I Won't Fall Apart on You Tonight
Embracing Change: I Won't Break Tonight
Lyrics
You and me could go on and on and on
You and the speaker could continue their relationship indefinitely.
But it's not enough to not get along
However, mere coexistence without harmony is insufficient.
And when you see my face and you see it's changed
When you observe the speaker's changed expression.
And you can't replace, no, the years we can't rearrange
You cannot substitute or alter the years that have passed.
I'll move on, but ? tonight
The speaker will move on, but something is unclear for tonight.
I don't know what tomorrow may bring
The uncertainty of what the future holds.
I won't fall apart on you tonight
The speaker commits not to emotionally collapse this night.
But don't know what tomorrow may bring
Reiteration of uncertainty about the future.
What could have been is a sad old song
The potential of a better relationship is a melancholic theme.
One I don't sing and won't hum along
The speaker refuses to engage in nostalgia or dwell on missed opportunities.
There's nothing new and that's nothing bad
Nothing is novel, but that's not the purpose of their interaction.
It's just the same, but that's not what we came here to say or to do
The focus is on something other than the mundane.
I'll move on, but ? tonight
Reiteration of the speaker moving on, but ambiguity about tonight.
But don't know what tomorrow may bring
Continued uncertainty regarding the future.
I won't fall apart on you tonight
Commitment not to emotionally collapse on this night.
But don't know what tomorrow may bring
Reiteration of uncertainty about the future.
Outside in the wind and rain
External conditions of wind and rain impact the speaker.
My hands are wet and I can't explain
The speaker's hands are wet, and an explanation is elusive.
Why there's nothing wrong with long goodbyes
Long goodbyes are acceptable if emotions are controlled.
If we could only keep our mouths and our eyes dry
Keeping emotions restrained is challenging.
You and me could go on and on and on
Repetition of the idea of a continuous relationship with challenges.
But it's not enough to not get along
Struggles in the relationship are not resolved by persistence alone.
And when you see my face and you see it's changed
Reiteration of the changed appearance of the speaker.
You can't replace, no the years, we can't rearrange
Years gone by cannot be substituted or rearranged.
I'll move on, but ? tonight
Speaker's commitment to moving on, but ambiguity about tonight.
But don't know what tomorrow may bring
Continued uncertainty regarding the future.
I won't fall apart on you tonight
Commitment not to emotionally collapse on this night.
But don't know what tomorrow may bring
Reiteration of uncertainty about the future.
I won't fall apart on you tonight
Final assurance that the speaker won't emotionally collapse tonight.
I won't fall apart on you tonight
Reiteration of the commitment not to fall apart emotionally tonight.
