Love You Until Then
Love's Redemption: A Journey of Loss and Longing
Lyrics
Another night has come and gone
Reflecting on the passing of another night.
People played till they lost their tough
People engaged in activities until they lost their resilience or strength.
Someone asked about you as they threw their cup on the lawn
Someone inquired about you, expressing emotions by throwing a cup on the lawn.
I said you're gone and the thought of you sobered me up
Conveying your absence and the impact it has on sobriety.
I clutched the necklace you got me
Holding onto a necklace you received, symbolizing a connection.
And tangled it up into my palm
Tangling the necklace in your palm, possibly representing emotional complexity.
That's what I get for gripping so tightly
A consequence of holding onto things too tightly.
I'm always ruining things the tighter I try hold on
Recognizing a pattern of ruining things when trying to hold on tightly.
I blame myself for what I lost
Taking responsibility for personal losses.
And I blame you for just the same
Attributing some blame to the person who is gone.
I'll blame the bottle for poorly connecting the dots
Blaming a bottle for contributing to confusion or misjudgments.
I'm seeing spots
Experiencing disorientation or dizziness, metaphorically represented as seeing spots.
Where I used to see your name
Noticing a change in perception, from associating spots with the person's name.
Oh what I would do for you to love me
Expressing a longing for love in a specific way.
The way that I want
Desiring a reciprocal love matching personal expectations.
The things I'd do for to need me way at the front of your mind
Willingness to do whatever it takes to be at the forefront of the person's thoughts.
I know you're lonely sometimes
Acknowledging loneliness, both personal and shared.
We both get lonely sometimes
Recognizing the universality of loneliness in both individuals.
One day we'll work it out
Anticipating resolution and reconciliation in the future.
We'll deserve this all again
Believing that both parties will deserve to experience love again.
I'll learn forgiveness, you'll learn how to let go of your doubts
Envisioning personal growth and overcoming doubts through forgiveness and letting go.
And I think that I'll love you until then
Expressing a commitment to love the person until the anticipated resolution.
I'll love you until then
Restating the enduring commitment to love until resolution is achieved.
