Too Late To Say Goodbye
Embers of Regret: Trapped in Love's Flames
Lyrics
Oh, my precious ember burning, my sweet glowing light
Expressing affection for someone dear, describing them as a precious ember and a glowing light.
From the moment I first saw you I was yours and you were mine
Claiming a strong connection from the first encounter, a mutual ownership between the speaker and the person addressed.
Deep down we both knew you were trouble by design
Acknowledging that the person is inherently troublesome, suggesting a problematic nature by design.
And the echo of my mother's words, "Baby, don't you play with fire"
Recalling maternal advice about avoiding risky situations, specifically playing with fire as a metaphor for danger.
I was always playing the part, first love only set by a spark
Admitting to always being involved in the risky behavior, with first love ignited like a spark.
There was no way changing my mind
Indicating a lack of willingness to change one's mind despite the potential consequences.
Now I'm under your spell, trapped in a lie
Describing being captivated by the person, feeling entrapped in a deceitful situation.
Shouldn't have stood that close to the fire
Regretting standing too close to the figurative fire, acknowledging a mistake in getting involved.
No turning back, no where to run, no where to hide
Expressing a sense of no escape, no options to run or hide from the situation.
It's too late to say goodbye
Stating that it is now too late to end the relationship.
Push back from my heart, wish we could go back to the start
Yearning to reverse time and return to the beginning of the relationship.
But oh my god is this real no more time
Expressing disbelief in the reality of the situation and a sense of running out of time.
It's too late, it's too late to say goodbye
Reiterating that it's too late to say goodbye, emphasizing the irreversibility of the situation.
I can hear the sounds of sirens circling around
Describing a scene of distress with the sound of sirens, hinting at an emergency or aftermath.
Forced to watch the ashes floating, softly drifting to the ground
Forced to witness the consequences, with ashes symbolizing the aftermath of a destructive event.
Deep down we both knew it was trouble by design
Repeating the acknowledgment that the troublesome nature was predestined.
And the echo of my mother's words, "Baby, don't you play with fire"
Recalling maternal advice once again, emphasizing the danger of playing with fire.
I was always playing the part, first love only set by a spark
Reiterating the pattern of engaging in risky behavior, with first love sparked like fire.
There was no way changing my mind
Reiterating the lack of flexibility in changing one's mind despite the known risks.
Now I'm under your spell, trapped in a lie
Reiterating the feeling of being ensnared in a deceptive situation.
Shouldn't have stood that close to the fire
Expressing regret for getting too close to the metaphorical fire.
No turning back, no where to run, no where to hide
Emphasizing the lack of options to reverse the situation, nowhere to run or hide.
It's too late to say goodbye
Repeating that it's too late to end the relationship.
Push back from my heart, wish we could go back to the start
Expressing a desire to push back from the emotional entanglement and return to the relationship's beginning.
But oh my god is this real, no more time
Expressing a sense of urgency and the realization that time is running out.
It's too late, it's too late to say goodbye
Reiterating the irreversibility of the situation, emphasizing that it's too late to say goodbye.
After all the dust has settled, we can settle down
Anticipating a calmer phase after the chaotic events, envisioning a future with only the two involved.
Just the two of us forever, no one else around
Expressing a desire for a peaceful and exclusive future together.
No one else around around, around
Emphasizing the absence of others in their envisioned future.
Now I'm under your spell, trapped in a lie
Reiterating the feeling of being ensnared in a deceptive situation.
Shouldn't have stood that close to the fire
Reiterating regret for getting too close to the metaphorical fire.
No turning back, no where to run, no where to hide
Emphasizing the lack of options to reverse the situation, nowhere to run or hide.
It's too late to say goodbye
Repeating that it's too late to end the relationship.
Push back from my heart, wish we could go back to the start
Expressing a desire to push back from the emotional entanglement and return to the relationship's beginning.
But oh my god no escape, no more time
Conveying a sense of hopelessness, with no escape and time running out.
It's too late, it's too late to say goodbye
Reiterating the irreversibility of the situation, emphasizing that it's too late to say goodbye.
