somedaySaucy Dog
It’s an unrequited love song that sings about the feeling of never being able to forget even the smallest things—the places we went together, the views we saw, the other person’s actions—and how recalling them makes your heart ache.
Since the last line of the chorus ends in colloquial speech, it creates a different vibe from other songs; rather than simple sadness, a strong sense of frustration really comes through.
