Echoes of Us by Laufey tells the heartfelt story of someone struggling to let go of their first love. This long-distance connection felt like an unspoken relationship, filled with repeated reunions and farewells. The song reflects both the pain of moving on and the hope that somewhere down the line, the stars will realign in their favor.
[Verse 1]
We were miles apart but felt like one inside
You and I dancing in the dark, no place to hide
We never said those words but acted like we knew
Closed our eyes and dreamed, but reality slipped through
[Chorus]
And I keep letting go, but holding on again
To the echoes of us, caught in the wind
Maybe someday we'll be more than a memory
In a future where you and I can finally be
[Verse 2]
Long-distance whispers felt closer than they seem
Living in our moments, like a tearless dream
Connections fraying, but the heart remains the same
Chasing our past, while calling your name
[Chorus]
And I keep letting go, but holding on again
To the echoes of us, caught in the wind
Maybe someday we'll be more than a memory
In a future where you and I can finally be
[Bridge]
Still here, hoping you feel the same
That you dream of us in the pouring rain
Though we're apart, I'll keep the flame
Of what we had, cloaked in your name
[Chorus]
And I keep letting go, but holding on again
To the echoes of us, caught in the wind
Maybe someday we'll be more than a memory
In a future where you and I can finally be
[Outro]
For now I'll wait, under the distant stars
Longing for the time when you'll be in my arms
But if we fade into the night, let these echoes be
A testament to the love that was you and me

letting go of your first love who you keep going back to, who, although you weren't in a relationship, still acted like you were in one. this was a long distance relationship, you also still want to hold on to that mild chance that, maybe in the future, it may work out. hoping maybe the other person feels the same.
