Monday Morning
Chasing Love's Rhythms: Fleetwood Mac's Monday Morning Reflection
Lyrics
Monday morning you sure look fine
Expressing admiration for someone's appearance on Monday morning.
Friday I got travelin' on my mind
Anticipating travel or a journey on Friday.
First you love me and then you fade away
Describing a cycle of love and subsequent fading away.
I can't go on believin' this way
Expressing doubt and an inability to continue believing in the relationship.
I got nothing but love for you
Affirming a genuine love for the person mentioned.
Tell me what you really want to do
Seeking clarity on the other person's true intentions.
First you love me, then you get on down the line
Describing a pattern of love followed by moving on.
But I don't mind, I don't mind, yeah
Expressing acceptance and a lack of resentment.
I'll be there if you want me to
Committing to be there if the person wants support.
No one else that could ever do
Claiming uniqueness in providing the needed companionship.
Got to get some peace in my mind
Expressing a need for mental tranquility.
Monday morning you sure look fine
Reiterating admiration for the person's appearance on Monday.
Friday I got travelin' on my mind
Revisiting the idea of travel or a journey on Friday.
First you love me and then you say it's wrong
Describing a conflicting situation where love is expressed but considered wrong.
You know I can't go on believing for long
Expressing the difficulty of maintaining belief in the relationship.
But you know it's true
Acknowledging the truth that the person desires only after separation.
You only want me when I get over you
Highlighting the realization that the person wants them only when moved on from.
First you love me, then you get on down the line
Describing the repetitive pattern of love followed by moving on.
But I don't mind, no, I don't mind, yeah
Reaffirming acceptance and lack of resentment despite the pattern.
I'll be there if you want me to
Reiterating the commitment to be there if needed.
No one else that could ever do
Asserting the uniqueness of their support compared to others.
Got to get some peace in my mind
Stressing the need for inner peace.
But you know it's true
Restating the realization that they are desired only after moving on.
You know you only want me when I get over you
Affirming the cyclical nature of the person's interest.
First you love me, then you get on down the line
Repeating the pattern of love followed by moving on.
But I don't mind, no, I don't mind, yeah
Reaffirming acceptance and lack of resentment despite the repetition.
I'll be there if you want me to
Committing once again to be there if the person wants support.
No one else that could ever do
Reiterating the claim of being irreplaceable in providing support.
Got to get some peace in my mind
Emphasizing the ongoing need for inner peace.
