Love Across the Line
Love's Journey: A Melodic Tale of Connection and Distance
Lyrics
Two a.m. in Austin that truck
It's 2 a.m. in Austin, and a particular truck is catching the singer's attention.
Stop looks promising
The stop or situation seems full of promise and potential.
But don't they all
The singer reflects that such stops often appear promising but may not always fulfill expectations.
That Silver Eagle's slowing down
A Silver Eagle, presumably a type of bus or vehicle, is slowing down.
Maybe there'll be time enough to call
The singer hopes there might be time to make a call because of this slowing down.
I don't want to wake him
The singer hesitates to disturb someone by calling at this hour.
But if I wait later then
Delaying the call further might cause the singer to miss an opportunity.
I'll miss my chance
The singer is worried about missing the chance to communicate.
I just want to hear his voice
The singer desires to hear the recipient's voice.
I've just got to know he understands
The singer needs assurance that the recipient comprehends their feelings.
I send my love across the line
The singer expresses sending love to the recipient across the distance.
The road leads back to us
The road signifies the journey of life that leads the singer back to their loved one.
Until then I send my love across the line
Despite the distance, the singer continues to send their love.
I wish that I could be there to show him
The singer wishes to physically be there to demonstrate affection.
That he is where I'd rather be
The singer expresses a longing to be with the recipient rather than elsewhere.
But for now these words along the wire
Words conveyed through technology (wire) substitute for the singer's presence.
Will have to take the place of me
The singer ponders whether people truly understand the choices they make that drive their lives.
I wonder if we ever know
Contemplation on the reasons behind life choices and directions.
The reasons why we take the roads
Reflection on what truly matters, the people left behind while pursuing journeys.
That drive us on
The essential importance of loved ones left at home while one ventures out.
When all that really matters
(Empty line in lyrics)
Are the ones we always leave behind at home
Reiteration of sending love despite physical distance.
I send my love across the line
Continuation of expressing affection sent across the distance.
The road leads back to us
The journey of life will eventually lead the singer back to their loved one.
Until then I send my love across the line
Despite the separation, the singer persistently sends love.
The road leads back to us
The path taken in life ultimately leads back to the relationship.
Until then I send my love across the line
Continued expression of sending love despite the physical distance.
