The times we had
Oh, when the wind would blow with rain and snow
Were not all bad
We put our feet just where they had, had to go
Never to go
The shattered soul
Following close but nearly twice as slow
In my good times
There were always golden rocks to throw
At those who
Those who admit defeat too late
Those were our times, those were our times
And I will love to see that day
That day is mine
When she will marry me outside with the willow trees
And play the songs we made
They made me so
And I would love to see that day
Her day was mine
Oh, when the wind would blow with rain and snow
Were not all bad
We put our feet just where they had, had to go
Never to go
The shattered soul
Following close but nearly twice as slow
In my good times
There were always golden rocks to throw
At those who
Those who admit defeat too late
Those were our times, those were our times
And I will love to see that day
That day is mine
When she will marry me outside with the willow trees
And play the songs we made
They made me so
And I would love to see that day
Her day was mine

The third verse just makes me wibble. I do not care whether people will accept wibble as a word, it's what it does. He's singing about wanting to marry a girl and his voice is so beautiful. Zach Cordon
soft and sweet :)
wonderful!!!
I feel like it means he was dumped by this woman and when he looks back he feels that not just regret or longing which is good.
He also seems to be reflective when he states that when he was together with her they would mock people that they saw who were busted up by loss and couldn't let go "people that give up to late". When you are with someone it is easy to say to others "get over it". It seems like he realizes it now.
But after the music and the new theme kicks in you realize that he doesn't!
He IS one of those people and probably like them don't realize the unrealistic goal that they may still get back together. HE'S not letting it go. He still waits for the day she'll come back to him. It's crazy what it says about human nature, and the irony is incredible.
I can't even believe it.
3 stanzas to describe something with so much meaning. Genius.
That's at least how I see it. If anyone agrees please let me know.
"We put our feet just where they had, had to go
Never to go" para mi hace referencia a que en su momento ambos creyeron ir bien encaminados, que ambos tenÃan su futuro planeado juntos pero que finalmente nunca se logró, nunca pudieron caminar por donde querÃan por donde soñaban.
"The shattered soul
Following close but nearly twice as slow" es como si quisiera decir que el triste final que destrozarÃa su alma siempre estuvo, pero su relación fue duradera (but nearly twice as slow)
Y en la última estrofa es, personalmente, algo que él sabe que no pasará pero si fue algo que estuvo en sus planes y que le gustarÃa ver como las proyecciones de ambos se hacen realidad.
