Till I Get It Right
Eternal Longing: Unveiling the Heartfelt Story in Joan Osborne's 'Till I Get It Right'
Lyrics
Do you think about the days when we were in love
Reflecting on past moments of love.
When I whispered word to send us both to heaven
Recalling intimate moments that held a heavenly quality.
Now I'll press a kiss but I know it doesn't move you
Expressing a gesture of affection, though realizing its lack of impact.
But oh, I just can't seem to let it go
Struggling to move on despite the emotional difficulty.
Dead letters with words that are no longer true
Highlighting the existence of messages no longer truthful.
Dead silence where your promise used to be
Noting the absence of a once-promised commitment.
You don't want me anymore but I'd rather be with you
Acknowledging the end of reciprocated feelings but longing for the past.
Dead roses are still beautiful to me
Finding beauty in the remnants of a relationship, despite its end.
Well, I still hang around, put money in the jukebox
Continuing to revisit shared memories through music.
Play those songs, let him ring the tears for me
Using songs to evoke and release emotions.
Friends all shake their heads and tell me to go on home
Facing disapproval from friends but clinging to memories.
But that's where all those memories will be
Seeing home as a repository of cherished memories.
Dead letters with words that are no longer true
Reiterating the existence of insincere messages from the past.
Dead silence where your promise used to be
Emphasizing the void left by broken promises.
You don't want me anymore but I'd rather be with you
Admitting the unreciprocated love while yearning for the other.
Dead roses are still beautiful to me, yeah
Finding beauty in the remnants of a relationship, emphasizing personal perception.
Dead letters with words that are no longer true
Repeating the theme of deceptive messages from the past.
Dead silence where your promise used to be
Reiterating the emptiness left by broken promises.
You don't want me anymore but honey I'd rather be with you
Acknowledging the absence of mutual affection but expressing a preference to be together.
Dead roses are still beautiful to me
Finding beauty in the remnants of a relationship despite its conclusion.
Dead roses are still beautiful to me, uh, oh
Repeating the sentiment of finding beauty in the faded.
