Falling Back
Embracing Love's Return: Navigating the Tumultuous Journey
Lyrics
And the stars came out of the skies
Describing a moment when stars became visible in the sky.
And the rain was hidden by the tears in your eyes
The rain is disguised by the tears in the eyes, suggesting emotional turmoil.
And falling back is hard to do
Expressing difficulty in moving backward or regressing.
When it's falling back in love with you
Specifically challenging to fall back in love with someone.
You know the lamp post understands
Acknowledging that a streetlamp can't reveal inner thoughts.
That you cannot look inside a man
Emphasizing the challenge of understanding someone deeply.
But falling back is hard to do
Reiterating the difficulty of regressing emotionally.
When it's falling back in love with you
Specifically, falling back in love with the person addressed.
I don't mind your wishing games
Accepting playful or wishful thinking as long as it avoids sadness.
Long as I can keep from feeling blue
As long as the speaker can avoid feeling down or depressed.
Your mama's rich, I can tell by the way she walks
Observation about the addressee's mother's wealth, possibly implying social differences.
And I don't care about anything but you
Expressing a singular focus and value on the person being addressed.
So put your coat on, step outside
Suggesting preparation for a spontaneous night drive.
The car's gassed up for a midnight ride
Car ready for a late-night adventure.
And falling back is hard to do
Repeating the challenge of going back emotionally.
When it's falling back in love with you
Emphasizing the difficulty in falling back in love with the person.
So I'll light another cigarette
Creating a relaxed atmosphere with a cigarette, observing the person's sleep.
Watch you as you tumble in your sleep
Watching the person peacefully sleep despite knowing them for a long time.
I've known you forever but it feels like we just met
Although familiar for a long time, the relationship feels fresh and new.
And look at here, my heart is yours to keep
Offering the heart to the person being addressed.
And the stars came out of the skies
Repetition of the starry night and tears in the eyes, emphasizing a poignant moment.
And the rain was hidden by the tears in your eyes
Reiteration of a previously described emotional scene.
And falling back is hard to do
Restating the challenge of going back emotionally.
When it's falling back in love with you
Re-emphasizing the difficulty of falling back in love with the person.
