Out Falls the Past
Love's Dance with History: Out Falls the Past
Lyrics
You hold the key to whether we will ever last
You have the power to determine the longevity of our relationship.
I know I can't forever hide behind this mask
I acknowledge that I cannot hide behind a facade indefinitely.
'Cause everytime I fall in love, out falls the past
Each time I fall in love, my past mistakes and experiences resurface.
You'll hear my reputation anywhere you ask
My reputation is known wherever inquiries about me are made.
They'll say I'm always chasing, so the die is cast
People say I'm always pursuing something, and the outcome is already determined.
'Cause everytime I fall in love, out falls the past
Similar to line 3, love triggers the recurrence of my past.
Everytime I find somebody, the whispering begins
Whenever I connect with someone, rumors and gossip start circulating.
About how I change my women like traffic switches lanes
There's talk about how I frequently change my romantic partners, likened to traffic lane switches.
But girl, believe me, I'm the one that's changed
I insist that I'm the one who has undergone a transformation.
Back then, the girls, I guess, I kissed and got out fast
In the past, I may have had brief relationships with girls.
But that's all you need to know then girl, you should have asked
The listener should have asked for details instead of making assumptions.
Everytime I fall in love, out falls the past
Reiteration of the idea that falling in love brings up past issues.
Everytime I find somebody, the whispering begins
Repetition of the theme: rumors start when I get involved with someone.
About how I change my women like traffic switches lanes
Similar to line 10, emphasizing the perception of frequent partner changes.
But girl, believe me, I'm the one that's changed
Reaffirmation that the speaker has transformed despite the gossip.
You hold the key to whether we will ever last
The listener's actions and choices will determine the fate of the relationship.
But I hold when we're together; I ain't ever held on another so fast
The speaker emphasizes the strong connection when they are together, claiming they've never felt this way before.
'Cause everytime I fall in love, out falls the past
Reiteration of the recurring theme: love brings forth past issues and challenges.
