The following is an excerpt from the lyrics of the song sung by Time and Distance entitled ‘Addicted.’ Surprisingly, I realized that I’ve been listening to this song numerous times that I tend to feel (and imagine) the atmosphere the song conveys. It’s a blend of acoustic and ballad, fine harmony and great rhythm asides from the lyrics that’s a bit mushy but captivating. I believe that it’s about a lost love -- that so-called ‘not-meant-to-be love,’ acceptance, letting go, and the pain of losing it. (Listen to it, you’ll know what I mean.)
Sad but there's really love that's not meant to be. This is ‘that thing’ that you can always have because you can’t posses it. It remains in your deepest thoughts where boundaries don’t exist and where you can have it not just for a fleeting moment.
Where are you tonight?
I'm writing this letter, remembering every sky
and this picture is a "shot to the heart"
of when I drove home and said I’d never forget you.
Like the time when the clock read 11:11,
you said "make a wish,"
so I wished that we'd never go our separate ways,
or say a thousand bitter things,
but now I see that wishes are nothing.
And I hope that someday this place can be everything
you hoped it could be,
but the ocean's too cold,
and I can't take the sun.
yeah, it's just not the place for me - so give it up.
I remember spring
and how good it felt to be addicted to you.
Every day and night,
I swore that we could win this,
and the distance brought me closer to you.
We'd lay in wet grass as the night rolled by,
talking about all our friends as all of them were getting high.
sometimes I look up at the sky and think of you.
I wonder what you do,
because I am without you.
