Reckless Reflections: Dawid Podsiadło's Tale of Love and Regret
Lyrics
Run they won't worry
Running away without concern
You're just a boy caught up in the
A young person entangled in
Wrong place at the wrong time
Being in the wrong place at the wrong time
Son this is a different story
A message to the son about a unique situation
I want to change but I don't
Desire for change, uncertainty about embracing it
Know if I wanna know that
A hesitation about acquiring knowledge
If you only love her smile
Loving someone only for their smile
When you're sober
Conditional love tied to sobriety
Then you'd never grab that glass again
A resolution to avoid alcohol if love is true
If you think I will forget what happened
Anticipation of not forgetting a past event
Raise the glass and drink it again
A contradictory act of raising and drinking a glass
Years have passed- you're calling
The passage of time and a call from the past
I'm cracking up you're tearing me
Emotional breakdown and simultaneous tearing apart
Apart at the same time
Intense emotions occurring simultaneously
If you only love her smile
Reiteration of loving a smile only when sober
When you're sober
Linking love to sobriety as a condition
Then you'd never grab that glass again
Avoidance of grabbing a glass if true love is present
If you think I will forget what happened
Expectation of not forgetting a significant event
Raise the glass and drink it again
Contradictory action of raising and drinking a glass, repeating the theme
