Lyrics
Loving can hurt, loving can hurt sometimes
Loving can be painful; it can hurt at times.
But it's the only thing that I know
Love is the only experience the singer is familiar with.
When it gets hard, you know it can get hard sometimes
In difficult times, love can become challenging.
It is the only thing makes us feel alive
Despite the challenges, love is the essence of feeling alive.
We keep this love in a photograph
Memories of love are preserved like photographs.
We made these memories for ourselves
The couple creates memories together.
Where our eyes are never closing
Their love is constant, with eyes that never close.
Hearts are never broken
Hearts remain unbroken in their love.
And time's forever frozen, still
Time seems frozen, capturing a perfect moment.
So you can keep me
The singer can be kept close by the partner.
Inside the pocket of your ripped jeans
The metaphor of being held in the pocket of jeans.
Holding me closer 'til our eyes meet
Being held closely until their eyes meet.
You won't ever be alone, wait for me to come home
Assurance that the partner won't be alone.
Loving can heal, loving can mend your soul
Love has the power to heal and mend the soul.
And it's the only thing that I know, know
Love is the singer's only certainty.
I swear it will get easier
Assurance that things will get easier.
Remember that with every piece of ya
Every piece of the partner is to be remembered.
Hmm, and it's the only thing we take with us when we die
Love is the only thing taken into the afterlife.
Hmm, we keep this love in a photograph
Continuation of the theme of preserving love like a photograph.
We made these memories for ourselves
More memories created for the couple.
Where our eyes are never closing
Reference to eternal moments with eyes that never close.
Hearts were never broken
Hearts remain unbroken in their eternal love.
And time's forever frozen, still
Time is frozen, capturing a perfect moment forever.
So you can keep me
The partner can be kept close.
Inside the pocket of your ripped jeans
Continuation of the metaphor of being held in a pocket.
Holding me closer 'til our eyes meet
Close moments until their eyes meet.
You won't ever be alone
Reassurance that the partner won't be alone.
And if you hurt me
If the partner hurts the singer, it's forgiven.
That's okay, baby, only words bleed
Words may hurt, but the love is resilient.
Inside these pages, you just hold me
Love is preserved within written pages.
And I won't ever let you go
The singer won't let the partner go.
Wait for me to come home
Repetition of the idea of waiting for the singer to come home.
Wait for me to come home
Reiteration of the theme of waiting for the partner.
Wait for me to come home
Further emphasis on the wait for the singer to return.
Wait for me to come home
Continued emphasis on the anticipation of the singer's return.
Oh, you can fit me
The singer can be symbolically kept inside a necklace.
Inside the necklace you got when you were sixteen
Reference to a significant necklace received at sixteen.
Next to your heartbeat where I should be
The singer belongs next to the partner's heartbeat.
Keep it deep within your soul
The essence of the singer is deeply embedded in the partner's soul.
And if you hurt me
If the partner hurts the singer, it's forgiven.
Well, that's okay, baby, only words bleed
Reiteration that words may hurt, but the love persists.
Inside these pages, you just hold me
Love is preserved within the pages, a metaphor for memories.
And I won't ever let you go
The singer won't let the partner go.
When I'm away, I will remember how you kissed me
Memories of the partner are cherished when the singer is away.
Under the lamppost back on Sixth street
A specific memory of a kiss under a lamppost is recalled.
Hearing you whisper through the phone
The partner's voice is remembered through a phone call.
"Wait for me to come home"
Reiteration of the theme, asking the partner to wait for the singer to come home.
