Kathleen
rich people Lyrics

I remember young songs
I recall the music I enjoyed as a child

In a white car parked by the mall
I associate these songs with memories of sitting in a white car by the mall

Long before I did things down the road
These memories are from a time before I made certain choices in my life

Before I got so tall
Before I became the person I am now

And you were always been my friend
You have been my friend consistently throughout my life

In spite of everything I did
Regardless of the mistakes I made or things I did wrong

And you could always find me hiding out
You had a way of always knowing where to find me when I tried to hide

Despite how quietly I hid
Even when I thought I was being really sneaky or quiet about it

So this is just how I say
This is my way of expressing something

Those three words everybody knows
I am referring to the words 'I love you'

It's not like I found some special thoughts
I don't have profound new insights to share

Mine just found some place to go
These feelings and expressions were already inside me, waiting to come out

And that's why I sing
This is my reason for making music

All these words in such big notes
I convey these feelings through dramatic musical phrases

So that you'll hear me
I want to be heard and understood

And wonder what I wrote
I hope my music inspires curiosity about my true feelings

I always thought it was just
I used to think this about something

(I always thought, I always thought)
This was a persistent belief or assumption

The way a mother sees a son
I once saw our relationship in this way, as a mother-child bond

(You'd talk, you'd talk)
You used to talk about my creative projects a lot

You'd talk about the way I write
You used to give me a lot of feedback on my written work

Now you see how far it's come
My work has evolved and improved over time, and you've been there to witness it

(Now you see how far, now you see how far)
This is a repeated emphasis on your perception of my growth

So I've tucked you into my voice
I've incorporated your support and influence into my music

(Always there for me)
This emphasizes your consistent presence in my life

Like how you used to do for me
This is similar to how you used to comfort me when I was young

(High notes, high notes)
This is a reference to the particular style of music I make

You're the warm tone in my high notes
You contribute something special to my music that brings it to life

You were my first harmony
Your support and guidance have been a foundational influence on my music

(You were my first
This emphasizes the importance of your influence

You were my first
You were the first and most significant person to support my creative endeavors

You were my first
Your impact on me was profound and long-lasting

Harmony)
This is a metaphorical reference to the way our relationship works together to create something beautiful

So I thought about the contrast
I reflected on the differences between my past and present

How things don't always go one way
Life is full of unexpected twists and turns

There was only love when I was young
As a child, I experienced a lot of love and support from you

I just wish enough to stay
I wish those feelings could have lasted longer

And I remember young things
I have many fond memories of being young

The sad things and the fun things
My memories are mixed between happy and sad emotions

But I, but I, but I
These lines emphasize my feelings of nostalgia and reflection

I saw myself grow tall
I watched myself become an adult

Then I stole all of your sleep
I caused you a lot of worry and stress

Harmed everyone around me
My actions ended up hurting those I cared about

But I sing, I sing
Despite my mistakes and regrets, I still find joy in music

We all fall down
We all experience setbacks and failures

And get back up
But we can always find a way to keep going

(We all fall down
This is an echo of the previous line

And get back up)
This is a repeated affirmation of resilience

I'd never be the one I am
My identity and character are shaped by many experiences and influences

Without the one you've always been
Your influence has been a critical part of who I am today

Through bitter times and better strides
You've been there for me during tough times and moments of growth

From skating rinks and white car rides
We have shared many experiences together, both big and small

You are the one
This line emphasizes the importance of your role in my life

The loving hand that built the sun
This is a metaphorical way of saying that you have brought a lot of light and warmth into my life

All these words stuck in your throats
These lyrics represent a lot of feelings and emotions that may be hard to express

It's not like I found some special thoughts
These feelings and expressions are not particularly unique or groundbreaking

Mine just found some place to go
These emotions were already inside me, waiting to be expressed through music

And that's why I sing
This is the fundamental reason why I make music

All these words in such big notes
I convey these emotions through dramatic and powerful musical phrasing

So that you'll hear me
I want my audience to really listen to what I'm saying through my music

And wonder what I wrote
I hope my lyrics inspire curiosity and reflection in my listeners
