of almost, of coming close to making something work but not quite getting there. The song seems to be about a relationship or a personal struggle where the singer thought they had the answers, but it slipped away.
The first verse talks about making the pieces fit and trying to make sense of something. It appears that the singer had an answer in their hand, but it turned to sand when they touched it. This suggests that they believed they had found the solution to their problems, only to see it slip away and leave them feeling lost and uncertain.
The chorus talks about how the singer and their love came close to achieving their dreams, but still fell short. They almost sang their song in tune, made it to the moon, and made their poem rhyme. However, they almost made the climb, but couldn't quite get over the hurdle. The repetition of "Didn't we almost make it?" emphasizes the feeling of coming close to success but ultimately falling short.
Overall, the song is about the feeling of coming close to achieving something but falling short. The singer thought they had the answers, but they ended up being just out of reach, leaving them feeling uncertain and almost defeated.
