All of the Good Ones Are Taken
Lost Love Chronicles: All the Good Ones Are Taken
Lyrics
Girl, things ain't been goin' too good for me
Expressing difficulties and challenges in life.
Girl, I'm living in the middle of a mystery
Describing a life filled with uncertainty and unanswered questions.
You're the one that can turn me on
Addressing someone as a source of joy and inspiration.
'N' now that you're gone
Reflecting on the absence of the person and the impact it has.
I said Girl, I'm livin' in the middle of your memory
Living within the memories of the person.
Girl, you're still the figure in my favorite fantasy
Highlighting the person's role in fantasies and imagination.
I know you know that's the way it goes
Acknowledging the inevitability of life's ups and downs.
And still my love grows
Expressing enduring love despite challenges.
I said all o' the good all o' the good ones are taken
Stating the unavailability of desirable partners.
All o' the good all o' the good ones are taken
Reiterating the idea that quality partners are already taken.
I'm hangin' around with my head in the air
Describing a sense of aimlessness or confusion in life.
Watchin' the lovers go by
Observing other people's relationships while feeling detached.
I had a lover, but she never cared
Recalling a past lover who didn't reciprocate feelings.
All you could say was goodbye
Highlighting the pain of a past relationship ending.
Maybe I was mistaken, maybe I got it wrong
Considering the possibility of misunderstanding or misjudgment.
But all of the good ones are taken from now on
Asserting the scarcity of available good partners from now on.
'N' girl, I'm livin' in the middle of a broken dream
Living amidst the aftermath of a shattered dream.
I said girl all this fallin' in love ain't like it seems
Expressing disillusionment with the reality of falling in love.
Out in the rain can't you feel my pain
Using rain as a metaphor for emotional pain and distress.
Again 'n' again 'n' again 'n' again 'n' again
Emphasizing repeated experiences of pain and heartbreak.
All of the good all o' the good ones are taken
Reiterating the idea that desirable partners are already taken.
Maybe I was mistaken, maybe I got it wrong
Reflecting on the possibility of misunderstanding in the past.
But all of the good ones are taken in my song
Affirming the theme that good partners are not available.
