Lyrics
Late day comin’, this could make the runnin’
Late day coming, potential for a significant event
This could be a real world war
Possibility of a substantial conflict or crisis
Know much better than you’ll ever tell her
Awareness of information withheld from someone
Still you keep it all in store
Keeping secrets despite knowing more than shared
Next year’s scandals greasing up the handles
Anticipating future scandals and controversies
You best save your breath for blowing out candles
Suggesting conservation of energy for more important matters
We’re in trouble, wading through the rubble
In a challenging situation, navigating through difficulties
This is what the heart beats for…
Expressing the purpose and passion of life
Let’s go all the way
Advocating for complete commitment
Even if we have to pay
Willingness to endure challenges for a deeper connection
Never let a heart get away
Discouraging the loss of genuine emotions
Never let it hesitate
Encouraging immediate and decisive actions in love
One day you’ll be sure
Assurance of eventual certainty
One day you’ll be out the door
Hinting at the inevitability of separation
Never let your heart get bored
Advising against allowing monotony in love
Even when your two and two do not make four no more
Accepting non-traditional outcomes in relationships
Trapped up collar up agains the dollar
Confronting economic challenges
This is when the days get cold
Describing tough times when emotions cool
She's out set stripping over in the kitchen
Imagery of a person struggling in the kitchen
You better put your plans on hold
Suggesting a need to pause plans due to circumstances
? not made of money
Reference to limitations in financial resources
You better save your breath for church on Sunday
Reserving energy for religious activities
Weekend lovers, actively encouraged
Positive encouragement for weekend romance
Seems we were always ?
Unclear reference to a recurring situation
Let’s go all the way
Reiteration of the call for complete commitment
Even if we have to pay
Acceptance of potential sacrifices for love
Never let a heart get away
Emphasizing the importance of holding on to love
Never let it hesitate
Encouraging decisive action in matters of the heart
One day you’ll be sure
Expressing confidence in future certainty
One day you’ll be out the door
Indicating the inevitability of a relationship ending
Never let your heart get bored
Advising against letting love become mundane
Even when your two and two do not make four no more
Acceptance of unconventional relationship outcomes
I heard the voices of the gods as they spoke to each other last night
Reference to a mystical experience with divine voices
We thought that we were so small, but they spoke out our names as if we were kings
Feeling acknowledged and significant in the eyes of higher powers
And they listed our deeds and undertakings
Recognition of one's deeds, possibly harshly judged
They were cruel as you like
Noting the perceived cruelty in divine judgments
But we laughed anyway
Finding humor despite challenging divine assessments
We really never thought we’d hear them say
Surprise at the unexpected positive divine statement
Let’s go all the way
Final affirmation of the commitment to love completely
