Lyrics
Time after time
Expressing repetition and a sense of continuity in a relationship.
You close that door
Suggesting the closing or ending of opportunities or communication.
And say to me:
Conveying a dialogue where the speaker is addressed.
Can't stand no more
Indicating a limit reached, possibly emotional or relational.
But every time
Highlighting the inconsistency of actions when apart.
When I'm away
Suggesting a distance or separation in the relationship.
You call to me:
Contradicting the closing of the door, implying a desire for connection.
Please come and stay!
Requesting the speaker to return and be present.
You know it's hard to carry on
Expressing the difficulty of continuing without love.
If you don't love me anymore
Acknowledging a possible lack of love in the relationship.
You say you need to lean on me
Stating the need for emotional support from the speaker.
But can I too, lean on you
Questioning the reciprocity of emotional support.
Want it all
Desiring a complete life with youth, freedom, and family.
To be young and free
Expressing the wish for a carefree and youthful existence.
Have family
Expressing the desire for a family life.
But can't you see
Pointing out a potential obstacle or conflict in achieving the desired life.
You can't decide
Highlighting the difficulty in making moral judgments.
What's right or wrong
Suggesting a need to stop overthinking and make a decision.
Don't think no more
Encouraging to stop dwelling on the issue.
It's time to go
Implying a need for a change or departure.
You know it's hard to carry on
Reiterating the difficulty of continuing without love.
If you don't love me anymore
Repeating the theme of potential lack of love.
You say you need to lean on me
Reemphasizing the need for support in the relationship.
But can I too, lean on
Raising a question about the speaker's ability to seek support.
You talk me 'bout
Discussing the partner's self-esteem issues.
Your self esteem
Addressing the partner's need for emotional reinforcement.
How you think
Exploring the partner's perception of the speaker's actions.
I've flushed it down the drain
Suggesting a negative impact on the partner's self-esteem.
You know the mirror
Introducing a mirror as a metaphor for self-reflection.
Hanging at your wall
Highlighting the placement of the mirror on the partner's wall.
Take a good look in it
Encouraging the partner to self-reflect through the mirror.
And you'll find the real cause
Attributing the relationship issues to the partner's actions.
You know it's hard to carry on
Repeating the challenge of continuing without love.
If you don't love me anymore
Reiterating the potential absence of love in the relationship.
You say you need to lean on me
Restating the partner's need for support.
But can I too, lean on
Posing a question about the speaker's ability to seek support.
You say it's hard to carry on
Acknowledging the difficulty of continuing without love.
If you don't love me anymore
Repeating the theme of potential lack of love.
You say you need to lean on me
Reiterating the partner's need for support.
But can I too, lean on you
Prompting a question about the reciprocity of support.
