Face to Face
Love's Consequence: A Melodic Tale of Shared Guilt
Lyrics
Face to face, toe to toe
Intimate, close confrontation or interaction
Where we'll stop, heaven knows
Uncertain where the relationship will lead
Arm in arm, cheek to cheek
Close physical proximity, possibly romantic
Whose to blame?
Questioning responsibility for the situation
Hand in hand, heart to heart
Connected emotionally and physically
We never should have let it start
Regret over starting the relationship
But it's too late, we shared it all
Despite regrets, everything has been shared
Now it's time to share the blame
Time to acknowledge mutual responsibility
I can feel your body tremble
Sensing partner's anxiety or fear
As I hold you in my arms
Offering comfort during a distressing moment
For you know, another woman has my name
Acknowledging involvement with another person
Now she knows it's you and me
Recognition that the other person knows about the affair
But she don't want to set me free
Despite awareness, reluctance to end the relationship
We've shared it all, now it's time to share the blame
Acceptance of shared responsibility for the situation
Face to face, toe to toe
Repeating the close, intimate interaction
Where we'll stop, heaven knows
Continued uncertainty about the relationship's future
Arm in arm, cheek to cheek
Reiteration of physical closeness, possibly romantic
Whose to blame?
Repeating the question of responsibility
Hand in hand, heart to heart
Emphasizing emotional and physical connection
We never should have let it start
Regret over starting the relationship, repeated
But it's too late, we shared it all
Despite regrets, acknowledging sharing everything
Now it's time to share the blame
Reiteration of the need to accept mutual responsibility
Face to face, toe to toe
Repeated reference to intimate confrontation
Where we'll stop, heaven knows
Continued uncertainty about the relationship's direction
Arm in arm, cheek to cheek
Re-emphasizing physical closeness, possibly romantic
Whose to blame?
Repeating the question of blame
Hand in hand, heart to heart
Highlighting emotional and physical connection, repeated
We never should have let it start
Regret over initiating the relationship, reiterated
But it's too late, we shared it all
Despite regrets, acknowledging sharing everything, reiterated
Now it's time to share the blame
Re-emphasis on the need for mutual acceptance of responsibility
Face to face, toe to toe
Continued reference to an intimate confrontation
Where we'll stop
Ending abruptly, leaving uncertainty unresolved
