Love Comes from the Other Side of Town
Seeking Love Beyond Familiar Walls
Lyrics
When things get bad at home, you don't feel like being alone,
When facing difficulties in the home, the desire to avoid loneliness arises.
And you find yourself inclined to look around.
The inclination to explore other options or relationships surfaces.
For the feelings we once shared are just no longer there,
Shared feelings from the past are no longer present or relevant.
And love comes from the other side of town.
Love is now sought from a different location, suggesting a change or shift in the source of affection.
Where love means just an hour with your stand in,
Love in this context is transient, possibly referring to a temporary connection with someone else.
And not an empty house where love just has been.
Contrasting the emptiness of a house where love has faded with a more fleeting, but fulfilling, encounter.
Since everything we've built with love was not on solid ground,
Previous relationships were not built on a stable foundation, leading to their dissolution.
Now love comes from the other side of town.
Love is now sought from a different place due to the instability of past connections.
The life I'm livin' now just don't seem right somehow,
The current lifestyle doesn't feel right, but it is seen as the best coping mechanism available.
But it's the best way to get by that I've found.
Adapting to the circumstances and making the best out of the situation.
There's no love left at home, we're both just hangin' on,
Both partners in the home are holding on without genuine love or affection.
And love comes from the other side of town.
Love is now sought from an external source, indicating a detachment from the original relationship.
Where love means just an hour with your stand in,
Reiteration of the temporary nature of love from an alternate source.
And not an empty house where love just has been.
Contrasting a fleeting connection with a stand-in to the emptiness of a home devoid of love.
Since everything we've built with love was not on solid ground,
Highlighting the instability of past relationships built on love.
Now love comes from the other side of town.
Seeking love from a different place due to the shaky foundations of previous connections.
Love comes from the other side of town
Reaffirmation that love is now found in a different location, emphasizing the theme of seeking affection elsewhere.
