Great Big Sea - How Did We Get From Saying 'I Love You'... Lyrics






'It's a cold day for September', was all I thought to say
When I saw you on the street the other day.
I knew something changed between us, all the talk we made was small
But what do you say to someone when they've heard you say it all?
It's an awkward conversation in a most peculiar way...

[Chorus:]
How did we get from saying 'I love you'
To 'I'll see you around someday'

It seemed like only days ago we had so much to say
Did we take it all for granted, did it all get thrown away?
'It calls for rain this afternoon', you finally replied
There was such a stuttering silence that I felt my mouth go dry
So we'll talk about the weather 'cause there's not much more to say...

[Chorus x2]

Has all the ice been broken?
All our surfaces been scratched
Have all the words been spoken?
Have we finally met our match?

'cause It's an awkward conversation in a most peculiar way...

[Chorus x3]

    I'm a ballad kind of a guy. I listen to hardcore rock music a lot but my true favorites are ballads and even though I consider Queen to be the best ballad writers of all time, the lyrics to this song thrump anything they have ever written. Why? Because it's true to life. A lot of people can relate to this song, including myself. They're simple but they hit you right where they need to.

  21. S.... ....

    Great Big Sea, the best thing to ever come from Canada!

  22. F.... D....

    A painful song for me right now, but in time, I hope I can hear it again. One of my favorite songs of theirs. It's so beautiful. At the moment though, it feels like great big kick to the chest when I hear it.

  31. h.... ....
