Red Rover
Courageous Love: Navigating Romance's Dance
Lyrics
Red rover red rover, send your love on over
Expressing a desire for the partner's love to come over.
I'm hangin on tight, just tryin to stay sober
Struggling to maintain sobriety, emphasizing a need for self-control.
So when I kiss you, I can kiss you right
Wanting to be in the right state to share a meaningful kiss.
Cause you keep on baitin, and I keep on waitin,
Partner's teasing or testing, causing anticipation and waiting.
For you to take me home tonight
Expressing a desire to be taken home by the partner that night.
Red rover red rover, I'll send my love over
Reversal of roles, now the speaker is sending love over.
I know you need courage, but I need you sober
Acknowledging the partner's need for courage but emphasizing sobriety.
So when you kiss me, you kiss me just right
Desiring the partner to kiss in the right manner.
Cause you keep on baitin, keeping me waitin,
Repeating the theme of anticipation and waiting for the partner.
For you to take me home tonight
Expressing the longing for the partner to take them home.
I thought we were too old to play this game
Reflecting on age and questioning the appropriateness of the situation.
I thought we were too young to care
Feeling conflicted about the significance of the relationship.
And here we are carrying on this way,
Acknowledging the continuation of certain behaviors despite expectations.
Some things hell they never change,
Acceptance of the enduring nature of certain aspects of the relationship.
So tonight let's both be brave
Encouraging bravery for both partners to face the situation.
A night full of flirtin, could lead to some hurtin
Recognizing the potential risks in the relationship but deeming it worthwhile.
It's a dangerous dance but I know you're worth it
Describing the relationship as a dangerous dance, highlighting its complexity.
Cause when you kiss me, you kiss me just right
Reiterating the importance of a well-executed kiss in the relationship.
No time left for baiting, yeah I'm done waiting
Declaring an end to waiting and expressing readiness to go home.
So take me home tonight
Reaffirming the desire to be taken home by the partner.
I thought we were too old to play this game
Revisiting the theme of age and its perceived impact on behavior.
I thought we were too young to care
Reiterating the internal conflict regarding the relationship's significance.
And here we are carrying on this way,
Observing the persistence of certain behaviors despite expectations.
Some things hell they never change,
Acknowledging the enduring nature of certain aspects of the relationship.
So tonight let's both be brave
Encouraging bravery for both partners to confront the situation.
