Lyrics
It’s a shot in the dark
Expressing uncertainty or risk in pursuing something.
Gripped me tight from the start
Describing a strong, immediate connection or attraction.
Got me spending my days
Investing time and effort in a relationship.
Watching time tick away
Feeling time passing while being engaged in the relationship.
Cause they’ll never love me like you
Comparing others' love to the unique love experienced.
I just know by the way that I
Noticing distinctive qualities in others.
Look into their eyes
Seeking clues in others' eyes but not finding the same love.
But they’ll never love me like you
Reiterating the uniqueness of the love shared.
Cause’ they won’t say they love me then
Others not expressing love in the same way.
Take my love with them
Expressing concern about love not being reciprocated.
Cause’ I got so many flavours of you
Having various experiences and memories with the person.
And sometimes they taste so much better
Acknowledging that other experiences may seem appealing.
But I always come back to get ya
Returning to the original person despite other experiences.
Oh I got so many flavours of you
Continuing to appreciate the different facets of the person.
I hope that sometimes I’ll forget ya
Hoping to forget but struggling to do so.
You stay on my tongue till’ the stars grow old
Expressing enduring feelings, comparing to the lifespan of stars.
Old
Repetition for emphasis on the concept of aging.
Old
-Wondering how long it’s been
Reflecting on the time since allowing someone into life.
Since I let someone in
Contemplating the period after the breakup or separation.
After you got caught up
Recalling a moment of being entangled in a situation.
Told myself it would stop
Setting a resolution to end a repetitive cycle.
Cause they’ll never love me like you
Reiterating the uniqueness of the original love.
I just know by the way that I
Observing distinctiveness in others' eyes but not the same love.
Look into their eyes
Repeating the theme of searching for a unique love.
But they’ll never love me like you
Reiterating the challenge of finding reciprocated love.
Cause’ they won’t say they love me then
Highlighting the difficulty in expressing love authentically.
Take my love with them
Emphasizing the emotional investment given but not reciprocated.
Cause’ I got so many flavours of you
Repeating the idea of experiencing different facets of the person.
(And sometimes they taste so much better)
Acknowledging the appeal of other experiences but returning.
I got so many flavours of you
-(But I always come back to get ya)
Continuing the cycle of appreciating different aspects of the person.
Oh I got so many flavours of you
-(And sometimes they taste so much better)
Reiterating the struggle between other experiences and returning.
I got so many flavours of you
-(But I always come back to get ya)
Continuing to return despite the allure of other experiences.
And sometimes I hope I’ll forget ya
Expressing a desire to forget the person but finding it difficult.
You stay on my tongue till’ the stars grow old
Reiterating enduring feelings, comparing to the lifespan of stars.
