Love on the Rocks
Love's Bitter Vintage: Emotions Aged in Melancholy
Lyrics
Love, like red wine, must have time to age.
Love, like red wine, needs time to mature and develop.
It mellows in flavor with each passing stage.
Love becomes more refined and enjoyable as it progresses.
But even the best of the vinege (vine) goes bad.
Even the best love can turn sour or go bad.
And whether it's wine or love, that?s sad.
Whether it's wine or love, the deterioration is a sad reality.
I won't answer love the next time it knocks.
Declining to respond to love when it comes knocking again.
I've had my fill of love on the rocks.
The singer has experienced enough heartbreak and disappointment in love.
A jigger of lying, garnished with fights.
Describing the negative elements in a past relationship: lies and fights.
Some bitters for crying, long unhappy nights.
Mentions tears and long, unhappy nights as part of the relationship.
A dash of lost dreams, then stir with regret.
Listing components of a failed love: lost dreams and regret.
Shake well, and pour, then drink and forget.
Suggesting the process of forgetting by shaking off the memories and drinking.
A tea spoon of teardrops seemed like a phase.
Initially, tears seemed temporary, but they persisted for too long.
But I cried too many long unhappy days.
Expressing the prolonged sadness and emotional pain from the relationship.
Good riddance to love it's too much to bear.
Welcoming the end of love and the relief from its burdens.
After this drink, I won't even care.
After this drink, the singer expects not to care about love anymore.
Love on the rocks, time to get high.
Referring to the aftermath of love as being on the rocks, suggesting a difficult time.
I'll drink to love, here's love in your eye
Toasting to love, with a playful reference to having love in one's eye.
Pop with a bubble, make it a double!
Suggesting a celebratory atmosphere with the idea of making it a double.
This is my last toast to love
Declaring this as the last toast to love, implying a decision to move on.
On the rocks
Reiterating the challenging state of love by referencing it being on the rocks.
Love on the rocks.
Emphasizing the difficult and troubled nature of the love experience.
