In The Same Lifetime Lyrics

Cover art for In The Same Lifetime lyrics by Spitalfield

This song makes me think of when I graduated college and got a job offer 1000 miles away... discussing with my girlfriend "what should I do?". And she said "go for it, it's a great opportunity, you can't pass it up, it's what you've been working so hard for"... even though it meant leaving her behind, while she finished school herself.

I took the job, making frequent trips back to see her, but each time, it became more and more obvious that the relationship was faltering. The verse about the summer-changed-to-fall-changed-to-winter implies the passage of time, and that their relationship issues are still unresolved.

Ultimately, the relationship ended, but we'll always be "together" in a sense....under the same sky.. in the same lifetime....
