As Long as We Both Know
Unveiling Love's Turmoil: As Long as Truth Unfolds
Lyrics
If I'd only had the courage
If only I had the courage to speak up from the beginning
To speak up from the start
Expressing regret for not addressing issues from the start
If I'd only tried to cool down
If only I had attempted to calm down and control my jealousy
Restrain my jealous heart
Recognizing the need to restrain a jealous heart
But the more I found out about her
Discovering more about the person, making it difficult to take action
The harder that was done
Describing the challenging nature of the revealed information
Now life is catching me painfully on the run
Life's consequences are now catching up painfully while on the run
As long as we both know
Highlighting the importance of mutual awareness and understanding
As long as you have the right to go
Acknowledging the partner's right to leave and the corresponding right to know
I feel the right to know
Expressing the belief in having the right to know about the partner's actions
As long as this love lasts
Emphasizing the duration of love and the conditions attached to it
As long as I can forget the past
Linking the ability to forget the past with the longevity of love
This love can everlast
Asserting the potential everlasting nature of the mentioned love
Forever last
Stressing the idea of love lasting forever
You and I - and me and you
Describing the relationship dynamics between "You and I" and "Me and You"
Was all I thought I had
Realizing that the perceived connection is all that was thought to be had
On a breezy frozen morning
Setting the emotional tone with a description of a painful moment
Wounded so bad
Expressing emotional wounds suffered during a frozen morning
Up until that moment
Up to a certain point, everything was believed to be fine
I thought everything was fine
A moment of realization where a fundamental truth about life surfaces
Now a truth of life's exploding in my mind
The impact of a life truth exploding in the mind
As long as we both know
Reiterating the importance of mutual awareness and understanding in a relationship
As long as you have the right to go
Acknowledging the partner's right to leave and the corresponding right to know (repeated)
I feel the right to know
Expressing the belief in having the right to know about the partner's actions (repeated)
As long as this love lasts
Emphasizing the duration of love and the conditions attached to it (repeated)
As long as I can forget the past
Linking the ability to forget the past with the longevity of love (repeated)
This love can everlast
Asserting the potential everlasting nature of the mentioned love (repeated)
Forever last
Stressing the idea of love lasting forever (repeated)
