Please
Growing Old Together: Elton John's Poetic Journey of Love and Resilience
Lyrics
We've been crippled in love, short changed, hung out to dry
We've experienced hardships in love, received less than deserved, and left abandoned.
We've chalked on the walls a slogan or two about life
We've expressed our thoughts about life on the walls, possibly indicating struggles and reflections.
Stood dazed in the doorway, the king and queen of clowns
Feeling confused and foolish, as if playing the roles of king and queen of clowns in a dramatic situation.
We've been flipped like a coin, both of us landing face-down
We've faced uncertainty, like a coin tossed, and both ended up in a difficult situation.
So please, please, let me grow old with you
Plea to grow old together, expressing a desire for enduring companionship.
After everything we've been through, what's left to prove
Considering the challenges faced, questioning the need for further validation or proof in the relationship.
so please, please, please, oh please let me grow old with you
Reiteration of the plea to grow old together, emphasizing its importance.
We've been living with sorrow, been up, down and all around
We've endured sorrow, facing ups and downs in life.
We've buried our feelings a little too deep in the ground
Our emotions have been buried deeply, possibly as a coping mechanism.
Stood dazed in the doorway, the king and queen of clowns
Recurrence of the feeling of confusion and foolishness, symbolized by the king and queen of clowns.
We've been flipped like a coin, both of us landing face-down
Reiteration of the metaphor of uncertainty, both partners landing in challenging situations.
So please, please, let me grow old with you
Repetition of the plea for enduring companionship, emphasizing the desire to grow old together.
After everything we've been through, what's left to prove
Reflecting on the shared experiences, questioning the necessity of further validation.
so please, please, please, oh please let me grow old with you
Re-emphasizing the plea to grow old together, underscoring its significance.
But tied to the same track, the two of us look back
Feeling stuck in a similar situation, looking back at the challenges faced together.
At oncoming trains ahead
Anticipating challenges ahead, likened to oncoming trains on the same track.
How many more times can we lay on the line
Pondering the fragility of their love, questioning how much more strain it can endure.
Watching our love hang by a thread
Describing the relationship as hanging by a thread, emphasizing its vulnerability.
So please, please, let me grow old with you
Repetition of the plea for enduring companionship, expressing the desire to grow old together.
After everything we've been through, what's left to prove
Reflecting on shared experiences, questioning the need for additional proof in the relationship.
so please, please, please, oh please let me grow old with you
Reiteration of the plea to grow old together, highlighting its importance.
Please, please, oh please let me grow old with you
Final plea for enduring companionship, expressing a deep desire to grow old together.
