Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We were just living from day to day
And i wish that was the way
Things could've stayed
Well you just couldn't hang around
You packed your bags and left this town
And all i have that's left of you
That guide me through and through
Don't take a moment for granted
Life is short
So cherish every second of it
And take your time through every day
Last but not least
I'm begging you please
Don't forget me
On your way through everyday
Eight years later and i'm all grown up
And i just wish you could've stuck around
But i know you're looking down
And i hope you're feeling proud of what you see
Your spirit is constantly, constantly
Whispering your revelations in my ear and
You said
You said
You said
Don't take a moment for granted
Life is short
So cherish every second of it
And take your time through every day
Last but not least
I'm begging you please
Don't forget me
On your way through everyday
Desiree
Don't take a moment for granted
Life is short
So cherish every second of it
And take your time through every day
Last but not least
I'm begging you please
Don't forget me
On your way through everyday
Radiodriveby's song "Desiree" is an emotional and heartfelt tribute to a lost loved one. The first verse speaks of simpler times when life was carefree and the future was nothing but possibility. The singer wishes things could have stayed that way, but acknowledges that life has a way of moving forward. Unfortunately, the person being sung about "couldn't hang around" and left town, leaving the singer with only memories and the words of wisdom that were passed down. These words remind the singer to cherish every moment of life and to take their time through every day, no matter what tragedies or hardships may come their way.
The second verse takes place eight years later and finds the singer all grown up. They still miss the person who left, wishing they could have stayed around to see the successful and accomplished person the singer has become. Though the person is gone, their spirit continues to inspire and guide the singer, always whispering their revelations in their ear. The lyrics continue to emphasize the importance of cherishing every moment of life and never forgetting those who have touched our hearts, even if they are no longer with us.
Overall, "Desiree" is a poignant reminder of how precious life is and how important it is to hold onto our loved ones, even when they aren't physically present. The song encourages listeners to live in the moment, to make the most of the time they have, and to always remember those who have impacted their lives.
