People Change
Embracing Change: Jacob Browne's Melodic Tale of Love's Resilience
Lyrics
What would you say if I loved you
Expressing a hypothetical scenario, asking for a reaction if love is professed
Would you believe in my words
Questioning the credibility and acceptance of the spoken words
Could you and me be together
Pondering the possibility of a lasting relationship between the speaker and the listener
Forever
Desiring a connection that lasts indefinitely
In a dream
Describing the enduring nature of the connection as if it were a dream
Cos people change like the weather
Comparing the fickleness of people to changing weather
I hold your heart like a feather
Portraying the fragility of the listener's heart, held gently by the speaker
When it rains
Symbolizing challenges or difficult times with rain
Your pains
Recognizing the listener's struggles and sorrows
Alone
Emphasizing solitude during tough times
Cos I wont change like the weather
Declaring the speaker's commitment to remain consistent, unlike changing weather
Wont come a day without flowers
Promising a continuous presence with a metaphor of flowers every day
Its easy to stay when your safe
Highlighting the ease of maintaining a relationship in secure circumstances
Don't hide your scars in your tower
Encouraging openness about emotional wounds instead of hiding them in isolation
Let me walk you home
Offering support and companionship in difficult times
Cos people change like the weather
Reiterating the theme of people changing, holding the listener's heart delicately
I hold your heart like a feather
Continuing the metaphor of the heart as a feather during rainy, challenging moments
When it rains
Repeating the symbolism of rain to represent hardships
Your pains
Acknowledging and empathizing with the listener's pains during adversity
Alone
Reiterating the theme of facing challenges alone
But I wont change like the weather
Emphasizing the speaker's commitment to remain steadfast in the face of adversity
Would you notice me
Posing a question about whether the listener would notice the speaker's presence
On this empty street
Describing a lonely street, possibly symbolizing emotional emptiness
Would you walk right by my side
Asking if the listener would walk alongside in challenging times
Cos people change like the weather
Reiterating the theme of people changing, comparing it to unpredictable weather
And I hold your heart like a feather
Continuing to hold the listener's heart gently even during metaphorical rain
When it rains
Symbolizing hardships with rain, acknowledging the listener's pains
Your pains
Expressing empathy for the listener's struggles and sorrows
All alone
Reiterating the theme of facing challenges alone
But I wont change like the weather
Affirming the speaker's commitment to remain constant despite life's difficulties
