Separate
Love's Detour: Aurora Ave.'s Tale of Missed Connections
Lyrics
They say that second chances come once in a while
Expressing the common belief that second chances are rare occurrences.
It's about time I thought the same
Acknowledging the need for a second chance and the timeliness of realizing it.
She sat there with an iridescent smile
Describing a woman with a radiant and colorful smile.
I didn't even get to catch her name
Regretting not having the opportunity to learn the woman's name.
She could've been the one to fill in all the blanks
Suggesting the woman had the potential to complete or enhance certain aspects of the speaker's life.
Why should it be so hard to wait another day
Questioning the difficulty of waiting for another chance.
She went and got a separate ride home
Noting that the woman chose a different mode of transportation.
I thought we'd get some time to spend alone
Expressing disappointment at not having the expected time alone with the woman.
I guess she might've lost her phone
Suggesting a possible reason for the woman's unavailability - losing her phone.
'Cause I've been waiting for a message all night long
Waiting anxiously for a message from the woman throughout the night.
For hours, I was gonna buy her flowers with the chance that I'd get her some more
Planning a gesture (buying flowers) to impress the woman and express affection.
She went and got a separate ride home
Reiterating that the woman chose a separate mode of transportation.
They said that love wouldn't cause me any trouble
Reflecting on the advice that love wouldn't bring trouble, but experiencing the opposite.
You could just say I'm out of luck
Acknowledging being out of luck in matters of love.
But maybe there's a cause to all my struggles
Considering the possibility that struggles in love have a purpose.
And maybe what I had was not enough
Suggesting that what the speaker had before may not have been sufficient.
She could've been the one the diamond in the rough
Seeing the woman as a valuable and unique individual.
But why should this be so hard all in the name of love
Questioning the difficulty of love and the sacrifices made in its name.
She went and got a separate ride home
Repeating the woman choosing a different mode of transportation.
I thought we'd get some time to spend alone
Expressing disappointment at not having the expected time alone with the woman (repeated).
I guess she might've lost her phone
Suggesting a possible reason for the woman's unavailability - losing her phone (repeated).
'Cause I've been waiting for a message all night long

For hours, I was gonna buy her flowers with the chance that I'd get her some more
Planning a gesture (buying flowers) to impress the woman and express affection (repeated).
She went and got a separate ride home
Reiterating that the woman chose a separate mode of transportation (repeated).
All I want to be is what she wants to see
Desiring to be what the woman wants to see.
All she wants to see is more than I can be
Recognizing the woman's expectations surpass the speaker's capabilities.
All I want to be is what she wants to see
Repeating the desire to be what the woman wants to see.
All she wants to see is more than I can be
Reiterating that the woman's expectations exceed the speaker's capabilities.
All I want to be is what she wants to see
Expressing the ongoing desire to meet the woman's expectations.
All she wants to see is more than I can be
Acknowledging the challenge of meeting the woman's high expectations.
She went and got a separate ride home

I thought we'd get some time to spend alone
