Setback
Love's Resilience: Overcoming Setbacks in Relationships
Lyrics
There's something different bout the look that's in your eyes
Observing a change in the expression in the partner's eyes.
There's something missing in the way you said goodnight
Noticing a lack of sincerity in the way the partner said goodbye.
As though you're falling in and out of love
Suggesting a fluctuating emotional state, possibly in the context of love.
Am I the only one that sees through all your lies?
Questioning whether the speaker is the only one who sees through the partner's deceit.
Back in with my back against the wall
Feeling cornered or in a difficult situation.
Higher then but further for to fall
Had a higher position before, but there's a greater risk of a significant fall.
I've been living so long this way
Long-term endurance in a challenging situation.
Hanging on your every beck and call
Dependence on the partner's every command and request.
Living like a pillar made of salt
Living in a rigid and unchanging way, like a pillar of salt.
Love I'll never go on this way
Expressing a reluctance to continue in the current manner.
But you can put your head back
Encouraging the partner to relax or let go of worries.
And you can put the black dress on
Suggesting an opportunity to dress up and embrace a positive change.
It's nothing but a Setback
Referring to a setback, possibly in the relationship, as a temporary obstacle.
And we can make it last til dawn
Optimism about overcoming the setback and making the positive moment last.
And we can get the love back
Recalling a time when the love between the partners was strong.
Remember when it was so strong
Expressing a desire to revive the strength of the past love.
And we can get the love back
Reiterating the intention to restore the love that once existed.
And we can get the love back
Emphasizing the commitment to rebuilding the love.
You got me wishing that I just could turn back time
Regretting and wishing for the ability to reverse time.
I'm superstitious but I just can't read the signs
Admitting to superstition but struggling to interpret signs in the relationship.
I'm blind to all the writing on the wall
Being oblivious to warning signs or messages about the relationship.
And though I listen love I just can't read your mind
Despite listening, unable to understand the partner's thoughts or feelings.
Faded like an echo in the hall
Comparing the fading of love to an echo disappearing in the distance.
Pride they say will come before the fall
Reflecting on the concept that pride precedes a downfall.
Love how can we go on this way?
Questioning how love can continue in the face of challenges.
Back in with my back against the wall
Repeating a sense of feeling trapped or cornered.
Living like a pillar made of salt
Living in a static and unchanging way, akin to a pillar of salt.
Love I'll never go on this way
Expressing a reluctance to persist in the current situation.
