Lovin' You Again
Rediscovering Love Amidst Turmoil
Lyrics
You call me from a phone booth with tears in your voice
You contact me from a phone booth, expressing distress in your voice
Tell me you've been out all night runnin' with the boys
You inform me that you've been out all night, socializing with friends
You say you're cold and tired and lonely
You describe feeling cold, tired, and lonely with nowhere to go
And you got no place to go
You emphasize having no specific destination
There wasn't any phonebook
No phonebook was available, and my number is the only one you know
Mine's the only number that you know
Highlighting exclusivity, my number is the sole contact you have
Well call yourself a taxi and I'll pay 'I'm at the door
Suggesting you call a taxi, promising to cover the cost, and offering space at the door
If you don't mind sleepin' on the sofa or on the floor
If you don't mind, you can sleep on the sofa or floor
And I spend an hour hatin' you
Expressing an hour of resentment towards you
'Til the cab pulls in
Feelings change when the cab arrives
My heart has found another way
My heart finds a new way to love you again
To be loving you again
And every time is the last time
Each interaction is perceived as both the last and first time
And every time is the first
Highlighting the cyclical nature of the relationship
Everytime is the last time with you
Every encounter is treated as if it's the final one with you
Oh it never gets no better
Emphasizing that it doesn't improve
And it couldn't get no wore
Stating that it couldn't get any worse
Then I hear the footsteps the driver's at the door
Hearing the approaching footsteps of the taxi driver
He says I look familiar has he made this run before
The driver recognizes familiarity, questioning if this has happened before
And I tell him I don't think so
Denying recognition, questioning its relevance
What's it matter anyway
Dismissive attitude toward the situation
Just tell me what the meter reads
Requesting the meter reading to settle the fare
And I'll go and get your pay
Committing to fetch the payment
Well now it's down to you and me though it don't seem right
Reduced to just you and me, acknowledging it feels wrong
We both know where we'll be and what we'll do tonight
Acknowledging the predictable outcome of the night
And after an hour or two
After spending time together, when the night concludes
When the night comes to an end
My heart discovers another way to love you again
My heart has found another way
To be lovin' you again
-And every time is the last time
Reiterating the cyclic and ambiguous nature of the relationship
And every time is the first
Everytime is the last time with you
-Oh it never gets no better
Underlining that improvement is unlikely
And it couldn't get no worse
Asserting that the situation can't deteriorate further
I know that there should be more to say I'll just reed your mind
Acknowledging a need for more words, but opting to understand each other non-verbally
Let's save what's left unsaid for another time
Suggesting that unspoken words can be saved for another time
'Cause I know there'll be another time
Anticipating future occasions to address unsaid matters
So until then
Delaying further discussion until later
My heart has found another way
My heart discovers yet another way to love you again
To be lovin' you again
My heart has found another way
-To be lovin' you again
-Oh, my heart has found another way
-To be lovin' you again
