Love the One You're With
Embrace the Present Love: Jamie McLean Band's Message of Seizing the Moment
Lyrics
If you're down and confused
If you're feeling down and confused
and you don't remember who you're talking too
When you can't recall who you're talking to
concentration slips away
Your concentration slips away
cause you're baby is so far away
Because your baby is physically distant
chorus
Chorus (Refrain)
well there's a rose in the fisted glove
Symbolic imagery: A rose in a fisted glove
and eagle flies with the dove
Symbolic imagery: An eagle flies with the dove
and if you can't be with the one you love honey
If you can't be with your true love
love the one you're with
Love the one you're currently with
don't be angry - don't be sad
Advice: Don't be angry, don't be sad
don't sit crying over good times you've had
Don't dwell on past good times with sorrow
there's a girl right next to you
There's a girl nearby, don't miss her
and she's just waiting for something to do
She's waiting for something to do, be present
chorus
Chorus (Refrain)
doo doo doo doo
Repetition of vocalizations
turn your heartache right into joy
Turn your heartache into joy
cause she's a girl and you're a boy
Emphasizes gender contrast: She's a girl, you're a boy
get it together come on make it nice
Get yourself together, improve the situation
you ain't gonna need anymore advice
You won't need more advice
chorus
Chorus (Refrain)
doo doo doo doo
Repetition of vocalizations
