I believe this song is about people who enter our lives unexpectedly, and the experiences we have, brief but intense moments…. But we can’t stay in those moments. Life goes on, time doesn’t stop, though sometimes we wish it would, it just keeps moving forward and all we are left with is the memories.
Also, it causes us to reflect. Throughout life, friendships evolve. People move away, dynamics change. The one constant in our lives is never-ending change.
“Stay, just like today,
Don’t walk away and leave me another day…
A day just like today
No one else around…”
I think this stanza is about the memories we are left with… that stay with us, haunt us all our lives. We relive those brief fiery intense moments. Especially when we are alone with our thoughts. No one else around. And we will always have those, no one can take that away from us. But it’s a two edged sword, because the bliss of those bittersweet moments, those ever so sweet interludes, must eventually end, and we have to wake up and face the reality of the real world, the here and now, and then we lose them all over again.
