Somewhere Between Right and Wrong
Love's Crossroads: Navigating the Space Between Right and Wrong
Lyrics
Well, I met in a small town bar not far from home
Introduction of meeting in a small town bar, setting the scene
She was having second thoughts about a man who was always gone
The woman is reconsidering her relationship with a frequently absent man
Said the only way to get to him was a telephone
She can only reach him by phone, emphasizing distance and communication challenges
So she held on to me when she couldn't hold her own
She seeks support from the narrator when she is emotionally struggling
She said I can be had but I can't be bought
Her character is described as available but not easily influenced by material things
And I can be bad, Lord, if I don't get caught
She acknowledges the potential for mischief but prefers genuine love over deceit
But I'd rather be loved than left alone
Expresses a preference for love and companionship over solitude
Than be here in the middle somewhere between right and wrong
Choosing love even if it means being in a morally ambiguous situation
She said you know I never was the kind to spread it around
She is not inclined to gossip but wants reliability in the relationship
But I'll let you get to me as long as you don't let me down
Allows vulnerability as long as the narrator doesn't disappoint
Said I got the kind of love it takes to make if feel slow
Claims to possess a deep, slow-burning love
But don't care how you get me there just long as I go
Indifferent to the method as long as the destination of love is reached
She said I can be had but I can't be bought
Reiteration of her character being available but not easily swayed by material gains
And I can be bad, Lord, if I don't get caught
Acknowledges the potential for misbehavior if not caught
But I'd rather be loved than left alone
Reaffirms the preference for genuine love and companionship
Than be here in the middle somewhere between right and wrong
Choosing love despite being in a morally gray area
Yeah, her kind of love keeps me coming back time after time
Describes the woman's love as captivating and habit-forming
Just like a beautiful song I can't get off my mind
Compares her love to a beautiful, unforgettable song
But I worry a lot about love you have to wait on
Expresses concern about waiting for love and the challenges of a distant partner
And I got second thoughts about a woman that's always gone
Doubts about a relationship with a woman who is frequently absent
She said I can be had but I can't be bought
Reiteration of her character being available but not easily influenced by material gains
And I can be bad, Lord, if I don't get caught
Acknowledges the potential for misbehavior if not caught
But I'd rather be loved than left alone
Reaffirms the preference for genuine love and companionship
Than be here in the middle somewhere between right and wrong
Choosing love despite being in a morally gray area
