We’ve come a long way since we last shook hands Still got a long way to go We couldn’t see the flowers since we last shook hands Couldn’t see the flowers on account of the snow         What did you do with your burden and your cross Did you carry it yourself or did you crack You and I know that a burden and a cross Can only be carried on one man’s back                   All my life I wanted to roam                To go to the ends of the earth But the earth really ends where you started to roam You and I know what a circle is worth                   Let’s drink a cup to what went down         There’s not much left to reveal I think I changed my mind after what went down As to who in the end got the better deal                Give me your hand for the parting touch     Fare thee well and thanks a lot I know that we promised we would keep in touch But you and I know that we both forgot                  We’ve come a long way since we last shook hands Still got a long way to go Couldn’t see the flowers when we last shook hands Couldn’t see the flowers on account of the snow

À propos de la chanson

La chanson évoque un cheminement entre deux personnes, soulignant à quel point elles ont progressé depuis leur dernière rencontre, mais qu'il leur reste encore du chemin à parcourir. Elle aborde la notion de fardeaux et de sacrifices, se demandant si chacun a su porter les siens ou s'il a craqué sous la pression. Les réflexions sur les voyages illustrent une quête de sens, où il est reconnu que le vrai voyage peut parfois ramener aux origines. À travers des souvenirs partagés et des promesses de rester en contact, il se dégage une mélancolie sur le fait que ces belles intentions peuvent souvent se perdre avec le temps.
