Go Around
Eternal Yearning: Bryan Elijah Smith's 'Go Around' Chronicles Love's Endless Quest
Lyrics
Take me back where river rolls deep
Desire to return to a place with deep-flowing rivers.
Back to the bridge where we hung our feet forever in time
Nostalgia for a bridge symbolizing a timeless connection.
I swung you around and I stole a kiss
Recollection of a moment of playfulness and stolen affection.
You said my stubborn soul was the one you missed when you were mine
Acknowledgment of the speaker's stubborn nature missed by a past love.
Only love can break you down
Recognition that only love has the power to bring emotional distress.
There's never enough to go around
Commentary on the scarcity of love, suggesting it's insufficient for everyone.
You take what you can get
Advice to accept what is available or possible.
There's never enough to go around
Reiteration of the idea that love is limited in availability.
We go around
Emphasis on the cyclical nature of relationships, implying repeated experiences.
Take me back where the pain was pure
Yearning to return to a time of pure emotional pain.
Back to the beat that brought me to her forever in time
Revisiting the rhythmic beat that led to a significant encounter.
I'd drive you around; I'd buy you flowers
Expressing willingness to drive and make romantic gestures, reminiscing about the past.
I'd give them to you in the back seat for hours when you were mine
Recall of giving flowers in a car, spending extended time together.
Only love can break you down
Reiteration of the power of love to cause emotional breakdown.
There's never enough to go around
Reflection on the perpetual insufficiency of love.
You take what you can get
Encouragement to accept what love is available, even if limited.
There's never enough to go around
Reiteration that love is not abundant.
We go around
Reaffirmation of the cyclic nature of relationships and experiences.
I passed time walkin' on the street
Passing time on the street, receiving a warning about a potentially harmful influence.
He said beware of the hand, the hand that feeds forever in time
Caution about the consequences of relying on something indefinitely.
Love or lust it's all the same; you give what got can get then go giggling to your grave
Observation that love and lust are interchangeable, leading to fleeting pleasures.
Only love can break you down
Reiteration of love's power to cause emotional distress.
There's never enough to go around
Reflection on the perpetual scarcity of love.
You take what you can get
Encouragement to accept the available love, even if it's not abundant.
There's never enough to go around
Reiteration that love is not plentiful.
We go around
Emphasis on the cyclical nature of relationships and experiences.
