Crying Over Milk
Navigating Love's Maze: Crying Over Milk by Ellen McNeill
Lyrics
Oh, love can you say?
Questioning the nature of love and seeking clarity.
Cause I'm finding it hard
Expressing difficulty or challenges in the current situation.
Is this the beginning of the end
Pondering whether the current state marks the start of a decline.
Or the end of the start?
Considering if the current situation is the end of a beginning.
You make my heart whole
Acknowledging the positive impact of love on the heart.
But you're making this hole in my heart
Highlighting the paradox of love causing emotional pain.
Is this the beginning of the end
Repeating the uncertainty about the relationship's trajectory.
Or the end of the start?
Reiterating the ambiguity of whether it's the end or a new phase.
Cause we're fighting over dishes and we're crying over milk
Describing trivial conflicts symbolized by household chores.
I know love is not easy but should it be this difficult?
Questioning the level of difficulty in a relationship.
We're in a phase like the moon
Comparing the relationship phase to the changing moon.
Counting the days until it's new
Counting time until a new phase, possibly a positive change.
Hoping that wishing on stars isn't going too far
Expressing hope in wishes but questioning their effectiveness.
Cause the rest feels of no use
Expressing a sense of futility in the rest of the relationship.
When we're fighting over dishes and we're crying over milk
Repeating the theme of conflicts and questioning the difficulty of love.
I know love is not easy but should it be this difficult?
Reiterating the inquiry into the challenging nature of love.
Oh, I want to run with you
Expressing a desire to be with the partner despite stumbling.
But were just stumbling on through
Acknowledging challenges in the relationship journey.
Oh what a heart in love will do
Reflecting on the powerful impact of love on emotions.
I'd swim to the moon and back for you
Symbolic commitment to go to great lengths for the relationship.
If it meant our wishes would come true
Connecting commitment with the hope for wishes to come true.
But we're fighting over dishes and we're crying over milk
Repeating the theme of conflicts and questioning the difficulty of love.
I know love is not easy but should it be this difficult?
Reiterating the inquiry into the challenging nature of love.
Oh, if I searched the world for a better man
Exploring the possibility of finding a better partner.
I would return with two empty hands
Emphasizing the uniqueness and irreplaceability of the current partner.
You're irreplaceable, I'll admit...
Acknowledging the partner's significance and commitment.
You are the reason why I'll never quit
Stating that the partner is the reason for not giving up on the relationship.
You make my heart whole
Reiterating the positive impact of love on the heart.
But you're making this hole in my heart
Highlighting the emotional pain caused by love.
Is this the beginning of the end
Repeating the uncertainty about the relationship's trajectory.
Or the end of the start?
Reiterating the ambiguity of whether it's the end or a new phase.
