Hard to Find Lyrics

I can see the glowing lights
I can see them every night
Really not that far away
I could be there in a day
I wonder if you live there still
I kinda think you always will
If I tried, you'd probably be
Hard to find

What I feel now about you then
I'm just glad I can explain
You were beautiful and close and young
In those ways, we were the same
There's a lot I've not forgotten
When I let go of other things
If I tried, they'd probably be
Hard to find

They can all
Just kiss off into the air
They can all
Just kiss off into the air

I don't know why we had to lose
The ones who took so little space
We're still waiting for the ease
To cover what we can't erase
I'm not holding out for you
I'm still watching for the signs
If I tried, you'd probably be
Hard to find

They can all
Just kiss off into the air
They can all
Just kiss off into the air

What is the Meaning of Hard to Find?

The bittersweet nature of lost connections and distant memories takes center stage in this poignant reflection on the past. The narrator contemplates a former relationship or friendship, acknowledging both physical and emotional distance while wrestling with the complex feelings that remain. Despite knowing exactly where to find this person ("I could be there in a day"), there's a deeper understanding that what once existed between them is now irretrievable. The lyrics suggest a mature acceptance of this loss, with the narrator finding peace in preserving certain memories while letting others fade away. The recurring phrase "kiss off into the air" implies a deliberate release of painful attachments, while still maintaining respect for what once was. The song masterfully captures the universal experience of growing apart from someone who once felt indispensable. #LostConnections #NostalgicReflection
