Love and a Riot
Love and a Riot: Embracing Memories in the Chaos of Regret
Lyrics
Sally's sitting there
Sally is currently seated
Crying all by herself
Sally is weeping in solitude
She's trying to hold on
She is attempting to endure
But Jack doesn't know
Jack is unaware of her struggle
She's trying to picture
Sally is envisioning life without Jack
Her life without him
She struggles to recall her life before Jack
But she can't remember
Memory loss regarding life before Jack
Her life before him
She can't remember her pre-Jack life
We're the last ones left
They are the only ones remaining
In our world full of regrets
In a world filled with regrets
I wish we could go back
Desire to return to a meaningful past
To when we meant something
Yearning for a time when they mattered
I ask for you to believe
Request for belief even in departure
Even as you plan to leave
Despite planning to leave
Our memories they burn
Memories evoke intense emotions
Like a love and a riot
Symbolizing the intensity of love and chaos
She’s been taking her time
Sally taking time to comprehend the issues
To understand what went wrong
Understanding the deterioration
He’s a shadow of the man
Jack is a diminished version of himself
She once used to love
No longer the person she loved
He picks up his things
Jack collects his belongings
And walks out the door
Leaves the relationship
Trying to make sense
Attempting to make sense of the issues
Of the things that went wrong
Understanding the reasons for the failure
We're the last ones left
Last ones remaining in a regret-filled world
In our world full of regrets
Surrounded by remorse and longing
I wish we could go back
Desire to revisit a meaningful past
To when we meant something
Yearning for significance in the past
I ask for you to believe
Request for belief despite impending departure
Even as you plan to leave
Even as the plan to leave unfolds
Our memories they burn
Memories are intense, akin to a love and chaos
Like a love and a riot
Symbolic burning of memories
And now Sally’s all alone
Sally is now isolated
She can’t reach him on the phone
Unable to contact Jack
Her life’s falling apart
Sally's life is unraveling, seemingly predetermined
Like its all set in stone
Fate feels inevitable
Jack’s got the papers
Jack possesses separation papers
But he can’t find a way
Struggling to find a resolution
The kids are standing by
Kids are hopeful for Jack's stay
They hope they’ll make him stay
The children wish for family continuity
We're the last ones left
Last survivors in a regret-filled world
In our world full of regrets
Navigating a world filled with remorse
I wish we could go back
Desire to return to a meaningful past
To when we meant something
Longing for a time when they mattered
I ask for you to believe
Request for belief despite impending departure
Even as you plan to leave
Even as the plan to leave unfolds
Our memories they burn
Memories are intense, akin to a love and chaos
Like a love and a riot
Symbolic burning of memories
