Could It Be Love This Time
Navigating the Maze of Love: Johnny Mathis's 'Could It Be Love This Time'
Lyrics
She doesn't wanna brush him off
She is reluctant to dismiss him outright.
She doesn't wanna lead him on
She doesn't want to give him false hope or mislead him.
She doesn't wanna give him any false hope
She is cautious about not creating unrealistic expectations for him.
But she doesn't want him gone
However, she doesn't want him to leave.
He's just patiently wandering and waiting
He is patiently waiting for her to make a decision.
For her to make up her mind
His patience is about her making up her mind.
Is it all over already
Questioning if the relationship is already over.
Or could it be love this time?
Wondering if there is a possibility of love this time.
It's just another injured heart
Describing his heart as wounded from previous experiences.
He's had it broken in the past
Referring to past heartbreaks.
He didn't mean to fall so hard
He didn't intend to fall deeply in love.
And he certainly didn't mean to fall so fast
He didn't expect to fall in love so quickly.
There's so many reasons that he should forget her
There are logical reasons for him to forget her, but he can't.
But he can't get her out of his mind
She remains in his thoughts persistently.
Is it all over already
Questioning if the relationship is already over.
Or could it be love this time?
Wondering if there is a possibility of love this time.
Hey, there flowing river, tell me what to do
Asking for guidance from an external source (flowing river).
I gotta have an answer, I need to know the truth
Seeking answers and the truth about the situation.
Am I still the joker? Am I still the fool?
Questioning his role in the relationship—whether he's still seen as a joker or fool.
Will I get the chance to share this love?
Hoping for the opportunity to share his love.
Will she ever love me too?
Wondering if she will reciprocate his love.
She doesn't wanna say for sure
She is hesitant to provide a definitive answer.
She doesn't wanna tell the no
She doesn't want to reject him outright.
She doesn't wanna make him wait anymore
She doesn't want to make him wait any longer.
She doesn't wanna let him go
She doesn't want to let him go.
He just wants to know if he'll hold her forever
He just wants to know if their love is everlasting or if it's time to say goodbye.
Or hold on to one last goodbye
Questioning the permanence of their relationship.
Is it all over already
Repeating the question if the relationship is already over.
Or could it be love this time?
Repeating the question if there is a possibility of love this time.
Is it all over already
Repeating the question if the relationship is already over.
Or could it be love this time?
Repeating the question if there is a possibility of love this time.
