Seasons Change

and light our way back home.
The pools beneath our feet tear with skipping stones.
So how much time should pass
for me to recognize mistakes?
The days I let pass by,
the story in your eyes I never read.
And I have to hear you say
that you're in a better place
but I won't stop mailing these postcards
to somewhere I don't know.
How many years should drift by my windowsill?
To heal the wounds inside,
the empty words that slide right down my throat.
And I have to hear you say
that you're in a better place
but I won't stop mailing these postcards to somewhere I don't know.
Seasons change and we grow apart.
But I don't have the heart to live in a world where we never met.
Colors fade,
drip down the drain,
we were white as sheets.
Colors fade,
drip down the drain.
If you loved yourself as much as I held you in my heart
then just maybe I could hear you over the phone, you'd know just what to do.
I'm so lost.
I'm so lost without your hand
cascading over mine
but I won't stop mailing these postcards to somewhere I don't know.
And I have to hear you say that you're in a better place but I won't stop mailing these postcards to somewhere I don't know.
The first paragraph of the song "Seasons Change" reflects a sentiment of longing and nostalgia. The singer expresses a desire for guidance and illumination, symbolized by the wish for stars to fall to earth and light their way back home. The imagery of skipping stones on pools beneath their feet suggests a sense of fleeting moments and missed opportunities.
In the second paragraph, there is a theme of introspection and regret. The singer questions how much time must pass for them to recognize their mistakes, particularly regarding moments that were overlooked or left unexplored. The mention of the story in the other person's eyes that went unread speaks to a sense of missed connections and unspoken truths.
The third paragraph delves into acceptance and resignation. The singer acknowledges that the other person is in a better place, yet they continue to send postcards to an unknown destination, symbolizing a longing for connection and closure. The repetition emphasizes the persistent yearning for communication and understanding.
The final paragraph encapsulates the overarching theme of change and separation. The inevitability of growing apart is acknowledged, but the singer laments the idea of living in a world where their paths never crossed. The imagery of colors fading and love dissipating like water down the drain conveys a sense of loss and fading memories. The final lines express a profound sense of loss and longing, depicting the singer's desperation for connection and their refusal to let go of the hope for reconciliation, despite the distance that now separates them.
