Over Your Roof
Unveiling Love's Intricate Game: Over Your Roof by Frances Luke Accord
Lyrics
I laid the cards for you
I set the stage or made preparations for you.
It’s just a game you’ll lose
Engaging in this endeavor comes with the risk of losing.
You pick the one that suits
You choose the option that fits your situation.
And I’ll be soon to pull love up from under you
I will be quick to reveal or expose love from beneath you.
That part of love I knew
Referring to a specific aspect or experience of love that I understood.
You lift me up in faith
You inspire me with confidence or trust.
And I handed down this grace
I passed on this favor or kindness.
Whose hand will fold who knows?
Uncertain whose actions will lead to disappointment.
A fool will find a way
A foolish person will find a way to ignore errors and not follow through.
To overlook mistakes and never follow through
Overlooking mistakes and lacking commitment.
If I ever felt this sake
If I ever experienced this particular situation or emotion.
I’d make your birthday cake
If I felt similarly, I would celebrate your birthday with a cake.
I’d have a reason to
I would have a reason to do something special.
That part of love I knew
Referring again to a specific aspect or experience of love that I knew.
Inside your house that day
On a particular day within your home.
Over your roof I flew
I passed above your roof during that time.
And on your couch that night
And on your couch that night.
It only stayed that way
However, the situation remained unchanged or static.
My, my impatience has a way of looking blue
My impatience tends to appear sad or regretful.
I could not love you true
I couldn't genuinely love you.
And that’s how love remains
This is the enduring nature of love.
Don’t think I betrayed you
Assuring that I did not betray or deceive you.
I laid the cards for you
Repeating the idea of making preparations or setting the stage for you.
It’s just a game you’ll lose
Reiterating that engaging in this endeavor carries the risk of losing.
You pick the one that suits
You select the option that fits your situation.
And I’ll be soon to pull love up from under you
I will soon reveal or expose love from beneath you again.
That part of love I knew
Referring once more to a specific aspect or experience of love that I knew.
