There Lies the Difference
Eternal Love's Clarity: There Lies the Difference
Lyrics
I don't have to go out tonight
I have no obligation to go out tonight.
I don't have to guess who I'll see
I don't have to speculate about who I will meet.
I haven't been lonely
I haven't experienced loneliness.
Since the first time we met
My loneliness ended since the first time we met.
Now I know I'll never be
Now I am certain that I will never be lonely again.
'Cos I really care about you
Because I genuinely care about you.
And you really care about me
You genuinely care about me.
And there lies the difference
This is the crucial difference between now and when I was free.
Between now and when I was free
Emphasizing the contrast between current commitment and past freedom.
This time love won't go away
This time, love is enduring and won't fade away.
The future's so easy to see
The future is clear and predictable in our relationship.
And there lies the difference
Reiterating the significant difference between now and the past.
Between now and what used to be
Highlighting the contrast between the present and the past.
There's no substitute for the truth
The truth is irreplaceable, and there's no substitute for it.
And I know you come straight from the heart
Acknowledging the sincerity and authenticity of the partner.
And our love stands out in the light of the day
Our love is visible and stands out even in daylight.
Not only in the heat of the dark
Our love is not only evident in challenging times but also in the light of day.
'Cos I really care
Expressing genuine care.
If I could step back in time
If I could go back in time.
With offers of you to be mine
If I had the opportunity for you to be mine.
I'd only step back
I would only go back to the time when you came into my life.
As far as when you came to me
Emphasizing the significance of when the partner entered the speaker's life.
And this time love won't go away
Reassurance that this time, love is enduring and won't fade away.
The future's so easy to see
The future is clear and easily foreseeable in the relationship.
And they're lies?
Possibly a typo, it might be "there lies the difference" referring to the contrast mentioned throughout the lyrics.
