Million Times
Eternal Struggle: Love's Endless Wars in Fiddlehead's 'Million Times'
Lyrics
Come home and fail with me to see that we are wrong
Come home and fail with me to acknowledge our mistakes.
To try and try for love we've had since we were young
Persisting in the pursuit of love since our youth.
Back to acne-high-school-drama, cataclysmic sweethearts
Reflecting on past teenage challenges and intense romantic experiences.
All throughout twenty-something soap-operas, failed to be peacefully apart
Struggling to peacefully separate in our twenties.
Come back
Expressing a desire for a return.
Come back for our millionth try
Inviting a partner back for another attempt, emphasizing persistence.
Come back
Reiterating the call for a return.
Come back one more million times
Asking for countless additional attempts to make the relationship work.
What's love if not a war for peace that never ends?
Questioning the nature of love as an ongoing struggle for enduring peace.
The casualty is if we end up just as friends
Highlighting the potential negative outcome of ending up as mere friends.
Alone and low at home, alone
Expressing feelings of loneliness and despair at home.
Come back
Repeating the plea for a return, emphasizing the millionth attempt.
Come back for our millionth try
Reiterating the call for a return, emphasizing persistence.
Come back
Again, asking for countless additional attempts to reconcile.
Come back one more million times
Expressing a desire for numerous additional chances.
How do I say goodbye?
Pondering the difficulty of parting.
How do I say goodbye?
Repeating the question of how to bid farewell.
How do I say goodbye
Reiterating the challenge of saying goodbye.
To a love I've loved so wild?
Expressing the intense and untamed nature of the love being parted from.
A million times
Repeating the idea of attempting reconciliation numerous times.
A million times
Emphasizing the repetitive nature of attempting to mend the relationship.
A million times
Continuing to stress the repetition of efforts in reconciling.
A million times
Reiterating the theme of countless attempts to make amends.
Come home and fail with me to see that we are wrong
Repeating the initial call to return and face failure together.
To try and try for love we've had since we were young
Persisting in the pursuit of love since youth, reiterating the theme of trying.
