Für Elise
Paul Vinson Lyrics

It was a brief interruption of a Sunday morning
The singer had a sudden thought while going about their day

The sun was high, my heart was stormy
The singer was conflicted with emotions

It was my last night in town for a while
The singer was leaving town soon

And I just got my mind stuck on your smile
The artist was thinking of someone special

This is Für Elise
The song being played is Für Elise

I'm sorry I had to go so soon
The singer is apologizing for leaving early

But I had some things I had to do
The singer had important things to take care of

And I know that I'll be missing you
The artist will miss the person they were thinking of

But I promise that I'll get back to you
The artist promises to return

It isn't like me to leave you empty-handed
The artist typically wouldn't leave without saying goodbye

It isn't like me to fold a suited pair
The singer wouldn't usually give up easily

I guess the cards that I was handed
The situation was out of the artist's control

Would be better off if I just left them there
It was better to move on from the situation

If we were hours apart I would hold you
The singer wishes they could be with the person they were thinking of

If we were miles away I would love you
The singer would still love the person even if they were far apart

And though we're hours apart I'm thinking for you
The artist is still thinking of the special person

And though we're miles away I think I love you
The artist is in love with the person they were thinking of
